Objectives: 1. Describe neonatal classification of WHO. 2. Identify some principal clinical and paraclinical signs of term, preterm, post term babies. Patients and method: an observational descriptive study of 233 newborns hospitalized in neonatal unit at Hue university‘ s hospital was done during 12 months from 01/01/2009 to 31/12/2009 for describing neonatal classification and identifying principal clinical and paraclinical signs. Results: Premature (16.74%); Term babies (45.5%); Post term (37.76%); Premature: asphyxia (43.59%), hypothermia (25.64%), vomit (30.77%), jaundice (61.54%), congenital malformation (17.95%); CRP > 10mg/l (53.85%); anemia Hb < 15g/dl (12.82%). Term babies: poor feeding (21.7%); fever (24.53%); CRP > 10mg/l (53.77%); Hyperleucocytes/ Leucopenia (35.85%). Post term: respiratory distress (34%); lethargy (29.55%); vomit (26.14%); polycuthemia (1.14%); hypoglycemia (22.73%). Conclusion: each of neonatal type classified by WHO presente different clinical and paraclinical. Signs. The purpose of this research is to help to treat neonatal pathology more effectively.

Background: Congenital malformation is responsible for spontaneous abortion, the birth of a child born dead or a child with disabilities that can lead to long-term disability and have a detrimental impact on the individual, his family and society. The etiologies are diverse. The discovery in our maternity is not rare. The absence and high cost of these prenatal diagnostic are a brake on the detection of congenital malformations. It is these various malformations diagnosed in the ante natal and at birth in our service that we describe in this work which aims to make their panorama.Methods: The purpose of this cross-sectional and descriptive study curried out between 1 January 2003 and 31 December 2013 (10 years) was to describe the various congenital malformations observed at the maternity of the Gynecology and Obstetrics ward of the Treichville University Hospital Center and to identify the socio-demographic characteristics of mothers. This study concerned all women who had given birth at the Treichville University Hospital Center and whose child had a malformation.Results: During the period, 151 parturients gave birth to at least one child with a congenital malformation and among 30,698 newborns, 161 newborns (0.52%) had a malformation. Pregnant women were between 20 and 30 years old (66%), were primiparous in 46.4% of the cases, and 41.7% were housewives. The malformations were isolated in 101 newborns (62.4%), multiple in 60 newborns (37.6%), and dominated by those of the osteoarticular system and the nervous system. Fetal malformations had a poor prognosis in 77 cases (48%) and the fetus was stillborn in 44 cases (27%).Conclusions: Congenital malformations are a reality at the maternity clinic at Treichville. In our countries, the ultrasound stays a fundamental element for the congenital diagnosis of the malformations. A good training of the doctors in prenatal diagnosis is also necessary to make of good diagnoses who will allow a better care of new-born.

Diastematomyelia is a rare congenital malformation anomaly that results in the splitting of the spinal cord in a longitudinal direction. It is caused by the presence of the septum of bone, the cartilage or the fibers in spinal canal. This septum vertical distribution of cord or spinal canal that is divided into two hemicords can be complete or incomplete. In the case of complete separation that isn't consolidated until the terminal filum and that is called the duplicated spinal cord. Key words: Diastematomyelia, splitting, congenital malformation, duplicated spinal cord.

Recently, the functional aspect as well as morphological aspect of the reserve cells in the cervix uteri drew much attention in view of the carcinogenesis in squamocolumunar junction. In this communication, the authors elucidate the ultrastructural features of the reserve cells in patients of various age groups visiting our university hospital and affiliated hospital.From conventional light microscopic point of view, the reserve cells tend to be pronounced in various pathological conditions, such as the persisting inflammation, proliferative disorders and irritation of hormones. The morphological patterns of the reserve cells from various stage and degree of irritation were observed.
