Umbilical Vein Varix

Umbilical vein varices are rare umbilical cord anomalies that typically occur intra-abdominally. Extra-abdominal umbilical vein varices are exceedingly rare and usually diagnosed postnatally on gross pathologic examination. Umbilical vein varices have been associated with increased risk of fetal anemia, cardiac abnormalities, and intrauterine fetal demise. This case report discusses a patient who presented with a massive extra-abdominal umbilical vein varix, whose infant was ultimately delivered due to fetal distress and died in the neonatal period. This report also discusses associated fetal conditions and guidelines for antenatal testing and surveillance of known umbilical vein varices.

Ischemic Encephalopathy

Midazolam is a short-acting water soluble benzodiazepine that has been used with an increasing frequency in the last years. Although there are reports on its use in status epilepticus, there is none in the neonatal period. A pre-term (35 w) AGA newborn infant with a severe hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy secondary to grade ED hyaline membrane disease developed status epilepticus in the first 6 hours of life and was successfully treated with midazolam after phenobarbital and phenytoin failed to achieve seizure control. Dosage schedule was 0.2 mg/kg IV, followed by continuous infusion of 0.025 mg/kg/h. Midazolam is an effective drug for neonatal status epilepticus and more experience should accumulate before it can be routinely employed in the neonatal period. This case shows that it is a possible option before using more dangerous drugs, such as thionembutal.

Febrile Episodes

Hyper IgD syndrome (HIDS) is a rare metabolic autoinflammatory syndrome characterised by recurrent febrile episodes, accompanied by various inflammatory symptoms. We present a case of severe HIDS in a young girl, whose symptoms started in the neonatal period with hepatomegaly, hepatitis, thrombocytopenia, and conjugated hyperbilirubinemia. From the age of five months, the child had recurrent febrile episodes, stomatitis, adenitis, and persistent hepatomegaly. The diagnosis of HIDS was established when she was three years and eight months old. This case report suggests that HIDS should be included in the differential diagnosis of neonatal hepatitis and conjugated hyperbilirubinemia.

Empyema thoracis (ET) is a significant cause of paediatric hospital admissions and mortality but an infrequent finding in the neonatal period. Our case was a three week old male who presented with respiratory distress and had empyema thoracis. He was managed successfully with antibiotics and chest tube thoracostomy drainage.

Female Genital

Imperforate hymen is the most common obstructive anomalies of the female genital tract. It is usually an isolated anomaly but can be rarely syndromic. It can be asymptomatic until puberty, but the diagnosis as early as neonatal period has been reported and as with our neonate with hematocolpos. The aim of this case report is to present the early diagnosis and treatment of a female neonate with imperforate hymen taking into consideration the religious and traditional value of preservation of virginity in our community, and to stress the importance of careful post birth examination of the neonate and early management to avoid complications of late diagnosis.

Heterotaxy disorder is a disturbance in the usual left and right distribution of the thoracic and abdominal organs. Ivemark syndrome is one such heterotaxy disorder. It is a rare disorder which affects males more than females with majority of cases presenting in the neonatal period mainly due to complex congenital cardiac disease. Here is a case report of rare disorder of the neonate with Ivemark syndrome with obstructed supracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC). Management of obstructed supracardiac TAPVC is complicated as PGE1 infusion is contraindicated and immediate surgical correction is advised.
