Extractions: Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX Seckel Syndrome is a rare (<1:10,000) constellation of malformations, presumably inherited as an autosomal-recessive trait. The primary characteristic features of Seckel Syndrome (SS) include; severe intrauterine growth restriction, microcephaly, orofacial dysmorphology with characteristic "bird-headed" appearance, and mental retardation. Case Report The patient is a 43 year old gravida 5, para 3, with a history of a child diagnosed with SS . The effected child died at the age of three years secondary to respiratory complications sustained under general anesthesia during a minor surgical procedure. The patient presented for ultrasound evaluation and genetic amniocentesis at 15.0 weeks gestation by menstrual history. Ultrasound demonstrated a normal appearing female fetus. Fetal biometry was consistent with 15.0 weeks gestation, with all parameters equal to the mean for gestational age. Menstrual dates were therefore confirmed as accurate. Genetic amniocentesis was performed without complications. In light of the patient's history of an SS effected child, repeat ultrasound evaluation were recommended to monitor fetal growth. Chromosomal analysis showed a normal 46,XX karyotype. Subsequent ultrasound examinations are summarized below.

Some are constitutional, some are genetic, and some are the result of hormonal disorders. In some cases the growth disorder may be recognized at birth; in others, a parent may be concerned that the child is the shortest in the class, still wearing the same size clothing as last year, and growing less than two inches a year. In these cases, a thorough medical evaluation by a pediatric endocrinologist (or other growth specialist) is necessary to determine if there is a growth disorder affecting the child's development.

Congenital Anomalies Topics [General] Congenital Heart Disease Pulmonary Vascular Disease Heart Failure ... Chromosomal Abnormalities Musculoskeletal Abnormalities Some important and common disorders of the newborn's musculoskeletal system are discussed below. CRANIOFACIAL ABNORMALITIES Various craniofacial abnormalities arise from maldevelopment of the 1st and 2nd visceral arches, which form the facial bones and ears during the 2nd mo of gestation. These malformations include cleft lip and cleft palate; Treacher Collins' (mandibulofacial dysostosis), Goldenhar's (oculoauriculovertebral dysplasia), Pierre Robin, and Waardenburg syndromes; hypertelorism; and external and middle ear deformities. The most common syndromes are described in Table 261-3. Most infants with craniofacial abnormalities have normal intelligence and development. Cleft lip and cleft palate are the most common 1st arch defects, occurring once in 700 to 800 births. Among the postulated causes are the use of benzodiazepines during early pregnancy. The cleft may vary from involvement of the soft palate only, to a complete cleft of the soft and hard palates, the alveolar process of the maxilla, and the lip. The mildest form is a bifid uvula.

Extractions: Definition: A child is considered short if :- His height is less than 3 rd percentile or 2 standard deviations below the mean height for that age. Even if the height is within normal percentiles but growth velocity is consistently below 25 th percentile over 6-12 months of observation. If the patient is excessively short for the mid-parental height, though his absolute height may be within the normal percentiles. Useful point to note : 80% of children with height less than 3SD below mean have pathologic Short Stature whereas 80% of children with height less than 2SD usually have normal variant Short Stature.

The 18-23-week Scan - Chapter 10.02 XXX, 47,XXY and 47,XYY), there is no significant change with maternal age and, sincethe rate of intrauterine lethality is Rarely, this is a sign of dwarfism. http://www.fetalmedicine.com/18-23scanbook/Chapter10/chap10-02.htm
Extractions: Ultrasound studies have demonstrated that major chromosomal defects are often associated with multiple fetal abnormalities. The overall risk for chromosomal defects increases with the total number of abnormalities that are identified. It is therefore recommended that, when an abnormality/marker is detected at routine ultrasound examination, a thorough check is made for the other features of the chromosomal defect(s) known to be associated with that marker; should additional abnormalities be identified, the risk is dramatically increased (Table 2). Table 2 Incidence of chromosomal defects in relation to number of sonographically detected abnormalities (Nicolaides et al., Lancet 1992;340:704-7) Abnormalities n Chromosomal defects 8 or more If there are minor defects, the risk for trisomy 21 is calculated by multiplying the background (maternal age- and gestation-related risk) by a factor depending on the specific defect. For the following conditions, there are sufficient data in the literature to estimate the risk factors. Nuchal edema or fold more than 6 mm This is the second-trimester form of nuchal translucency. It is found in about 0.5% of fetuses and it may be of no pathological significance. However, it is sometimes associated with chromosomal defects, cardiac anomalies, infection or genetic syndromes. For isolated nuchal edema, the risk for trisomy 21 may be ten-times the background risk.
Prominent Congenital Defects In Nebraska Beef Cattle, G85-759-A dwarfism occurs in all breeds of cattle. It has been described as a genetic defectin many breeds, and intrauterine fetal infections with BVD and bluetongue http://www.ianr.unl.edu/pubs/beef/g759.htm
Extractions: Congenital defects are abnormalities of structure or function present at birth. They may be caused by genetic or environmental factors, or a combination of both. The causes of many defects remain unknown. Developmental defects may be lethal, semi-lethal, or compatible with life, causing very little effect or only aesthetic effect. With the increasing use of artificial insemination (AI) in cattle, defects are no longer rare occurrences and are important collectively to the cattle industry. Congenital defects cause economic losses by increasing perinatal calf mortality, decreasing maternal productivity, and decreasing the value of defective calves and their relatives. Susceptibility to injurious agents varies with fetal development and decreases with age. Before Day 14 of gestation in cattle (period of pre-attachment), the zygote or embryo is resistant to agents that produce the incidence of congenital malformations (teratogens), but is susceptible to genetic mutations and abnormality of chromosome numbers or structures (chromosomal aberrations). During the embryonic period (Days 14-42), the embryo is highly susceptible to teratogens, but this decreases with embryonic age as critical periods for the various organs are passed. The fetus (Day 42+) becomes increasingly resistant to teratogenic agents with age, except for the late differentiating structures, such as cerebellum, palate, and urogenital system.

Extractions: ULTRASOUND SERVICES What are Obstetric Ultrasound Scans/Sonograms? What about Safety? It has been over 35 years since ultrasound was first used on pregnant women. Unlike X-rays, ionizing irradiation is not present and embryotoxic effects associated with such irradiation should not be relevant. The use of high intensity ultrasound is associated with the effects of "heating" which can be present with prolonged insonation in laboratory situations. Harmful effects in cells of experimental animals or humans however have not been demonstrated in the large amount of studies that have so far appeared in the medical literature purporting to the use of diagnostic ultrasound in the clinical setting. The greatest risks arising from the use of ultrasound are the possible over- and under- diagnosis brought about by inadequately trained staff, often working in relative isolation and using poor equipment. Why and when is Ultrasound used in Pregnancy?
