Last weeks lead-up to surgery for Colin Ranson had all the plot twists of a Hollywood movie, but in the end, it appears the two-year-olds surgery was a success.. The Rev. Paul and Kim Ranson, their sons, Colin and Isaac, 3, and Kims parents are in Houston, Texas for Colins laser brain surgery to blast a tumour that had been causing multiple gelastic seizures. The hope to be home by mid-month.. The Rothesay couple chose Texas Childrens Hospital, a centre of excellence for treatment of Colins rare disease, Pallister-Hall Syndrome, which is the source of a benign tumour-like growth deep inside his brain on his hypothalamus. Less than 500 children in the world have this condition.. All last week, Colin underwent pre-op tests, including an EEG, blood work, MRI and PET scans, as well as doctors appointments. But it was Wednesday when it became apparent that Fridays surgery was threatened by a bad cough and a possible infection.. Colin was admitted to hospital on Wednesday evening was a fever ...

Symptoms of the following disorders can be similar to those of Pallister-Hall syndrome. Comparisons may be useful for a differential diagnosis:. There are a number of related disorders characterized by mutations in the GLI3 gene. This group of disorders includes Greig cephalopolysyndactyly syndrome, Pallister-Hall syndrome, postaxial polydactyly type A, preaxial polydactyly type IV, oral-facial-digital syndrome, and acrocallosal syndrome. These disorders occur due to different mutations of the GLI3 gene (allelic disorders) and share some similar characteristics. Despite similarities, these disorders are considered distinct clinical entities.. Greig cephalopolysyndactyly syndrome (GCPS) is a rare inherited disorder characterized by physical abnormalities affecting the fingers and toes (digits) and the head and facial area. Characteristic digital features may include extra fingers and/or toes, webbing and/or fusion of the fingers and/or toes, and/or additional abnormalities. Craniofacial features ...

The primary feature of Pallister-Hall syndrome is the hypothalamic hamartoma. Other major manifestations of the syndrome include polydactyly, dysplastic nails, bifid epiglottis, imperforate anus, renal anomalies, pituitary dysplasia, and hypopituitarism (5).. In familial cases, Pallister-Hall syndrome has been noted to be inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern with variable expressivity. It has been linked with a mutation to a zinc finger transcription factor gene, GLI3, which resides on chromosome 7p13 in some inherited probands (6, 7). Mutations to the GLI3 gene have been associated also with Greig cephalopolysyndactyly syndrome.. Histologic examination of the hypothalamic lesions in patients who died as neonates demonstrated primitive germinal cells, which indicated a neoplastic potential (1, 8). For this reason, the term hypothalamic hamartoblastoma was assigned initially to these tumors. Subsequent pathologic examination of tumors from older patients with Pallister-Hall syndrome, ...

Polydactyly is a relatively common abnormality in infants. However, it can be a marker of a wide variety of neurological and systemic abnormality. Hence, it is important for pediatrician and physician to have insight into the various association of this apparently innocuous anomaly. In this write-up, we report an extremely rare syndrome associated with polydactyly that is Pallister-Hall syndrome. A 10-month-old male child born by lower segment cesarean section presented with global delay associated with microcephaly, frontal bossing, hypertelorism, flat nose, short philtrum, incomplete cleft in the upper lip and hard palate, polydactyly, and syndactyly ...

Holoprosencephaly (HPE) is the most common structural malformation of the developing forebrain in humans and is typically characterized by different degrees of hemispheric separation that are often accompanied by similarly variable degrees of craniofacial and midline anomalies. HPE is a classic example of a complex genetic trait with pseudo-autosomal dominant transmission showing incomplete penetrance and variable expressivity. Clinical suspicion of HPE is typically based upon compatible craniofacial findings, the presence of developmental delay or seizures, or specific endocrinological abnormalities, and is then followed up by confirmation with brain imaging. Once a clinical diagnosis is made, a thorough genetic evaluation is necessary. This usually includes analysis of chromosomes by high-resolution karyotyping, clinical assessment to rule-out well recognized syndromes that are associated with HPE (e.g., Pallister-Hall syndrome, Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome and others), and molecular studies of the

TY - JOUR. T1 - Fetal demise by umbilical cord around abdomen and stricture. AU - Tan, Shun Jen. AU - Chen, Chi Huang. AU - Wu, Gwo Jang. AU - Chen, Wei Hwa. AU - Chang, Cheng Chang. PY - 2010/1. Y1 - 2010/1. N2 - Umbilical cord abnormalities are accepted as conditions associated with intrauterine fetal demise (IUFD), and umbilical cord stricture is most frequently encountered. In addition, although cord entanglement with multiple loops rarely increases the perinatal mortality, it is associated with a significant increase in variable kind of morbidity such as growth restriction. We describe a 27-year-old woman, with a missed abortion history at about 10 weeks gestation in her first pregnancy, who presented to our outpatient department at 34 4/7 weeks of gestation due to decreased fetal activity during the preceding week. No fetal heart activity and blood flow had been detected by ultrasonography and pulsed-wave Doppler. A demised fetus with umbilical cord stricture and three loops around ...

last week: it was a little crazier. there was one day where we had a woman who was only 10 weeks pregnant--severely anemic--her hemoglobin was 4.6--maybe it was 3.6--she was having a hard time--we were going to do a blood transfusion but the red cross had no blood. i dont know what happened with her. at the same time as she was there, i was catching this ladys baby who had died inside of her--an IUFD (intrauterine fetal demise)--she was 8 months pregnant but the baby looked more like 20 or 22 weeks (5 months)--so i caught her baby, and really tried to get the students right there by her side supporting her, stroking her, massaging her...we had induced her that morning with 100 mcg misoprostol (cytotec)--she had her baby like 5 hours later--a footling breech--so, she had cried some, i thad told the students not to tell her not to cry--to encourage her to let herself cry and that we were there with her--so she had cried some before, and now too, and then now, with this bring her 1st baby, and ...

A 20-year-old woman, primigravida at 36(+4) weeks gestation presented with malaise, vomiting for 1 week, yellowish discoloration of the eyes for 3 days and loss of fetal movements. A clinical diagnosis of acute fatty liver with intrauterine fetal demise was made. Labor was induced with prostaglandin E2 gel and delivered vaginally. The post-partum period was complicated by atonic post-partum hemorrhage, an episode of seizure, recurrent hypoglycemic attack, hypokalemia and continuing coagulopathy. Supportive management in the intensive care unit using blood and blood products and injection recombinant activated factor VIIa to arrest the bleeding resulted in a successful outcome ...

RCP has released an updated version of the clinical practice resource Intrauterine Fetal Death & Stillbirth: Guidelines for Investigation, revised in September 2020.. The guideline presents care and investigative options for childbearing persons (and their relatives) who experience intrauterine fetal demise (IUFD) or stillbirth. Discussing options for investigating fetal demise is one of the most challenging conversations perinatal health professionals will initiate. Parents and families may need additional time to carefully consider their options, and follow-up discussion before final decisions can be made and consent given.. ...

A 2-year-old girl, with bifid epiglottis, imperforate anus, and mesoaxial and postaxial polysyndactyly (figure 1), first developed focal seizures at 3 months of age with subsequent progression to generalized seizures. Her epilepsy is well-controlled with carbamazepine and her development is normal. EEG was normal. MRI brain revealed hypothalamic hamartoma (figure 2). Targeted next-generation sequencing revealed a de novo pathogenic variant (c.2149C , T;p.Gln717*) in GLI3, confirming Pallister-Hall syndrome, which is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern. Its primary feature is hypothalamic hamartoma, which can result in hypopituitarism and epilepsy (classically gelastic), which responds well to antiepileptic medications.1 ...

A new study has revealed that progesterone could be key to preventing recurrent miscarriage. According to researchers at the Yale School of Medicine and University of Illinois at Chicago, US, progesterone could give hope to women who suffer multiple miscarriages in the first four to five weeks of pregnancy. The researchers revealed that intrauterine foetal demise (IUFD) currently affects approximately 30,000 women each year in the US, while 25 per cent of all women who become pregnant suffer a loss in the first trimester.

BACKGROUND: Cell types are defined at the molecular level during embryogenesis by a process called pattern formation and created by the selective utilization of combinations of sequence-specific transcription factors. Developmental programs define the sets of genes that are available to each particular cell type, and real-time biochemical signaling interactions define the extent to which these sets are used at any given time and place. Gene expression is regulated through the integrated action of many cis-regulatory elements, including core promoters, enhancers, silencers, and insulators. The chromatin state in developing body parts provides a code to cellular populations that directs their cell fates. Chromatin profiling has been a method of choice for mapping regulatory sequences in cells that go through developmental transitions. RESULTS: We used antibodies against histone H3 lysine 4 trimethylations, a modification associated with promoters and open/active chromatin, histone H3 lysine 27 ...

Study Design We analyzed a retrospective cohort of all singleton, nonanomalous births in California between 2005 and 2008 as recorded in a statewide birth certificate registry. We included all births between 24+0 and 41+6 weeks gestational age, excluding multiple gestations, major congenital anomalies, and pregnancies affected by oligohydramnios. Polyhydramnios was identified by International Classification of Diseases, ninth revision, codes. χ2tests were used to compare the dichotomous outcomes, and multivariable logistic regression analyses were then performed ...

Mullerian duct anomalies (MDAs) are congenital defects of the female genital tract that arise from abnormal embryological development of the Mullerian ducts. Unicornuate uterus with or without rudimentary horn is developmental anomaly which occurs due to abnormal or failed development of one of the paired mullerian duct or fusion of the ducts. Women with unicornuate uterus have increased incidence of obstetric complications like spontaneous abortions, preterm delivery and intrauterine foetal demise and gynaecological complications like infertility, endometriosis and dysmenorrhoea. A 25 years old, primigravida was admitted at 38 weeks 3 days gestational age with complaints of leaking per vaginum. She was induced with PGE2 gel under antibiotic coverage to prevent chorioamnionitis. She underwent emergency caesarean section for failure to progress and intra-operatively she was incidentally found to have unicornuate uterus with contralateral fallopian tube directly getting attached to the ovary. The ...
