Coarctation of the aorta in the newborn: a clinical study.

The clinical findings and presentation in nine consecutive neonates in whom coarctation of the aorta was diagnosed over a period of two years were reviewed. Coarctation of the aorta constituted 16% of all infants with congenital cardiovascular malformations admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Nursery. The mean age on admission was 8.3 days. The admission findings included absent femoral pulses, 5; feeble femoral pulses, 4; differential blood pressure between upper and lower extremities, 9; congestive heart failure, 8; hypertension, 2; and failure to thrive, 1. Five of the infants died owing to refractory congestive heart failure at the mean age of 10.2 days. It is emphasized that palpation of the femoral pulse should be a routine examination in the neonatal period in order to detect coarctation of the aorta and that surgical intervention may be considered in cases refractory to medical management.

Cyclopic malformation in infants of diabetic mothers.

Two cases of cyclopic malformations are described among 450 infants of diabetic mothers during a period of four years. Both died within 30 min. of birth. Both belonged to unrelated Libyan families with absent consanguinity and family history. No chromosomal defect was found in either. A possible etiological association with uncontrolled maternal diabetes is discussed.
