Abstract

New concepts in pediatric surgery have been developed concerning inter-disciplinary problems such as ureter implantation or urinary undiversion as well as deformities of abdominal organs such as biliary atresia, anorectal malformations, adrenogenital syndrome and sinus urogenitalis. Considerable improvements in fetal surgery as a part of pediatric surgery were achieved. For diagnostic, surgical and ethical reasons, however, these efforts are, for the time being, only of theoretical interest.

Burns caused by fan heater used for managing post-operative hypothermia in a premature neonate.

Generally fan forced area heaters are considered to be incapable of causing burn injury. A case is presented where such a heater was used to prevent post-operative hypothermia after cut-back anoplasty to correct low anorectal malformation (imperforate anus) in a premature neonate. The neonate sustained dermo-epidermal (second degree) burns to the abdominal wall and right forearm which were swaddled with cloth and deep (third degree) burns to the fingers of left hand that were exposed as intravenous line was inserted at dorsum of the hand.

Shprintzen-Goldberg omphalocele syndrome: a new patient with an expanded phenotype.

Shprintzen and Goldberg [1979] described a new autosomal dominant syndrome characterized by omphalocele, scoliosis, pharyngeal and laryngeal hypoplasia, mild dysmorphic face, and learning disabilities. This condition was described in a father and three daughters, one of whom died in infancy, probably of airway narrowing. Here, we report on a second observation of this syndrome in a 6-year-old patient. In our case, omphalocele, imperforate anus, and feeding impairment were the main clinical problems in the neonatal period. Scoliosis appeared during the fourth year of age. The facial appearance is similar to the original patients and additional clinical findings are described which expand the phenotypic spectrum.
