[Vitamin supply of premature infants with intracranial birth injuries fed in different ways].

A total of 136 premature infants with intracranial birth trauma were studied during the first 2 months of life for vitamin B, C, A and carotinoid supply with regard to their body mass at birth and type of feeding. Premature children with different patterns of birth trauma showed low supply with thiamine, riboflavin, niacin and vitamin A in the presence of breast feeding. Combined feeding raised the supply of the children under observation with thiamine and riboflavin. The data obtained attest to the necessity of further study in this direction with the purpose of developing pathogenetically validated schemes for vitamin therapy of premature children.

Neurosurgical correction of upper brachial plexus birth injuries.

The authors review the cases of 116 infants treated consecutively for birth-related brachial plexus injuries. Twenty-eight infants with upper brachial plexus lesions who showed no neurological improvement by 4 months of age were selected for early surgical reconstruction (at a mean age of 5 months). Neurological improvement of the affected arm was observed in more than 90% (p < 0.05) of the children examined longer than 9 months after brachial plexus reconstruction. A conservatively managed control subgroup of 44 children, first examined at less than 3 months of age, demonstrated neurological improvement by 4 months of age and continued to show improvement at 1 year of age. Early surgical reconstruction is recommended for infants with birth-related upper brachial plexus injury who show no neurological improvement by the age of 4 months.
