The most common cause of mental retardation and is accompanied with growth restrictions in utero, craniofacial structural anomalies and central nervous system dysfunction
Defect of the craniofacial bones, very common
Bilateral or unilateral
Type of jaundice developing in first 24 hours of life, with bilirubin peaking at 10 mg/dl
Opening in spine below T12 vertebrae
Leading cause of infantile paralysis
A defect of the umbilical ring and subsequent evisceration of abdominal contents into external peritoneum
The esophagus and trachea do not separate
When serum bilirubin levels exceed 5 g/dl
Impaired gas exchange causes inadequate oxygen levels and increased carbon dioxide levels
Cause of cerebral palsy, mental retardation and 20% of all infant deaths
Herniation of meninges with spinal cord and nerve roots protruding
Cerebral-Spinal Fluid may leak
Rectum ends in a blind pouch with a fistula between the rectum and the perineum
Inhalation of particulate meconium in the amniotic fluid
2-5% die with this disease
Yellowing of the skin, sclera and mucous membranes caused by an increase in bilirubin levels
40-60% of newborns have it 3-4 days after birth
Bladder protrudes through abdominal wall
Surgery needed within 48 hrs
Abnormal development of retinal vessels
Associated with assisted ventilation and a high oxygen concentration
Herniation of abdominal contents through the abdominal wall with no peritoneal sac involvement
Significant newborn mortality and morbidity
Bleeding in germinal matrix of the brain
50% of premature infants, 4% of term infants
Description
Disorder or Defect
Hints

A small brain within a large cranium
Neurological or cognitive impairment accompanies
Increase cerebral-spinal fluid in ventricles of brain
Associated with Spina Bifida
Proximal and distal ends of the esophagus do not communicate causing a blockage
Assess the 3 C's: chocking, coughing, cyanosis
Herniation of meninges and spinal fluid
Type of jaundice developing after the first 24 hours of birth with a bilirubin level exceeding 17 mg/dl
Bilirubin levels increase by 5 mg/kg/dl
Requires a Pavlik harness to decrease adduction and promote abduction of the hips
