Generally, diseases outlined within the ICD-10 codes P50-P61 within Chapter XVI: Certain conditions originating in the perinatal period should be included in this category. Pages in category "Haemorrhagic and haematological disorders of fetus and newborn"
Abnormal chest radiographs were found in 23/25 THAN victims, and 0/9 in UCED patients. [6] The gestational age was less than 36 weeks in 25/31 THAN patients, but only 1/13 UCED patients. [6] The birthweight was less than 2.5 kg in 27/31 THAN patients and in 2/12 UCED patients. [6]
Vitamin K deficiency bleeding (VKDB) of the newborn, previously known as haemorrhagic disease of the newborn, [1] is a rare form of bleeding disorder that affects newborns and young infants due to low stores of vitamin K at birth. [2] It commonly presents with intracranial haemorrhage with the risk of brain damage or death. [3]
This can cause decreased or acute cessation of blood flow, decreased cardiac output, and pulmonary complications in the newborn. [2] The elongated, exposed vessels in lower velamentous cord insertion cases are more readily compressed by the fetus, hence there is an even greater risk of non-reassuring fetal heart rate pattern and emergency ...
The majority of hemoglobin variants do not cause disease and are most commonly discovered either incidentally or through newborn screening. Hb variants can usually be detected by protein-based assay methods such as electrophoresis , [ 15 ] isoelectric focusing , [ 16 ] or high-performance liquid chromatography . [ 17 ]
Hematemesis is the vomiting of blood. [1] This is usually vomit that contains bright red blood. [2] Coffee ground vomiting is similar to hematemesis, but is distinct in not involving bright red blood. [3] Hematemesis must be differentiated from hemoptysis (coughing up blood) and epistaxis (nosebleed). [4] Both of these are more common conditions.
Caput medusae is the appearance of distended and engorged superficial epigastric veins, which are seen radiating from the umbilicus across the abdomen. The name caput medusae (Latin for "head of Medusa") originates from the apparent similarity to Medusa's head, which had venomous snakes in place of hair.
[10] Newborns with harlequin-type ichthyosis present with thick, fissured armor-plate hyperkeratosis. [11] Sufferers feature severe cranial and facial deformities. The ears may be very poorly developed or absent, as may the nose. The eyelids may be everted , which leaves the eyes and the area around them very susceptible to infection. [12]
