Voice disorders in the pediatric population are common, but have been understudied. Inflammation, trauma, and neurologic and congenital anomalies all can result in childhood dysphonia. Laryngopharyngeal reflux, an extraesophageal variation of gastroesophageal reflux, has been associated with laryngeal symptoms of dysphonia, globus sensation, throat clearing, and chronic cough in children. This article reviews the current evaluation and treatment techniques of reflux and the effects of laryngopharyngeal reflux on voice quality in children. A case study illustrates the importance of treating laryngeal inflammation to achieve an accurate diagnosis.

First Year Of Life

According to multiple researchers and studies, congenital heart disease (CHD) occurs in approximately 4.8–12.0 of 1,000 live births in the general population, and 2.4 per 1,000 cases are serious enough to require surgery or cardiac catheterization in the first year of life.1 Historically, it has been assumed that the earlier the gestational age with CHD, the poorer the outcome; however, with continued improvements in neonatal care, this hypothesis should be looked at more closely. This case illustrates the challenges associated with prematurity, complex cardiac defects, intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH), and other congenital anomalies that increase the risk of infection and/or surgical intervention. It will discuss the hospital course of a twin, born at 27 weeks gestation, who was found to have all of these diagnoses, yet, despite the complexity of his case, he had a predominantly uncomplicated hospital course.

Congenital anomalies, and less frequently multiple congenital anomalies, are encountered in domestic animals, which in turn may cause obstetrical problems (Noakes et al., 2002). Schistosomus reflexus is characterized by anomaly of the trunk with actual angulation of vertebral column, herniation of abdominal organs and skeleton defects leading to dystocia. Only cases that display both visceral exposure and spinal inversion are considered as true Schistosomus reflexus (Laughton et al., 2005). The condition is a type of monstrosity reported most commonly in cattle (Knight, 1996; Kalirajan and Rani, 2016; Prabaharan et al., 2016), buffalo (Kumar et al., 2012), sheep (Mukasa- Mugerwa and Bekele, 1989) and goats (Barman et al., 2010). The prevalence of Schistosomus reflexus is believed to occur in cattle from as low as 0.01% (Sloss and Johnston, 1967) to 1.3% (Knight, 1996).

Abstract Voice disorders in the pediatric population are common, but have been understudied. Inflammation, trauma, neurologic, and congenital anomalies can all result in childhood dysphonia. Laryngopharyngeal reflux, an extra-esophageal variation of gastroesophageal reflux, has been associated with laryngeal symptoms of dysphonia, globus sensation, throat-clearing, and chronic cough in children. This article reviews the current evaluation and treatment techniques of reflux, and the effects of laryngopharyngeal reflux on voice quality in children. A case study illustrating the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in diagnosing and treating this challenging disorder is presented.

ABSTRACT Objective: The epidemiological profile of congenital anomalies of the upper limbs (CAULs) is of major relevance to monitoring and planning. A study of this profile may reveal if there is prevalence of some specific type of malformation in comparison to a more comprehensive epidemiological sample. The Latin American Collaborative Study of Congenital Malformations (ECLAMC) has an extensive database, providing an excellent source of comparison. This study aims to evaluate the epidemiological profile of CAULs at the hand surgery department of the Hospital Federal da Lagoa (HFL) in Brazil, and compare it to the ECLAMC data. Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of patients who underwent treatment at the pediatric outpatient hand surgery clinic. The sample universe consisted of 126 patients (4 of these patients presented with 2 simultaneous anomalies), totaling 130 malformations. Results: The results demonstrated that the comparable pathologies have significantly similar incidence rates. It is worth noting the polydactylies (pre- and post-axial), where the percentile of incidence in the ECLAMC was higher. Conclusion: This study showed that the epidemiological profile of patients who underwent treatment at this hospital was equivalent to that found in the ECLAMC database. Level of evidence III, Retrospective epidemiological study.
