Paraesophageal hernia in the neonatal period ? another differential diagnosis of esophageal atresia

We report a case of blueberry muffin syndrome, a rare dermatosis that occurs during the neonatal period. This syndrome is particularly interesting because, despite similar clinical manifestations, it may have various pathological mechanisms and, therefore, requires differential diagnosis. Awareness of doctors of different specialties about clinical manifestations of blueberry muffin syndrome will ensure correct differential diagnosis, timely treatment initiation, no unnecessary therapy, and exclusion of malignant tumors in a child. Key words: neonatal period, blueberry muffin, intrauterine infection of the fetus, TORCH infections, extramedullary hematopoiesis

Febrile Episodes

Hyper IgD syndrome (HIDS) is a rare metabolic autoinflammatory syndrome characterised by recurrent febrile episodes, accompanied by various inflammatory symptoms. We present a case of severe HIDS in a young girl, whose symptoms started in the neonatal period with hepatomegaly, hepatitis, thrombocytopenia, and conjugated hyperbilirubinemia. From the age of five months, the child had recurrent febrile episodes, stomatitis, adenitis, and persistent hepatomegaly. The diagnosis of HIDS was established when she was three years and eight months old. This case report suggests that HIDS should be included in the differential diagnosis of neonatal hepatitis and conjugated hyperbilirubinemia.

Male To Female

Congenital Choanal Atresia (CA) is the failure in the development in communication between the nasal cavity and the nasopharynx. Its incidence is 1 in 7000 births. The male to female ratio for infants with choanal atresia is 2.2. Approximately two-thirds of cases are unilateral. Structurally there are two main types– a) Osseous-90% b) Membranous. Bilateral CA is an important but rare cause of respiratory distress in newborn. The distress improves with an oral airway. Here 3 paediatric cases of congenital choanal atresia are being discussed. Choanal atresia as a differential diagnosis should always be kept in mind in children presenting with respiratory distress in early neonatal period and in patients presenting with unilateral nasal discharge. Endoscopic surgical technique of choanal atresia repair along with stenting was done in all the 3 cases.
