Case report of a 7 1/2-years old girl considered as being normal until the age of 2 years. From then on she progressed with gait disturbance, mental deterioration, dystonic movements, convulsions and dysarthria. She died of bronchopneumonia one year later. CT scan showed hyperdensity at the putamina, with no signs of cerebral atrophy. Pathological examination disclosed an intense red coloration of the putamina and axonal «spheroids» at electron microscopy.

Jejunal atresia is a rare congenital malformation. Mortality, which was 90% in the 1950s, decreased to approximately 10%. There are studies reporting 1/5000 incidence. We presented a case with polyhydramnios and enlargement of the intestines in the prenatal period, a nutritional defect after birth, with dilated bowel loops with air-fluid levels on the direct abdominal x-ray, and operated on the first day of postnatal diagnosis. Keywords: Abdominal distention, Polyhydroamniosis, Jejunal atresia, Newborn.

Fetal Vessels

The monoamnionic placenta of this twin gestation had focal amnion necrosis, but this was present only over the fetal surface vessels of one twin; this twin also developed cerebral atrophy. We hypothesize that this degeneration is due to a more severely reduced oxygen tension in its vessels. The placental amnion epithelium may undergo several degenerative processes, including amnion nodosum and changes due to meconium staining. Sonography had disclosed what appeared to be a dividing membrane, but this was not found at birth when monoamnionic twins with entangled cords presented. The amnion degeneration was present only over the large surface fetal vessels of the placenta of that twin who also developed central nervous system degeneration, and macrophage infiltration was confined to the same lesions. Focal hypoxia from entangling cords may have caused this defect.

Brainstem Herniation

Mode of delivery and intrapartum analgesia for women with Chiari I malformation pose a challenge to the obstetrician and anaesthetist. Clinicians often advocate caesarean section delivery under general anaesthetic to prevent an uncontrolled rise in intracranial pressure or a fall in cerebrospinal fluid pressure during labour that may result in neurological complications, or rarely, brainstem herniation. This case report discusses a woman with hitherto undiagnosed Chiari I malformation who delivered by CS due to obstetric concerns, but remained asymptomatic throughout the preceding labour and in spite of multiple epidural insertion attempts. We discuss considerations for future pregnancies, and review the literature to challenge the view that women with Chiari I need planned caesarean or must avoid epidural/spinal analgesia; instead presenting evidence to support the safety and suitability of vaginal delivery and neuroaxial block in labouring parturients with this condition.

Neurodegeneration with Brain Iron Accumulation (NBIA) belongs to a group of disorders characterized by the predominant involvement of the basal ganglia. Patients may present psychiatric symptoms, extrapyramidal signs and cognitive decline. Few cases of this disease have been reported in Brazil. We present a typical NBIA case. This case has the classical signs and symptoms of NBIA in a woman with advanced/end-stage disease, in addition to the presence of cerebral atrophy, which is not a common finding.

The aim of this case report was to present a typical case of tuberous sclerosis. On 28 April 2012 a 8 year old female student reported as out patient of Ophthalmology Department, BSMMU, Dhaka. After taking history from the patient, ocular and systemic examinations were done. This patient had recurrent attacks of convulsion since 2 months of age and blurring of vision for 3 months. Ocular examination revealed fundus astrocytomas and patchy iris hypo-pigmentation. Systemic examination present with adenoma sebaceum. For diagnosis purpose, she was advised for investigation. CT scan of brain-Multiple cerebral calcification with bilateral multifocal cerebral atrophy. USG of whole abdomen-suggestive of cystitis. Methodical ocular and systemic examinations with appropriate investigations are mandatory to diagnose a case of tuberous sclerosis. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/jsf.v9i1-2.14648 J. Sci. Foundation, 9(1&2): 59-63, June-December 2011
