Gastroschisis has been associated with multiple risk factors but its pathogenesis remains unknown. There are theories that it is due to a vascular insult, with known associations of young maternal age, cigarette smoking, and illicit drug use.1,2 The incidence of gastroschisis is ~5 per 10,000 live births, and may be increasing.3 Left-sided gastroschisis is even rarer with only 18 reports found in our review of the literature. Septo-optic dysplasia (SOD) is a heterogeneous clinical disorder characterized by a combination of optic nerve hypoplasia, pituitary hormone abnormalities and midline brain defects. The incidence of SOD is not certain, but reported to likely be ~1 per 10,000 livebirths.4 These two seemingly unrelated congenital anomalies have several features in common. While the incidence of most congenital anomalies is directly correlated with maternal age, both of these anomalies are more common in younger mothers.1,5–7 They are also both postulated to be related to an insult around the 6th week of gestation.1,5–7 Co-occurrence of gastroschisis and septo-optic dysplasia has been reported 4 times, with the gastroschisis on the left side in one case.

At a later time, “stored” data is transmitted securely (“forwarded”) and studied by relevant specialists who then responds with their opinion and recommendations.1,4 Prior studies have demonstrated how this method increases patient access to tertiary care centers by overcoming geographical barriers.5 There are currently several applications of telemedicine within the field of pediatric cardiology focused on discriminating between pathologic and benign murmurs and arrhythmias in children.6,7 Studies have estimated that 80% of children will develop a murmur in their lifetime and less than 1% of these murmurs being pathologic.8 Several electronic stethoscopes can accurately detect the difference between a benign and pathologic murmur with great sensitivity and specificity (95%, 96%, respectively), but the feasibility of it in practice remains in question.8,9 However, it is unknown if general practitioners would be willing to use this new form of communication.
