Case presentation We present a case of a 32 years old primigravida pregnant woman affected by Holt-Oram syndrome referred to our institution for second trimester routine anatomy scan. The ultrasound reported a bilateral aplasia radii, slightly curved ulna and bilateral twisted hand with four digital rays. A significant enlargement of the right atrium without tricuspid regurgitation was also detected. The patient refused the amniocentesis and the postnatal evaluation confirmed the diagnosis of Holt-Oram syndrome. Conclusions Holt-Oram syndrome is an autosomal dominant genetic condition. It is characterized by abnormalities in the bones of the upper limb and congenital heart malformation. The mutation can be inherited, but most cases result from a new mutation in patients without family history of the disorder.","PeriodicalId":9617,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Perinatal Medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82602366","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methemoglobinemia in the neonatal period is very rare and when present is usually caused by environmental toxicity from strong oxidizing agents and rarely due to enzyme deficiency or inherited disorders of hemoglobin metabolism. Case presentation We report a newborn baby presented with cyanosis and desaturation right from birth, later found to have methemoglobinemia and started medication. Genetic evaluation revealed a mutation in the gamma chain of fetal haemoglobin (HbF) causing abnormal hemoglobin. Physiologically significant mutations in gamma-globin genes cause symptoms in the fetus and neonate that gradually abate in the first few months of life. Conclusions Genetic evaluation is advisable in babies with unexplained methemoglobinemia as the prognosis of the condition depends on the underlying mutation. Early diagnosis of methemoglobinemia due to gamma chain mutation in HbF as in our case helps in reassuring the parents and also in preventing unnecessary aggressive investigations.","PeriodicalId":9617,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Perinatal Medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78933814","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Prevention of recurrence includes intravenous immunoglobulin. One challenge in pregnancy surveillance remains the fact that maternal intravenous immunoglobulins therapy can result in false-positive infectious markers. The goal of this case report is to highlight the possible serological misdiagnosed infection associated with intravenous immunoglobulins therapy in pregnancy, and the difficulty of management in this time of a women’s life. Case presentation We report a case of a 38-year-old pregnant woman, with a previous affected child with fetal neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia. To prevent recurrence, intravenous immunoglobulin treatment was administered in early second trimester. In the second trimester routine analysis, a positive anti-treponemal test and a toxoplasmosis seroconversion occurred. Infection suspicion based on test positivity of some infectious agents, after passive acquired antibodies, can lead to anxiety and subsequent unnecessary treatment. Conclusions Clinicians and pathologists must be aware of the possible acquisition of these antibodies during treatment and be able to counsel patients receiving intravenous immunoglobulin. Managing possible infectious intercurrences in pregnancy remains a challenge.","PeriodicalId":9617,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Perinatal Medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76867659","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Differences in acute uterine inversion following a vaginal delivery and a cesarean section are also discussed along with the management of acute uterine inversion, emphasizing the need for a rapid diagnosis and management. Case presentation Three such cases of acute uterine inversion – two after vaginal delivery (one second-degree inversion and one third degree inversion) and one during cesarean section have been discussed along with their management. Conclusions Uterine inversion is a potentially life-threatening complication which can be prevented by active and careful management of third stage of labor and avoiding cord traction prior to development of the signs of placental separation. Early stages of uterine inversion may be confused with a prolapsed fibroid or a cervical polyp. Prompt management can avert maternal mortality and morbidity.","PeriodicalId":9617,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Perinatal Medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85025348","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Newborns are at risk of life-threatening conditions due to enteroviral infections. In newborns, the infection can be transmitted vertically, intrapartum or postpartum, and potentially through breast milk. Neonatal sepsis may result in severe complications, such as liver failure and pulmonary hemorrhage, with subsequent death. Case presentation A male newborn was admitted to the emergency department with fever, generalized hypotonia, hypo-reactivity to external stimuli, multiple episodes of apnea and desaturation, and metabolic acidosis. Laboratory studies revealed disseminated intravascular coagulation, and evidence of progressive multiorgan failure. Polymerase chain reaction performed on specimens collected at the time of admission returned positive for Enterovirus, specifically Coxsackievirus B3 VP1 gene. The patient eventually succumbed after several days due to severe sepsis, despite aggressive treatment with immunoglobulins and Pleconaril. An autopsy revealed hemorrhage in the lung, liver, heart, and gastric mucosa. Conclusions Enteroviral neonatal infections should be included in the differential diagnosis of a newborn presenting with fever, failure to thrive, and hyporeactivity, especially if symptoms arise during the classic CVB3 season. Maternal medical history should be reviewed for any possible febrile symptoms associated with a recent enterovirus infection. Aggressive treatment with immunoglobulins and, if available, Pleconaril could effectively treat the infection.","PeriodicalId":9617,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Perinatal Medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90988593","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Bilateral renal agenesis is a severe presentation of the CAKUT spectrum. Case presentation We report on two families who presented with recurrent pregnancies affected with bilateral renal agenesis and negative family histories. Likely pathogenic variants in the GREB1L gene were identified in the affected pregnancies and subsequently in their asymptomatic fathers. The first familial variant was identified by a multi-gene CAKUT panel and the second by whole exome sequencing. Renal ultrasound showed the father in family 1 had asymptomatic unilateral pelvic kidney and the father in family 2 had no apparent renal anomalies. Conclusions Recent identification of genes responsible for CAKUT allows for genetic testing of affected families. Identification of the genetic etiology of CAKUT cases has multiple benefits including accurate risk assessment and reproductive options.

CD is now found in areas receiving migrant populations where no vector-borne transmission occurs. Chagasic cardiomyopathy (CC) is the most serious complication of the chronic phase of CD and the major cause of morbidity and mortality among patients with CD. Case presentation Bolivian woman at 38 weeks of gestation was admitted at the emergency room with the diagnosis of congestive heart failure. Cesarean section was performed and maternal hypotension and uterine atony occurred. Dilated myocardiopathy with severe left ventricle dysfunction was diagnosed. The patient referred positive serology for T. cruzi and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was positive so benznidazole therapy was started. She was discharged due to progressive improvement with cardiological treatment and implantable cardioverter defibrillator was placed 5 years later for the prevention of sudden cardiac death. Conclusions The diagnosis of CC in non-endemic areas requires a high index of suspicion and it is based on serology. Antiparasitic drugs are almost 100% effective in infected newborn babies and highly effective in the treatment of patients in the acute stage of the disease. However, the efficacy of both drugs decreases the longer a person has been infected. Treatment of CC that causes chronic heart failure is similar to that in non-Chagasic etiology.","PeriodicalId":9617,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Perinatal Medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91333896","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
