A 7 year old boy develops a fever of 39 C while playing in his front yard a Dallas summer day. He becomes limp and lethargic, prompting his mother to rush hime to the emergency room. She stats that he never seems to sweat, and that he often feels very warm on hot days. The examining physician notes that the boy has very sparse hair and under-developed, ped-shaped teeth. A possible embryologic explanation for underdevelopment of the hair, teeth, and sweat glands would be?
|
A defect in gasturlation that produces undergrowth of the ectoderm.
|
|
|
What time of embryogenesis in days after conception is the earliest at which the defect affecting the hair, teethm and sweat glands could occur?
|
Week 3

A newborn has a mass on the midline of his back, just above the sacrum. The outer layer of the mass appears translucent, with whitish-grey tissue visible beneath. The legs exhibit poor muscle tone and no withdrawal to pain. The most likely diagnosis is:
The risk of this anomaly to occur in the next pregnancy is: |
Spina bifida
3 - 5% |
|
|
A maternal dietry supplement that could lower the risk for neural tube defects is:
|
Folic Acid
|
|
|
A normal female has a term newborn with a fleshy tumor protuding from the anal area. A biopsy shows mutilple tissues including hair cartilage and teeth. The most likely explanation of the tumor is:
|
A sacrococcygeal teratoma, based on tumor location and tissues from all three germ layers.
|
|
|
An anomaly of the primitive streak such as a sacrococcygeal tumor would occur at which time in pregnancy?
|
2 - 5 days after a woman missed her period
|
|
|
An anomaly called Piebald trait presents with ventral, midline white patches of the skin and hair. The disorder exhibits autosomal dominant inheritance in humans and mice, and has been traced to mutation in the c-kit proto-oncogene. The assumption is that the c-kit gene product is important for melanoblast migration. The location of the white patch is thus due to:
|
Delayed ventral migration of neural crest cells surrounding the neural tube
|
|
|
The most accurate description of the infant shown in figure 4.8 is: (has a hole where the brain should be, no skull and large eyes)
|
Anterior neural tube defect occuring at 3 - 4 weeks post fertilzation.
