A newborn develops jaundice that increases over the first week. Most of the bilirubin is indirect, and the red blood count is normal without signs of antibody reaction. The fater is blood type O positive and the mother blood type O negative. Mother recalls receiving a shot early in pregnancy "because of bad blood." The child has a tense abdomen with an enlarged liver, blood in the stool, and abdominal x-ray shows dilated loops of small intestine. The most likely diagnosis is:
|
Intestinal malrotation
|
|
The internal capsule develops from a swelling on the floor of the cerebral hemispheres called the:
|
Corpus striatum
|
|
A large birth weight infant born to a mother with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. There is a heart defect, small jaw and malformed ear on the left. The most urgent laboratory investigation would be:
|
Blood sugar
|
|
Neuroblasts in the spinal cord form the:
|
Ventral nerve roots
|
|

|
A female neonate develops respiratory distress soon after birth. She has a full head of hair, well-developed ears, excellent muscle tone and reflexes. There is a lound systolic heart murmur heard all over the precordium.
|
Patent ductus arteriosus
|
|
Maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein (MSAFP)
|
Couple of British ancestry
|
|
Maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein (MSAFP)
|
12-16 weeks

|
A newborn has decrease muscle tone with a frog-leg posture, ears incompletely separated from the scalp, and undescended testes. He is normal after birth, but develops respiratory distress after four hours. Chest x-ray shows a homogenous, hazy infiltrate throughout the lung fields.
|
Decreased lung surfactant
|
|
Possible fetal neural tube defect
|
5.5 multiples of the mean (MOM) for getational age by ultrasound of 15 1/2 weeks
|
|
A newborn fails to breath at delivery and must be resuscitated. She is born after a long and difficult labor, with concerns about decreased oxygenation as manifest by slowing of her heart beat on the fetal monitor. The amniotic fluid is dark green at delivery. She develops severe respiratory distress, and a chest x-ray shows a fluffy infiltrate in her right lower lobe.
|
Meconium aspiration
|
|
A newborn develops jaundice that reaches a peak value at 3 days. All of the bilirubin is indirect, and the red blood count is normal without signs of antibody reaction. The father and mother both have blood type O negative. The most likely diagnosis is:
|
Physiologic jaundice of the newborn
|
|
Normal karyotype; amniotic alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) level uninterpretable unless correlated with population mean and gestational age.
|
Amniotic alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) concentration of 30 ng/mL; karyotype 46, XY
|
|
A 2-month old child presents with irritability, frequent crying, and poor sleep. The initial diagnosis was colic, but you note an enlarged globe that is tense and painful on the right. The correct diagnosis is:
|
YO MAMA! J/K
Congenital glaucoma with buphthalmos on the right |
|
Cordocentesis
|
Fetal anomalies detected by ultrasound at 26 weeks' gestation
|
|
A newborn develops jaundice that reaches a peak value at 3 days. All of the bilirubin is indirect, and the red blood count is slightly decreased with antibody detected on their surface. The father is blood type A negative and the mother blood type O negative. The most likely diagnosis is:
|
ABO blood group incompatibility
|
|
