“…This was found to be the most common birth injury in our hospital. This finding is in agreement with other series on birth injuries [1,8,[13][14][15][16]. But this finding is at variance with some other studies on birth injuries [7,[11][12].…”

Background: Birth injury is defined as structural damage of a newborn secondary to mechanical forces that occur during labor and/or delivery. This study determined the incidence, risk factors and outcome of birth injury. Methodology: This was an observational study of birth injuries in neonates, over a period of one year, carried out at a tertiary hospital in Enugu, south east, Nigeria. Results: Out of the 1,735 births recorded during the period of the study, there were 19 cases of birth injuries. This gave an incidence of 11 per 1000 live births. No neonate had more than one injury. They were thirteen males and six females that sustained birth injury. Cephalohematoma was the most common birth injury. Others are caput succedaneum, clavicular fracture, Erb's palsy, femoral fracture, humeral fracture, shoulder dislocation and facial laceration. Mode of delivery, neonatal birth weight, gestational age and maternal parity were significant predictive risk factors for birth injury. Conclusion: In the current study, cephalohematoma was the most common birth injury, followed by caput succedaneum. There is need to reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with birth injuries.

“…In our study, the most common birth injury seen was birth asphyxia 46.4%. In relation to maternal age majority of the birth injuries were noted in mothers between 21-25 age group, Similar results were seen in study of Bhalla et al 8 . If the mother is young, the birth canal will be rigid hence occurrence of birth injuries can be expected more 8 .…”

In our study, out of 900 deliveries 861 were normal vertex presentation, among 861 only 85 babies (9.87% ) were have birth injuries, whereas 39 deliveries were abnormal presentation with 14 babies (35.89%) were have birth injuries.…”

Pyridoxine-dependent seizures, clinical and therapeutic aspects

1991

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Pyridoxine-dependency is a rare autosomal recessive disorder causing a severe seizure disorder of prenatal or neonatal onset, psychomotor retardation and death in untreated patients. Treatment requires life-long supplementation with pyridoxine (vitamin B6). The underlying defect is unknown, and there is no biological marker for the disease. Clinical diagnosis is often delayed and severe neurological sequelae are common. This article summarizes both clinical and therapeutic aspects.
