Suk Hwan HAN ; Tae Hee KIM ; Na Mi LEE ; Jae Kyun KIM ; She Young LEE

Korean Journal of Perinatology.2014;25(4):307-310. doi:10.14734/kjp.2014.25.4.307

Glial choristoma is a mass-like lesion composed of otherwise normal, mature brain tissue that is isolated from the spinal cord and cranial cavity. In generally, this choristoma involves extracranial midline structures, especially the nose, as well as the nasopharynx, oropharynx and cleft. Glial choristomas rarely involve extracranial non-midline structures such as the scalp, orbit, middle ear or mastoid and account for approximately 10% of all glial choristomas. Moreover, such glial choristoma presentations are usually seen in adults, most of whom have predisposing factors such as trauma, surgery, or chronic inflammation. Here, we present a case of a glial choristoma that invaded a neonate's the nasopharynx, oropharynx, oral cavity and orbit.

Korean Journal of Perinatology.2014;25(4):302-306. doi:10.14734/kjp.2014.25.4.302

Most of the gastric outlet obstruction symptoms like vomiting and abdominal distension were caused by congenital anatomical abnormality in a neonate. Abnormal structures associated with congenital gastric outlet obstruction have been categorized by its site and extent of obstruction. We report one case of persisting vomiting in a premature infant caused by serosal fibrous band in gastric outlet lesion, excluded from the category of congenital gastric outlet obstruction.

Korean Journal of Perinatology.1998;9(2):180-184.

It is commonly believed that the branchial anomalies are persistent remnants of the embryologic branchial apparatus. These anomalies are originated from branchial cleft and most commonly involved in second branchial deft. Clinically they present palpable mass, discharge from fistula, recurrent infection due to obstruction of Gstula tract. As respiratory symptoms, they may present hoarseness, preceeded by or associated with upper respiratory infection. However, it has not been reported that they caused airway obstruction in newborn infants. Wc experienced a case of the fourth branchial deft cyst in a 2 day old infant who showed respiratory difficulty due to airway obstruction.

Korean Journal of Perinatology.1998;9(2):175-179.

Congenital dislocation of the knee is very rare skeletal deformity and was firstly described by Chatelaine in 1822. Since then there have been a few number of case reports and some series discussing the etiology and treatment. The tibia is displaced anteriorly in relation to the femur. It is generally subdassified as simple hyperextention, subluxation, and dislocation depending on the degree of the joint displacement and the severity of disease. Early gentle manipulation and serial splintage or plaster cast are recommended for treatment and were successful in the majority except the case of quadriceps contrarture or late correction. The authors experienced one case of congenital dislocation of the right knee and brief review of the related literatures was made.

Korean Journal of Perinatology.1998;9(2):171-174.

Endometriosis in the abdominal wall following Cesarean section is one of the very rare condition among the extrapelvic endometriosis. Although benign, endometriosis possesses the unique ability to invade tissue and to disseminate or metastasize by hematogeneous, lymphatic route, or direct implantation. We reported the case with brief review of the literature.

A Clinical Study of Twin Pregnancies with One Fetal Demise.

Jung Lae SEO ; Young Suk KIM

Korean Journal of Perinatology.1998;9(2):165-170.

One fetal demise of twin pregnancy in the second or third trimester is an unusual and difficult problem in the managemcnt of pregnancy. It can be associated with an increased risk for mortality and morbidity in the remaining fetus and with maternal DIC. 255 twin gestations were delivered at our hospital between December 1984 and August 1998. 8 cases of twin pregnancies with one fetal demise were observed. We reviewed 8 cases of twin pregnancies with one fetal demise that had been managed conservatively. The incidence of twin pregnancies with one fetal demise was 3.14% in the study population. The incidence of preterm delivery was 87.5%. The perinatal mortality rate of surviving twins was 25%. There were no cases of maternal disseminated intravascular coagulation or infection. There were no cases of neurologic damages in the surviving twins. The main cause of neonatal death was prematurity. An expectant approach to the twin pregnancies with one fetal demise seems reasonable.

Korean Journal of Perinatology.1998;9(2):159-164.

OBJECTIVE: Our purpose was to establish whether FHR recording tape and telemetry system at home interpreted by remote telemedicine link is comparable to interpretation at hospital in a high-risk patient population. Patients and METHODS: Twenty women whose pregnancy was suspected as high risk were entered to study. All pregnancies were at term(7 at 38th weeks, 7 at 39th weeks, 6 at 40th weeks). Remote FHR monitoring at hospital was made for consecutive 6 days, using FHR-telemetry system at home which already developed and used by authors from 1991. Patients recorded FHR sound using recording tape for 5 days. On the 5th day, real-time transmitting of FHR sound to the hospital was also done via telephone lines after recording of FHR sound. On the 6th day, FHR test(NST) was performed at hospital. The signal loss(%), baseline FHR(bpm), and FHR variability were compared using computerized FHR analysis system(HYFM-I) after re-play of 5-days recording tapes at hospital with real-time transmitting data and in-hospital FHR test results. RESULTS: The signal loss was highest with real-time transmiting data when comparing with in-hospital FHR analysis. No significant differences were observed among 5-days data of FHR recording tapes. CONCLUSIONS: Frequent antenatal visit of high-risk pregnancy patients were in diHuities of their pregnancy outcomes. And many rural areas of our country are without adequate access to basic maternity services. From this point of view, a fetal telemedicine service is needed, and in fact, technically and clinically feasible. Our demonstration suggests that such a service reduces the need for hospital visit of high risk pregnancy women. Further evaluation in a variety of clinical settings is now indicated, along with cost-benefit analysis.

Korean Journal of Perinatology.1998;9(2):152-158.

BACKGROUND: Chlamydia trachomatis is most common sexually transmitted pathogen in the world, and a common cause of urethritis and cervicitis. Also it is common cause of preterm premature rupture of membranes and premature labor in pregnant women, and pneumonitis and conjunctivitis in neonate. A rapid and sensitive polymerase chain reaction(PCR)-based assay for detection of C. trachomatis is recently introduced. OBJECTIVES: We studied to determine whether a PCR assay is useful to detect Chlamydial infection in pregnant women. We also studied to compare its prevalence rate according to maternal age, trimester and parity, respectively. Study Design: Specimens were collected from 149 pregnant women by transcervical swab or endocervical lavage. If a specific band was detected in PCR assay, we considered as Chlamydial infection. RESULTS: In general, the positive bands were detected in the 45 of 149 pregnant women(30.2%). The positive bands were detected the 6 of 55(10.9%), 16 of 49(32.7%), and 23 of 45(51.1%) pregnant women in each trimester, respectively. Therefore, there was significantly increased according to the gestational age(p<0.05). However, there were not significantly different according to maternal age and parity(p> 0.05). CONCLUSION: We concluded that the PCR assay is a fast and useful test for the detection of C. trachomatis in transcevical cells from the pregnant women. This study suggested that Chlamydial infection seems to be increased according to the gestational age.
