11p deletion syndrome
Wilms tumor
Aniridia
Genitourinary abnormalities
Range of developmental delays
Hemophilia coagulation test presents with
Prolonged PTT
Normal PT
Normal platelet count
Acrocyanosis
A benign form of peripheral cyanosis
Wilson Disease
AR mutation ATP7B
Hepatic Cooper accumulation
Leak from damaged hepatocytes
Deposits in tissues (basal ganglia cornea)
Wilson D
Clinical findings
Hepatic (acute liver failure, chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis)
Neurologic (Parkinsonism, gait disturbance, disarthria)
Psychiatric ( depression, personality changes, psychosis)
Wilson D
Dx
⬇️ Ceruloplamin
⬆️ Urinary Cooper excretion
⬆️ Cooper content on liver Bx
Kayser - fleischer rings on still lamp examination
Wilson D
Tx
Chelators
D - Penicillamine; trientine
Zinc ( interfering with cooper absorption
Tracheoesophagel Fistula (TEF)
With Esophageal Atresia (EA)
Dx with
Resistance of nasogastric tube advancement beyond the proximal esophagus.
TEF & EA
Typically occurs with VACTERL Assoc
(Vertebral, Anal, Cardiac, TEF, Renal and or Limb anomalies
✨all patients who have TEF with EA should undergo screening echocardiography & renal ultrasonography.
Chickenpox
Varicela
Phenotypes
👉🏽DiGeorge syndrome
👉🏽 Velocardiofacial Syndrome
Loss of genes that control embryonic tissue template transformation (pharyngeal apparatus, Secondary heart field) and migration of neural crest cells
Disgorge Syndrome
Clinical features
CATCH
Cardiac outflow tract anomalies (tetralogy of fallot, Persistent Truncus Arteriosus)
Anomalous face ( prominent nasal bridge, low set of ears, micro/retrognatia)
Tonic hypoplasia/aplasia 👉🏽 Decrease Tcell immunity
Cleft palate
Hypoparathyroidism ( hypoplastic/aplastic parathyroids) Hypocalcemia
Howell-Jolly bodies will be an expected finding on peripheral smear
Small purple dots with in the red blood cell
Sickel cell
Due to functional asplenia
Howell - Jolly bodies are nuclear remnants of red blood cells that are usually removed by a functional spleen.
Helmet cells or schistocytosis
Fragmented RBC
Suggest traumatic microangi
opathathic
Hemolytic conditions such us
DIC
Uremic syndrome
TTP
🤭not typically seen in SCD as this hemolysis is intrinsic, not traumatic
Heinz cells,
Bite cells
Heinz bodies
Which appear as small inclusions within in erythrocyte, are aggregates of denatured hemoglobin and are commonly seen in patients with hemolysis due to
G6PD & Thalassemia
When phagocytes extract this rigid precipitate they form characteristic bite cells.
Basophilic stippling
Ribosomal precipitate that appear as blue granules of various sizes dispersed throughout the cytoplasm of red blood cells
Seen
Thalassemia
Lead or heavy metal poisoning
TACO
Transfusion Associated circulatory overload
Reaction when large volume of blood is transfused leading to fluid overload
Patient with chronic or renal disorders,children age <3 and pt >60 with chronic anemia are at increased risk
👉🏽toddlers with severe chronic iron deficiency anemia due to excessive milk consumption >24 oz/day and poor intake of iron reach food are susceptible to TACO
