Airway management during an EXIT procedure for a fetus with dysgnathia complex

Paediatric Anaesthesia
Paul A BakerBrian J Anderson

Abstract

Nonsyndromal dysgnathia is a rare disorder with a probable genetic basis characterized by a hypoplastic or absent mandible (agnathia), microstomia, microglossia, and ear anomalies secondary to a defect in the ventral portion of the first branchial arch caused by defective neural crest migration or proliferation. Dysgnathic newborn infants often suffer fatal respiratory failure from airway obstruction. Nineteen children with isolated dysgnathia complex are described in the literature--six were stillborn, eight died shortly after birth, and only five survived infancy. All survivors required tracheostomy to maintain an airway. It is difficult to intubate the trachea of these children and early airway management planning is important. We report a neonate who presented with a prenatal ultrasound diagnosis of severe micrognathia, polyhydramnios and a family history of severe micrognathia. Airway management was achieved with fiberoptic intubation through a laryngeal mask airway (LMA) during an ex utero intrapartum treatment procedure. Fiberoptic intubation was hampered by copious amounts of amniotic fluid. This child and her sibling are the first two siblings with isolated dysgnathia complex to have survived infancy and provide furthe...Continue Reading

Birth Defects

Birth defects encompass structural and functional alterations that occur during embryonic or fetal development and are present since birth. The cause may be genetic, environmental or unknown and can result in physical and/or mental impairment. Here is the latest research on birth defects.

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.
