Abstract

To evaluate the incidence, severity and duration of systemic hypertension in infants born with giant omphalocele (GO). A retrospective review of patients born from 2003 through 2013 with a GO or intestinal atresia (control population) and managed at a single institution was performed. The hospital course was reviewed including all blood pressures, method of omphalocele repair, requirement for antihypertensive medications and renal function. Forty-five GO and 20 control patients met criteria for the study. Thirty-three GO patients underwent Schuster repair and 12 GO patients underwent delayed repair after epithelialization. Overall, 78% of GO patients had episodes of hypertension (82% Schuster and 67% delayed repair) compared to 15% of control patients (P<0.001). The majority of episodes were transient and occurred in the postoperative period (97%). Hypertension was persistent in 4 GO patients. These patients required antihypertensive medication at discharge, which was discontinued as an outpatient. No patient demonstrated significant evidence of renal abnormalities as indicated by renal ultrasound, urinalysis and/or serum creatinine level at the time of hypertension. Episodes of systemic hypertension are frequent in patients wi...Continue Reading
