    Clinical and cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of 21 patients with serious hyperbilirubinemia
    (Sage Publications Inc, 2008) Katar, Selahattin; Akay, Hatice Ozturkmen; Taskesen, Mustafa; Devecioglu, Celal
    This study aims to compare neurological examination and cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in patients with serious hyperbilirubinemia. Twenty-one serious hyperbiluribinemic term neonates (6 girls, 15 boys) who underwent exchange transfusions were included in the study. Neurological examination findings, body weight, age at admission, blood culture, urine culture, urine analysis, C-reactive protein, thyroxine, thyroid-stimulating hormone, total and indirect bilirubin levels, causes of hyperbilirubinemia (blood group typing, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, blood smear, tandem mass), treatment and duration of follow-up, auditory test results, and cranial MRI findings were evaluated. All patients were term neonates with an average body weight of 2943 +/- 533 g. The mean age at admission was 4.47 +/- 2.22 days, and the mean bilirubin level was 35.0 +/- 10.8 mg/dL. Exchange transfusion was performed once in all, except 4 patients who needed 2 transfusions. Kernicterus findings were found in 76% of patients on neurological examination, and cranial MRI detected a pathological finding in 71% of patients. In 2 patients, cranial MRI showed kernicterus findings, despite normal neurological examination. In contrast, in 3 patients, despite kernicterus findings in neurological examination, cranial MRI was normal. Although cranial MRI has an important place in the diagnosis of kernicterus, it does not always correlate with clinical findings. We believe that studies with larger series are warranted.

    A rare cause of hyperbilirubinemia in a newborn: bilateral adrenal hematoma
    (Turkish J Pediatrics, 2008) Katar, Selahattin; Oeztuerkmen-Akay, Hatice; Devecioglu, Celal; Taskesen, Mustafa
    Hyperbilirubinemia is an important health problem in newborns. The most common causes are Rh and ABO incompatibility, hemolytic anemias, enzyme deficiencies, sepsis, hypothyroidism, pyloric stenosis and breast-milk jaundice. Adrenal hemorrhage is a rare cause of hyperbilirubinemia in the neonate. We present a six-day-old newborn with hyperbilirubinemia and suprarenal hematoma who was born at home without assistance of healthcare personnel. Adrenal hematoma should also be considered in the differential diagnosis of hyperbilirubinemia, particularly in newborns that experienced a difficult delivery.

    Symptomatic spontaneous pneumothorax in term newborns
    (Springer, 2006) Katar, Selahattin; Devecioglu, Celal; Kervancioglu, Mehmet; Uelkue, Refik
    The causes and risk factors of symptomatic spontaneous pneumothorax in term newborns are not completely understood. In the present study, our aim was to investigate the risk factors for and clinical and laboratory characteristics of term newborns with spontaneous symptomatic pneumothorax and to evaluate the outcome of management in this condition. A total of 11 term newborns admitted to the newborn intensive care unit with a diagnosis of symptomatic spontaneous pneumothorax were included during a 22-month period. Female to male ratio was 4:7, mean gestational age was 39.5 weeks, and 63% were delivered with a cesarean section, 18% of patients had renal and 55% had congenital cardiac anomalies. Rate of cardiac anomalies was more frequent in the study group compared to control group. Echocardiography in addition to renal ultrasonography may also be needed in term newborns with spontaneous symptomatic pneumothorax and further studies may be warranted to evaluate this association.
