A Previously Healthy Premature Infant Treated With Thrombolytic Therapy for Life-threatening Pulmonary Artery Thrombosis

Pulmonary artery thrombosis is rarely reported in preterm neonates. Although treatment of neonatal thrombosis remains controversial, thrombolytic agents must be considered when the thrombosis is life threatening. We herein present a case of a preterm newborn with pulmonary artery thrombosis accompanied by acute-onset respiratory failure and cyanotic congenital heart disease. The thrombosis was successfully treated using tissue plasminogen activator. In conclusion, the thrombolytic therapy should be considered in treatment of patients in whom the thrombosis completely occludes the pulmonary arteries

Nasal glioma in an extremely low birth ınfant: A case report

Nöroglial heterotopiler nadir görülen konjenital kitlelerdir. Nazal heterotopiler nazal glial heterotopi veya nazal gliom olarak adlandırılır. Ayırıcı tanıda hemanjiom, dermoid / epidermoid kistler, ensefalosel ve tümörler bulunmaktadır. Cerrahi eksizyon tedavi seçeneğidir. Burada literatürde ilk kez tanımlanan çok düşük doğum ağırlıklı bebekte nazal gliom sunulmuştur.Neuroglial heterotopias are rare congenital masses. Nasal heterotopies are termed as nasal glial heterotopia or nasal glioma. The differential diagnosis includes hemangioma, dermoid/epidermoid cysts, encephalocel and tumors. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice. We report an extremely low birth weight infant with nasal glioma as firts time in the literature
