We report for the first time an unusual presentation of blueberry muffin lesions in a neonate born from a mother affected by severe anemia during pregnancy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Cerebral Palsy

  This is mainly because of consequences of fetal hypoxia that may lead to cerebral palsy. A fetus suffering from hypoxia initially compensates by producing energy through anaerobic metabolism. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Hunting

  Follow-up assessment included growth measures, neurological examination, Bayley Scales of Infant Development, and a modified Uzgiris and Hunt Scale. Eight children (13%) had a major deficit and 10 children (16%) had a minor deficit at 1 year. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Heart Block

  Possible causes include fetal head compression, fetal hypoxia, fetal acidosis, fetal heart block, umbilical cord compression, and late second-stage labor with maternal pushing. [learningaboutelectronics.com]

• Papule

  Neonatal blueberry muffin lesions are rare cutaneous eruptions, presenting as transient, non-blanching, red-violaceous papules, mostly localized in the trunk, head and neck, attributable to a marked dermal hematopoietic activity. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Fetal Disorder

  Four fetal behaviors were classified by the actocardiograms. Five numeric actocardiographic parameters were evaluated. Fetal outcomes were studied with actocardiograms of central nervous system lesion and common fetal disorders. [omicsonline.org]

• Neonatal Seizures

  When compared with intermittent auscultation of FHR, continuous electronic FHR monitoring is associated with a reduction in the risk of neonatal seizures at the expense of an increased risk of cesarean delivery9, Irrespective of the method used to analyze [ispub.com]

  However, this current strategy fails to recognize as many as 85% of growth restricted fetuses and although intrapartum monitoring has reduced the incidence of neonatal seizures, the rates of cerebral palsy and neonatal death have not decreased since its [journals.plos.org]

• Motor Disturbances

  Despite the enormous impact of CP, there is no animal model that reproduces the hypertonia and motor disturbances of this disorder. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Usually the diagnostic workup is initiated based on the risk factors of the pregnant mother and the presenting signs and symptoms. [xpertdox.com]

• Base Deficit

  There were poor correlations between hypoxanthine concentrations and those of hydrogen ion, base deficit and lactate. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  If there is a base deficit of 12 mmol/L or above, this suggests metabolic acidosis. [abclawcenters.com]

Animal studies have suggested the possibility of prophylactic treatment to prevent neuronal loss after the hypoxic event. Intrapartum diagnostic tools should aim for detecting fetal hypoxemia/hypoxia when the fetus is still compensated. [journals.lww.com]

Maternal vitamin C (antioxidant) treatment can ameliorate fetal vasoconstriction in hypoxic pregnancies, and therefore has the potential to improve outcomes. [anzsnasm.com]
