Clin Exp Pediatr. 2001;44(12):1469-1474.   Published online December 15, 2001
Infantile hemangioendothelioma(IHE) of the liver is a rare benign vascular tumor that presents most commonly in infants before the age of 6 months. IHE presents as abdominal mass, cutaneous hemangiomas, unexplained jaundice, bleeding disorders, or congestive heart failure. Death often results from congestive heart failure despite appropriate treatment with digoxin and diuretics. IHE also is associated with Kasabach-Merritt syndrome, anemia,...

Hyoung Sik Oh, Sang Hee Kim, Gil Hyun Kim, Hak Soo Lee, Il Hwan Jang, Ji Hae Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2001;44(1):99-102.   Published online January 15, 2001
The cause of congenital nasal pyriform aperture stenosis is unclear. The development of the facial skeleton occurs between the fifth and the eighth week of gestation. It is at this stage that the stenosis occurs due to overgrowth of the ossification of the maxilla. Infants are obligate nasal breathers. Incomplete and milder forms of nasal airway obstruction may be present...
A Case of Candida Endocarditis with Vegetation on the Tricuspid Valve in a Preterm Infant
Hye Young Han, Mi Jin Jung, Kwang Hoon Lee, Gil Hyun Kim, Hak Soo Lee, Guk Yang Park, Young Ha Oh
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2000;43(6):832-836.   Published online June 15, 2000
Fungal endocarditis is a rare disease in infants, but it has been reported with increasing frequency among premature infants requiring neonatal intensive care. Congenital heart disease, prolonged intravenous catheterization, the use of intravenous alimentation, broad-spectrum antibiotics administration and narcotic addiction are risk factors. Candida endocarditis is an unusual but severe complication of systemic candidiasis. Its occurrence has been related to...
A Case of Saldino-Noonan Type Short Rib-Polydactyly Syndrome

Short rib-polydactyly syndrome(SRPS) is a rare type of skeletal dysplasia characterized by short limb dysplasia, thoracic hypoplasia, polydactyly and multiple visceral anomalies. It is transmitted as a autosomal recessive trait. There have been 4 classic types of SRPS, of which Saldino-Noonan type is the most common, and is characterized by very narrow thorax, short limb, postaxial polydactyly, striking metaphyseal dysplasia...

A Case of Unilateral Diaphragmatic Paralysis with Brachial Plexus Palsy in the Neonate
Hae Joong Yoon, Kyeung Ho Park, Sang Hee Kim, Kye Whan Seul, Gil Hyun Kim, Hak Soo Lee, Chang Young Lim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1998;41(4):553-557.   Published online April 15, 1998
The diaphragm is especially important in sustaining minute ventilation in the neonate. Consequently, diaphragmatic paralysis is not tolerated well by the neonate and often results in prolonged respiratory failure. We experienced a case of unilateral diaphragmatic paralysis with the brachial plexus palsy in a male newborn infant who presented with apnea and cyanosis due to birth asphyxia. After endotracheal intubation, mechanical ventilaton was started....
Magnetic Resonance Angiography in One Case of Hydraencephaly
Eun Kyung Hwang, Kang Ho Cho, Gwang Hoon Lee, Gil Hyun Kim, Hak Soo Lee, Ji Hye Kim, Young Seok Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1998;41(4):538-542.   Published online April 15, 1998
In hydranencephaly, the cerebral hemispheres are absent or represented by membranous sacs with remnants of frontal, temporal or occipital cortex dispersed over the membrane. The brain stem is relatively intact. The cause of hydranencephaly is unknown, but bilateral occlusion of the internal carotid arteries during early fetal development can explain most of the pathologic abnormalities. We evaluated a case of hydranencephaly by magnetic resonance(MR)...

Clin Exp Pediatr. 1995;38(8):1046-1053.   Published online August 15, 1995
Purpose : Recurrent apnea of prematurity is a very common and troublesome problem despite treatment with aminophylline, and is often associated with a poor developmental outcome. Recently doxapram, a potent respiratory stimulant in adults, has been used to overcome idiopathic apnea of prematurity. This study was to evaluate the efficacy, safety and optimal dosage of doxapram in idiopathic apnea refractory to aminophylline. Methods...

Meconium peritonitis is an aseptic peritonitis caused by spill of meconium in the abdominal cavity through discontinuation of the intestine by any cause, which have taken place during intrauterine or perinatal life. We experienced a case of meconium peritonitis in an 1-day-old male neonate who had the chief complaint of dyspnea and abdominal distension. The review of the literature was made briefly.
