The Pathophysiology of the Transient Neonatal Tricuspid Regurgitation
Dong-Chul Park, Churl-Young Chung, Seauck-Joong Yoon
J Korean Pediatr Soc. 1997;40(8):1131-1140.   Published online August 15, 1997
Purpose : This study was carried out to evaluate the role of the septal leaflet of the tricuspid valve. The hypothesis was that the neonatal tricuspid regurgitation(TR) was related to a transient elevation of right ventricular pressure in the neonatal period, that deviated ventricular septum and pull the anchored septal leaflet of the tricuspid valve. The pulled septal leaflet created the incomplete coaptation between...

Case Reports
A Case of Unusual (1q;21q) Translocation Down Syndrome Inherited from a t(1q;21q) Balanced Carrier Mother

Down syndrome is the most common autosomal syndrome in man. The incidence of trisomy 21 due to translocation is about 3.5-5%. Translocations are usually centric fusions between a 21 and a D group (54.2%) or a G group (40.9%) chromosome. Since the short arm of 21 carries no phenotypically active genes, even if the short arm of 21 is lost, usually there is...

A Case of Neuronal Heterotopia
Jeong Hae Joo, Eun Joo Seok, Min Jeong Kim, Son Sang Seo
J Korean Pediatr Soc. 1997;40(8):1173-1177.   Published online August 15, 1997
Neuronal migrational disorders of the brain represent abnormalities in the formation of the neocortex caused by faulty migration of the subependymal neuroblasts. The neuroblasts normally migrate between the sixth and 15th gestational week and in doing so form the six-layered neocortex. When the migration does not occur in a normal fashion the resultant brain anomalies include lissencephaly, pachygyria, schizencephaly, hemimegalencephaly, heterotopia, and polymicrogyria. Neuronal heterotopia is...
