Urological comorbidities in sacrococcygeal teratoma: Prenatal diagnosis, perioperative management, and clinical outcomes within a centralized care model

Rebecca Pulvirenti, Laura Valfrè, Ida Barretta, Noemi Deanesi et autres

Background: Sacrococcygeal teratoma (SCT) is a rare neonatal tumor that typically requires early surgical intervention. Advances in prenatal imaging have improved early detection, yet data on long-term urinary outcomes remain scarce. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate functional outcomes in patients with …

Prenatal ultrasound diagnosis, intrauterine monitoring and postnatal management of a giant fetal abdominopelvic lymphangioma: a case report and scoping review

Matteo Giudice, Milena Viggiano, Chiara Vassallo, Alice Novak et autres

Background: Fetal lymphangioma is a rare congenital malformation, generally isolated and clinically asymptomatic, except when it invades adjacent tissues, causing compression-related symptoms. Objectives: To present a rare case of a giant fetal abdominopelvic lymphangioma and to perform, to our knowledge, the first …

Two Rare Cases of Bilateral Diaphragmatic Paralysis in Neonates

Sara Ronci, Chiara Maddaloni, Stefano Caoci, Stefano PRO et autres

Diaphragmatic paralysis (DP) in neonates is a rare yet potentially life-threatening cause of respiratory distress, often resulting from obstetric trauma or cardiac surgery. This report presents two distinct cases of bilateral DP: one following a dystocic delivery with associated brachial plexus involvement, …

Lymphocytes and immunoglobulins in peripheral blood and lymphatic fluid of neonates with chylothorax

Domenico Umberto De Rose, Francesca Landolfo, Flaminia Pugnaloni, Fatima Zahra Gassabi et autres

Background: Neonatal chylothorax is associated with high morbidity and mortality, partly due to increased infection risk from lymphocyte depletion and hypogammaglobulinemia. However, data specific to chylothorax cohorts are limited. This study aimed to investigate lymphocyte subsets and immunoglobulin levels in neonates with …

Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia and Joint Laxity: A Putative Link with Heritable Connective Tissue Disorders

Alessandra Di Pede, Monia Magliozzi, Laura Valfrè, Maria Lisa Dentici et autres

Background/Objectives: The etiology of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) remains unknown in over 50% of cases, although multiple heterogeneous causative defects have been identified. Emerging evidence suggests that specific genes and molecular pathways involved in connective tissue biology may contribute to CDH development. …
