Background: Cholestasis in extremely premature infants (EPI) constitutes a nutritional challenge and maltodextrins have been reported as a possible strategy for hypoglycaemia. We aim to describe the nutritional management of an EPI with non-syndromic bile duct paucity (NSBDP) and feeding intolerance.
Case Presentation: A patient, born at 27 weeks of gestational age, presented cholestatic jaundice at 20 days of life with a clinical picture of NSBDP.
Background: Adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes and MRI alterations are reported in infants born after fetal growth restriction (FGR). This study evaluates the additional role of FGR over prematurity in determining brain impairment.
Methods: Retrospective observational study comparing 48 FGR and 36 appropriate for gestational age infants born between 26 and 32 weeks' gestation who underwent a cerebral MRI at term equivalent age.
