Article Synopsis
- A study aimed to determine the best treatment for meconium-related ileus (MRI) in very-low-birth-weight infants (VLBWs) was conducted, analyzing 42 cases from 2009 to 2019.
- Two groups of infants were formed based on the regurgitation of Gastrografin during enema treatment: Group A, where regurgitation occurred and all infants excreted meconium without needing surgery, and Group B, where regurgitation did not occur, leading to a higher rate of surgeries.
- The findings suggest that early therapeutic diagnosis using Gastrografin enemas, followed by surgical intervention when necessary, is the optimal approach for treating MRI in VLBWs.
We report the features of neuroimaging within 24 hours after birth in 2 siblings with molybdenum cofactor deficiency. The first sibling was delivered by emergency cesarean section because of fetal distress and showed pedaling and crawling seizures soon after birth. Brain ultrasound revealed subcortical multicystic lesions in the frontal white matter, and brain MRI at 4 hours after birth showed restricted diffusion in the entire cortex, except for the area adjacent to the subcortical cysts.

Methods: Infants in sequence born after more than 35 weeks of gestation who had been hospitalized at the NICU and normal neonatal wards of Wakayama Medical University between May 2005 and September 2010 were recruited for this observational cohort study. The study eligibility criterion was the presence of perinatal asphyxia, as evidenced by abnormal fetal heart rate monitoring and an Apgar score of 7 or less at 1 min or need for resuscitation using positive pressure ventilation.
