Abstract

Encephaloceles and severe cardiac malformations are rare presentations in a newborn. The mechanism of these congenital abnormalities is relatively unknown, but it is hypothesized to be related to genetic, environmental, and maternal risk factors. This case report describes a newborn with an occipital encephalocele associated with severe right ventricular hypoplasia secondary to tricuspid and pulmonary atresia. The patient\'s maternal risk factors included obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and everyday tobacco use during pregnancy. Education on preconception planning, management, and counseling is essential as a preventative measure in fetal development and is further emphasized in this case.

摘要

在新生儿中，罕见的表现是头颅和严重的心脏畸形。这些先天性异常的机制相对未知，但假设它与遗传有关，环境,和孕产妇风险因素。此病例报告描述了一名新生儿，其枕骨脑膨出与三尖瓣和肺动脉闭锁继发的严重右心室发育不全有关。患者的母体风险因素包括肥胖，2型糖尿病,和怀孕期间的日常烟草使用。关于先入为主的规划教育，管理,咨询作为胎儿发育的预防措施是必不可少的，在这种情况下进一步强调。
