Congenital rubella

Risks of congenital defects are highest if contracted in the first trimester.

There is no treatment for congenital rubella.

Heart defects - PDA, PPS, VSD, ASD

300

What abdominal wall defect is associated with genetic syndromes?

An adolescent volleyball player develops knee pain worse after she jumps and runs.  She has noted swelling below her patella after practice. On exam she has full range of motion of the knee, tenderness and mild swelling of the tibial tuberosity. She denies fever, bone pain that gets worse at night, weight loss, or limp. The X-ray is shown below.  What is the diagnosis? What is the recommended treatment?


Diagnosis Osgood-Schlatter disease

OSD is an overuse injury most common in adolescents.

During periods of rapid growth, the quadriceps pull on the patellar tendon insertion site, causing traction apophysitis that can lead to elevation and avulsion of the tibial tubercle.

Treatment: RICE initially. May also benefit from NSAIDS, knee stabilization during activity, physical therapy

What is the next best step for diagnosis? What is the diagnosis?

Plain-film radiography, typically AP pelvis and frog leg lateral views of both hips, is the gold standard for confirming an Slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) diagnosis.
