Hydrocephalus 1
Hydrocephalus occurs when excess fluid builds up in brain, most often because of an obstruction preventing proper fluid drainage. The excess fluid can push fragile brain tissues up against the skull ? causing brain damage and, if left untreated, even death. Hydrocephalus is sometimes present at birth, although it may develop later. The excessive accumulation of CSF results in an abnormal widening of spaces in the brain called ventricles. This widening creates potentially harmful pressure on the tissues of the brain.
Coma1
A coma is a state of prolonged unconsciousness that can be caused by a wide variety of problems ? traumatic head injury, stroke, brain tumor, or even an underlying illness, such as diabetes or an infection. A coma is a medical emergency. Swift action is needed to preserve life and brain function. Comas seldom last longer than a few weeks. People who are unconscious for longer than that are usually reclassified as being in a persistent vegetative state. People who are in a persistent vegetative state for more than a year are extremely unlikely to awaken.
A1AT Deficiency
Alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency is a genetic disorder caused by defective production of alpha 1-antitrypsin leading to decreased A1AT activity in the blood and lungs and resulting in deposition of excessive abnormal A1AT protein in liver cells
Type 1 diabetes in children
Type 1 diabetes, once known as juvenile diabetes or insulin-dependent diabetes, is a chronic condition in which the pancreas produces little or no insulin, a hormone needed to convert sugar (glucose) into energy. Although type 1 diabetes can develop at any age, it typically appears during childhood or adolescence.
Nager syndrome 1
Nager Syndrome is a condition which is extremely rare congenital defect with heriditary features which has only 25% of survival rates resulting from problems in the development of the first and second brachial arches. The first arches produce the nerves and muscles for chewing, the lower jaw, two of three bones in the middle ear, and a small part of the ears. The second arches produce the nerves and muscles of facial expression, one bone in the middle ear, most of the external ears, and parts of the bone above the larynx.
