The internal symptoms include: organ dysfunction‚ vision difficulties‚ hearing problems‚ and heart defects—such as ventricular septal defect or atrial septal defect. The mental symptoms include: poor co-ordination skills‚ learning disorders‚ abnormal behaviour—for example‚ short attention span‚ hyperactivity‚ poor impulse control‚ and extreme nervousness and anxiety—poor socialization

It is impossible to tell what abnormalities the baby will have because it affects each individual baby differently. The range of abnormalities are heart defects such as ventricular septal defect and atrial septal defect to problems with the kidneys. Other abnormalities resulting from Trisomy 18 include a small‚ abnormally shaped head‚ small jaw and mouth‚ as well as clenched fists with overlapping fingers‚ low set ears‚ and strawberry

Abstract This paper explores Tetralogy of Fallot repair and the four defects of the heart and its major blood vessels that it includes. The first being a ventricular septal defect which is a hole between the right and left ventricles. Narrowing of the pulmonary outflow tract which is the valve and artery that connect to the heart with the lungs. Overriding aorta that is shifted over the right ventricle and ventricular septal defect instead of coming out only from the left ventricle. Lastly‚ the thickened

Fallot Tetralogy of Fallot‚ abbreviated TOF‚ is a congenital heart defect that occurs within the hearts of infants and young children. The disease is named after the doctor who described the four heart defects common to several of his patients in 1888. It is present at birth and is usually diagnosed during infancy. There are times‚ though‚ that it may not be detected until later in life‚ depending on the severity of the defects and symptoms. The problems that occur within the heart cause the infants

ROBOTIC SURGERY Robotic surgery‚ computer-assisted surgery‚ and robotically-assisted surgery are terms for technological developments that use robotic systems to aid in surgical procedures. Robotically-assisted surgery was developed to overcome the limitations of minimally-invasive surgery and to enhance the capabilities of surgeons performing open surgery. In the case of robotically-assisted minimally-invasive surgery‚ instead of directly moving the instruments‚ the surgeon uses one of five

Tetralogy of Fallot is defined as a rare condition caused by the combination of four heart defects that are present at birth. These defects‚ which affect the structure of the heart‚ and cause poor blood flow out of the heart and into the rest of the body. The infants and children which have tetralogy of Fallot usually have a blue-tinged skin (cyanosis) because their blood is poorly oxygenated. Tetralogy of Fallot is often diagnosed during infancy or soon after. The symptoms vary depending on
