Abstract

Achalasia is a rare neurogenic motility disorder, occurring in around 0.11 cases per in 100,000 children. Changes morphology of the ganglion in the myenteric plexus can be identified at the LES(Lower Esophageal Sphincter)level. Some researchers have shown a decrease in vasoactive peptide (IVP) immunoreactivity in nerve fibers. In the pediatric, most achalasia was reported during adolescence, more often in boys. The combination of problems named (aperistaltic, LES hypertension, and lack of LES relaxation) results in patients experiencing symptoms of progressive dysphagia, weight loss, and regurgitation. A chest x-ray of a child with achalasia may show a dilated esophagus and air-fluid level. The use of barium swallow will show the esophagus is winding and wide, yet sometimes narrow on the cardia part like a bird's beak. Diagnosis is confirmed by esophageal manometry. Esophageal endoscopic examination is very important to get rid of stricture. Treatment modalities have developed over the past few decades from balloon dilatation and injection of botulinum toxin to laparoscopic Heller myotomy and endoscopic myotomy. Most data on achalasia management is extrapolated to children from adult experience. This article describes an understanding of pathogenesis and discusses newer therapeutic techniques and controversies in management.

Abstract

Hydrocephalus is an enlargement of the ventricle of the brain as a result of an increase in the amount of cerebrospinal fluid (CSS) caused by an imbalance between its production, circulation and absorption. Sectio caesaria can also be selected for fetal deformity in the form of hydrocephalus because itcan risk tearing of the uterus if the delivering is done by pervaginam. Sectio Caesarea is a surgicalprocedure that aims to deliver a baby by opening the abdominal wall and uterus of the mother. Sectio caesarean sectional is more commonly chosen compared to pervaginam delivery for breech presentation management, where the cause of the incidence of breech presentation is still unknown, but there are several risk factors other than prematurity, namely structural abnormalities of the uterus, polyhidramnion, placenta previa, multiparitas, fetal anomaly (anencephaly, hydrocephalus), and previous history of breech presentation. Hydrocephalus is a health problem that affects the retirement system. Polyhidramnions is a term used to describe the accumulation of excess amniotic fluid, this clinical condition is associated with a high risk of poor pregnancy outcomes. Mrs. S's 37-year-old patient came to give birth with contraction that felt increasingly frequent, 37 weeks pregnant, with the results of ultrasound are polyhydramnion and hydrocephalus. From the physical examination obtained general state: moderate pain; temperature: 36.7 oC; blood pressure: 120/80 mmHg; heart rate: 92x/min; respiratory rate: 18 x/min. On leopold I examination obtained a height of fundus uteri is 40 cm, palpable round, hard, head impression. Leopold II palpable flat long part on the right side of the back impression. Leopold III palpable soft round part, the breech impression. Fetal heart rate 155x/min, fetal estimated weight 4.300 grams. In patients performed secio caesarea on indications of hydrocepalus, polyhydroamnion and breech persentation, so that this patient is diagnosed with P3A0 post sectio caesarea on indications of hypocephalus with polyhidramnion and breech presentation. treatment in these patients post SC is seftriaxone, ketorolac and oxytocin drip.

Abstract

HELLP syndrome (Hemolysis, Elevated Liver Enzymes, and Low Platelet Count) is a severe complication of preeclampsia that increases maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. Maternal factors such as age, parity, and nutritional status are thought to be associated with the occurrence of HELLP syndrome. This study aimed to analyze the association between maternal age, parity, and nutritional status and the incidence of HELLP syndrome among preeclamptic patients at Dr. H. Abdul Moeloek Regional General Hospital, Bandar Lampung. This analytic observational study used a case-control design based on medical records of preeclamptic patients from 2023 to 2025. The sample consisted of 50 respondents, comprising 25 preeclamptic patients with HELLP syndrome as cases and 25 preeclamptic patients without HELLP syndrome as controls, selected using purposive sampling according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate Chi-Square tests, with Odds Ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) calculated to assess the strength of association. The results showed significant associations between maternal age and HELLP syndrome (p=0.045; OR=3.27; 95% CI 1.01–10.62) and between nutritional status and HELLP syndrome (p<0.001; OR=51.00; 95% CI 5.82–446.56). No significant association was found between parity and HELLP syndrome (p=0.544; OR=1.45; 95% CI 0.44–4.78). In conclusion, maternal age and nutritional status were associated with HELLP syndrome among preeclamptic patients, whereas parity showed no significant association. Early identification of these maternal factors during the antenatal period is important to support early detection in high-risk pregnancies.
