Neugeborenes mit Nasenagenesie: Neonatologische Herausforderungen bei der Versorgung eines Neugeborenen mit Bosma-Arhinie-Mikrophthalmie-Syndrom (BAMS)

AbstractThe rare clinical picture of nasal agenesis is to be presented on the basis of a female newborn. Intrauterine growth restriction with polyhydramnios and midface hypoplasia were noted during pregnancy. Primary cesarean section at 38+4 weeks’ gestation was done. Airway management was achieved by splinting through a Mayo tube which was subsequently replaced by a pharyngeal endotracheal tube without signs of respiratory failure. In addition to a complete nasal agenesis, hypertelorism, a Gothic palate, bilateral microphthalmus, and iris coloboma were found. Ultrasound scans of cerebral structures were normal.…
