Cause of Death Related with AgeUNDER 1 YEAR• Congenital malformations, deformations, and
chromosomal anomalies • Disorders related to short gestation and low birth weight • Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) • Newborn affected by maternal complications of pregnancy
• Newborn affected by complications of placenta, cord, and
membranes • Respiratory distress of newborn • Accidents (unintentional injuries) • Bacterial sepsis of newborn • Intrauterine hypoxia and birth asphyxia • Diseases of the circulatory system

1–4 YEARS• Accidents and adverse effects • Congenital malformations, deformations,
and chromosomal abnormalities • Malignant neoplasms • Homicide and legal intervention • Diseases of the heart (Excludes congenital heart disease) • Influenza and pneumonia

5–14 YEARS• Accidents and adverse effects • Malignant neoplasms • Homicide and legal intervention • Congenital malformations, deformations,
and chromosomal abnormalities • Suicide • Diseases of the heart

Congenital Anomalies
• morphologic defects that are present at birth• the exact cause remains unknown in at least
half to three quarters of the cases• common known causes of congenital
anomalies:– Genetic– Environmental– Multifactorial
![Page 8: Pediatric Pathology](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815d46550346895dcb4c19/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Genetic
• Anomalies that are known to be genetic in origin can be divided into two groups: – Those associated with chromosomal aberrations – Those arising from single-gene mutations
(“mendelian disorders”)
trisomy 21 (Down syndrome) is the only one that approaches a birth frequency of greater than 10 in 10,000 total births

Fetal Hydrops
• accumulation of edema fluid in the fetus during intrauterine growth
• Two Causes:– Immune– Nonimmune

Immune Hydrops
• Antibody induced hemolytic disease in the newborn caused by blood group incompatibility between mother and fetus.
• Rh and ABO blood group antigens, most common antigens.
![Page 12: Pediatric Pathology](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815d46550346895dcb4c19/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Nonimmune Hydrops• Cardiovascular Defetcs.
a. structuralb. functional
• Chromosomal anomalies.a. 45,X karyotype (Turner syndrome)b. Trisomies 21 and 18- the basis of this is the presence of underlying structural cardiac anomalies
• Fetal Anemia due to causes other than Rh and ABO incompatibility.

Fetal Anemia
• Homozygous alpha thalassemia – most common cause of HF in Southeast Asia
• Transplacental infection e.g. Parvovirus B19– Virus gains entry into erythroid precursors
(normoblasts), where it replicates.– Leads to erythrocyte maturation arrest and
aplastic anemia– Parvoviral intranuclear inclusions can be seen
within circulating and marrow erythroid precursors

Pathogenesis of Hydrops
Severe anemia
Hepatic extramedullary hematopoeisis
Decreased prdtn of plasma proteins
Decreased oncotic pressure
![Page 15: Pediatric Pathology](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815d46550346895dcb4c19/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Pathogenesis of Hydrops
Congestive heart failure
Increased central venous pressure
Increased capillary hydrostatic pressure

Pathogenesis of Hydrops
Severe tissue hypoxia
Endothelial cell damage
Capillary leak of fluid & protein

BENIGN TUMORS AND TUMOR-LIKE LESIONS
• Hemangioma– are the most common tumors of infancy– Types:• Cavernous• Capillary

• Teratomas• Tumor with at least 2 out of 3 germ layers– benign, well-differentiated cystic lesions (mature
teratomas)– indeterminate potential– unequivocally malignant teratomas

tumors (unresectable)

Wilms Tumor
• approximately 1 in every 10,000 children in the United States
• most common primary renal tumor of childhood• fourth most common pediatric malignancy in
the United States• 95% of tumors occur before the age of 10 years• Involves mutation of the WT1 gene
