Question 1

could a closed vsd still cause these "defects"?

Accepted Answer

More info needed: Are you having symptoms or problems you believe to be a result of a vsd that was closed?  A vsd may cause problems due to excess blood flow through the lungs, or due to dilation ("stretch") of left sided heart structures.  Closure of the vsd, if early enough, reverses these problems, but if closed in adolescence or adulthoot, some problems may not disappear.  Many factors contribute.

Question 2

what is a pars defect?

Accepted Answer

A cracka small crack: in thecpars articularis part of the posterior elements of a vertebrae mostly in L5 not universally symptomatic may be an incidental finding

Question 3

what is an example of defect in angiogenesis?

Accepted Answer

Cancer: Abnormal blood vessels both structurally and functional. Cancer is a classic example of both. Just look closely at the circulation inside a big cancer and you will see the defective angiogenesis.

Question 4

how many chromosome defects cause retardation?

Accepted Answer

Hundreds at least: We only know about a few hundred, probably thousands possible as each human is unique as are their choomasome array.

Question 5

define non reversible (fixed) defects in hearts?

Accepted Answer

Reversible: We use the terminology with respect to nuclear perfusion images of the heart muscle. When there is an image defect that does not fill in on follow up imaging, we call this nonreversible or fixed. It usually suggests scar of the myocardium rather than temporary decrease in blood flow to the area.

Question 6

what are common methods of repairing a ventrical septal defect?

Accepted Answer

Surgery: In general surgery is required. Investigationally, this can be repaired by inserting a catheter into a blood vessel in the groin, up into the heart, and across the defect. A closure device is then opened up and occludes the vsd. This is commonly used for atrial septal defect but technically more difficult for a ventricular septal defect.

Question 7

was there a possibility that baby could have defects if you experienced heavy spottings before?

Accepted Answer

If you mean episodes: Of bleeding in the 1st or 2nd trimester, it would depend on whether there was any reduction in the flow of blood or oxygen to the fetal brain during those episodes. In the us, ob's follow head growth as well as body growth on fetal ultrasounds.

Question 8

what is laminectomy defect mean

Accepted Answer

Old surgery: 'laminectomy defect' just means prior surgery or laminectomy seen on a imaging study (usually an mri).

Question 9

causes of high palate and midline defects?

Accepted Answer

Many reasons: Missing teeth, mouth breathing and sinus problems may be contributors to high palate and midline issues.

Question 10

what is bilateral pars defect of the spine?

Accepted Answer

Lumbar Pars Defect: The defect is a stress fracture of the posterior portion of the spine that connects the facet joints and lamina with the anterior vertebral body at the level of the pedicle. This process is also known as a spondylolysis. It occurs in 5% of the general population but can be as high as 15% in certain athletes like gymnasts and football lineman due to the lumbar hyperextension.
