Saudi Medical Journal
OBJECTIVE: Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is considered to be an important cause of morbidity and mortality among preterm infants. The aim of this study is to determine the incidence of PDA in ventilated preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) and to evaluate the role of some antenatal risk factors on its occurrence in our population. METHODS: The case records of the preterm infants of <34 weeks gestational age, who were ventilated for RDS at the neonatal intensive care unit of Maternity Hospital, Safat, Kuwait, between March 1998 and February 1999, were reviewed. Diagnosis of PDA was based on echocardiographic findings. The association between the risk factors chosen and the PDA was also evaluated. RESULTS: A total of 101 infants whose gestational ages ranged between 25-33 weeks, and birth weights between 685-1580 grams were included. Fifty-four had a significant PDA (53.4%). Maternal diabetes and antepartum hemorrhage (APH), birth weights, gestational ages, multiplicity and gender of the infants were found to be related to the incidence of PDA. CONCLUSION: The incidence of PDA in our ventilated preterm infants with RDS is similar to those reported from other neonatal units outside Kuwait. There are some factors that may identify babies, who are prone to develop PDA, which need to be confirmed by further prospective studies using a larger population.

The Clinical Utility Of Intrapleural Streptokinase In A Patient With Bilateral Pleural Empyema, Nayef A. Al-Ahmadi, Taysir S. Garadah, Abdulaziz A. Nwasser
Saudi Medical Journal
Bilateral thoracic empyema is a rare clinical entity particularly when presented as an initial clinical manifestation. Antibiotic therapy with intercostal thoracostomy drainage tube of the infected pleural space in complicated parapneumonic empyema may not be adequate in many conditions due to multiloculation and adhesion. We describe in this case a previously healthy middle aged male, presented with a bilateral thoracic empyema that was treated initially with antibiotics and intercostal drainage tube without optimal drainage results. The administration of twice daily intrapleural streptokinase prolonged for the duration of more than 10 days proved to be safe and effective as an alternative …
Dual Thyroid Ectopia, Mohammed H. Al-Akeely
Dual Thyroid Ectopia, Mohammed H. Al-Akeely
Saudi Medical Journal
Ectopic thyroid gland is a rare embryological fault of thyroid development. Dual ectopic thyroid is even more rare and only 8 cases have been reported in the literature. The author presents a case of dual ectopic thyroid in a 16-year-old boy with an anterior neck mass, which is gradually growing in size particularly in the last 2 years. The initial diagnosis was thyroglossal duct cyst. Thyroid function test revealed elevated thyroid-stimulating hormone. Ultrasound of the neck did not show thyroid gland in its normal pretracheal position. Thyroid scan (Technetium 99) revealed the diagnosis of dual thyroid ectopia (lingual and subhyoid).
