Maternal electrolyte imbalance is rarely reported as causative factor of severe perinatal brain injury.
This case outlines a unique maternal and neonatal pseudo-Bartter syndrome presented with metabolic alkalosis and hypochloremia due to maternal severe vomiting.
Neonatal MRI brain revealed extensive brain hemorrhages with porencephalic cysts. Subsequent investigation workup points towards maternal severe metabolic alkalosis as its cause.
Careful medical attention should be paid to pregnant women with excessive vomiting to ensure a healthy outcome for both the mother and the baby.
孕产妇电解质失衡作为严重围产期脑损伤的致病因素鲜有报道。
本病例概述了一种独特的母婴假性巴特综合征,因母亲严重呕吐导致代谢性碱中毒和低氯血症。
新生儿脑部磁共振成像显示广泛的脑内出血伴脑穿通性囊肿。后续调查研究表明母亲严重的代谢性碱中毒是其病因。
对于呕吐过度的孕妇应给予密切医疗关注,以确保母婴均有健康的结局。
