About Fetal akinesia-cerebral and retinal hemorrhage syndrome

What is Fetal akinesia-cerebral and retinal hemorrhage syndrome?

Fetal akinesia-cerebral and retinal hemorrhage syndrome (FACRH) is a rare genetic disorder that affects the development of the fetus. It is characterized by a lack of movement (akinesia) of the fetus, as well as bleeding in the brain (cerebral hemorrhage) and the eyes (retinal hemorrhage). The cause of FACRH is unknown, but it is believed to be caused by a genetic mutation. Symptoms of FACRH can include poor growth, seizures, and intellectual disability. Treatment for FACRH is supportive and may include physical therapy, medications, and surgery.

What are the symptoms of Fetal akinesia-cerebral and retinal hemorrhage syndrome?

The symptoms of Fetal akinesia-cerebral and retinal hemorrhage syndrome include:

-Severely reduced fetal movement
-Severely reduced fetal muscle tone
-Severely reduced fetal reflexes
-Severely reduced fetal breathing
-Severely reduced fetal heart rate
-Severely reduced fetal growth
-Cerebral and retinal hemorrhage
-Seizures
-Developmental delays
-Cognitive impairments
-Visual impairments
-Hearing impairments
-Feeding difficulties
-Gastrointestinal problems
-Respiratory problems
-Cardiac problems
-Musculoskeletal problems
-Skin problems
-Endocrine problems
-Immune system problems

What are the causes of Fetal akinesia-cerebral and retinal hemorrhage syndrome?

Fetal akinesia-cerebral and retinal hemorrhage syndrome is a rare disorder caused by a genetic mutation. The exact cause of the mutation is unknown, but it is believed to be caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Possible causes include exposure to certain toxins, infections, and medications during pregnancy.

What are the treatments for Fetal akinesia-cerebral and retinal hemorrhage syndrome?

Unfortunately, there is no known cure for Fetal akinesia-cerebral and retinal hemorrhage syndrome. Treatment focuses on managing the symptoms and providing supportive care. This may include physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and other interventions to help the child reach their fullest potential. Medications may also be prescribed to help manage seizures, muscle spasms, and other symptoms. In some cases, surgery may be recommended to help improve mobility and reduce the risk of complications.

What are the risk factors for Fetal akinesia-cerebral and retinal hemorrhage syndrome?

1. Maternal diabetes
2. Maternal hypertension
3. Maternal smoking
4. Maternal obesity
5. Maternal age over 35
6. Maternal use of certain medications
7. Multiple pregnancies
8. Family history of Fetal akinesia-cerebral and retinal hemorrhage syndrome
9. Exposure to certain environmental toxins
10. Infections during pregnancy

Is there a cure/medications for Fetal akinesia-cerebral and retinal hemorrhage syndrome?

Unfortunately, there is no known cure for Fetal akinesia-cerebral and retinal hemorrhage syndrome. Treatment is focused on managing the symptoms and providing supportive care. Medications may be used to help control seizures, reduce muscle spasms, and improve breathing. Physical and occupational therapy may also be recommended to help improve movement and coordination.
