In Kasabach-Merritt syndrome the hemangioma triggers intravascular coagulation trapping thrombocytes and then consuming .That causes thrombocytopenia.

The Moro reflex

The Moro reflex is obtained by placing the infant in a semi-upright position. The head is momentarily allowed to fall backward, with immediate resupport by the examiner's hand. The child symmetrically abducts and extends the arms and flexes the thumbs, followed by flexion and adduction of the upper extremities

hypotonia may reflect pathology of the cerebral hemispheres, cerebellum, spinal cord, anterior horn cell, peripheral nerve, myoneural junction, or muscle. An unusual position or posture in an infant is a reflection of abnormal tone

The Caloric Test

caloric test. Approximately 5 mL of ice water is delivered by syringe into the external auditory canal with the patient's head elevated 30 degrees from the horizontal position.
In obtunded or comatose patients with an intact brainstem, there is prompt deviation of the eyes to the side of the stimulus. A much smaller quantity of ice water (0.5 mL) is used in alert, awake subjects. In normal subjects,
introduction of ice water produces nystagmus with the quick component in the opposite direction to the stimulated labyrinth. No response implies severe dysfunction of the brainstem and medial longitudinal fasciculus.
If the otoscopic examination reveals a ruptured tympanic membrane, the test should not be performed in that ear

Finnish type congenital nephrotic syndrome
|

Infants who develop nephrotic syndrome within the first 90 days of life are considered to have congenital nephrotic syndrome.
The most common cause of this syndrome is Finnish type congenital nephrotic syndrome, an autosomal recessive disorder that is most common in populations of Scandinavian descent . A gene located on chromosome 19, which encodes a protein, nephrin. Nephrin is a key component of the slit diaphragm of the glomerular epithelial cell and is thought to play an essential role in the normal function of the glomerular filtration barrier. The major pathologic features of the Finnish type of this syndrome are dilatation of the proximal tubules, mesangial hypercellularity, and glomerular sclerosis. Infants with the Finnish type of congenital nephrotic syndrome present with massive proteinuria (detectable in utero by increased α-fetoprotein), a large placenta, and marked edema. Corticosteroids and immunosuppressive agents are of no value. ACE inhibitors, indomethacin, and unilateral nephrectomy may diminish proteinuria and ameliorate the nephrotic state. However, the preferred treatment includes bilateral nephrectomy, chronic dialysis, aggressive nutritional support, and eventual kidney transplantation

Nephrotic syndrome is primarily a pediatric disorder and is 15 times more common in children than adults. The incidence is 2–3/100,000 children per year,
and the vast majority of affected children will have steroid-sensitive minimal change disease.
The characteristic features of nephrotic syndrome are heavy proteinuria (>3.5 g/24 hr in adults or 40 mg/m2/hr in children), hypoalbuminemia (<2.5 g/dL),
edema, and hyperlipidemia
