A healthy woman presented with an antepartum haemorrhage at 35/40 during a low-risk pregnancy with normal antenatal bloods and anomaly scan at 20/40 gestation. Following an abnormal ultrasound (USS), the baby was delivered by emergency C-section. A male infant was born in good condition but admitted to the neonatal unit for monitoring. Examination revealed global hypotonia, a weak uncoordinated suck and absent Moro reflex. He had widened sagittal sutures and a large posterior fontanelle. The remainder of the examination was unremarkable. Abnormal bloods are shown in table 1 .

Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...
