To prospectively evaluate the accuracy of hepatic artery diameter and diameter-to-portal vein ratio for ultrasonographic (US) diagnosis biliary atresia, with cholangiographic or clinical information as reference standard.Institutional review board approval informed consent were obtained. US was performed in 68 neonates infants cholestatic jaundice (mean age, 61 days; male-to-female ratio, 38:30). Biliary atresia (n = 38) confirmed cholangiography, hepatitis 30) diagnosed 24) 6) findings....

Object Ideal epilepsy surgery would eliminate seizures without causing any functional deficits. The aim of the present study was to assess seizure outcomes and complications after in children with intractable epilepsy. Methods Data obtained 134 (75 boys 59 girls) age 17 years or younger who underwent at Seoul National University Children's Hospital between 1993 2005 were retrospectively reviewed. Epilepsy included temporal resection (59 cases), extratemporal (56 hemispherectomy (7...

Intracranial germ cell tumors (GCTs) frequently present with bifocal lesions in both the suprasellar and pineal areas. The pathogenesis of these GCTs has been subject controversy. Bifocal may be caused by synchronous or metastatic spread tumor cells from one site to other. prognosis associated also a cause concern.The authors constructed single-institution patient cohort comprising 181 patients intracranial GCTs. clinical characteristics were compared those GCTs.Bifocal observed 23 (12.8%)....

Purpose The aim of this study was to identify the signal intensity (SI) changes in dentate nucleus (DN) and globus pallidus (GP) on unenhanced T1-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) images after multiple administration gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) children compare those between linear macrocyclic GBCAs. Materials Methods This retrospective approved by institutional review board requirement for informed consent waived. We identified 92 who underwent at least 4 consecutive MR...

As complications of tuberculosis are frequent in infancy, correct diagnosis infants is important. The purposes this study to summarize radiographic and CT findings pulmonary determine the radiologic features frequently seen with disease.Frequent mediastinal or hilar lymphadenopathy central necrosis air-space consolidations, especially masslike consolidations low-attenuation areas cavities within consolidation. Disseminated nodules airway also detected age group. a useful diagnostic technique...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate retrospectively the CT and sonographic features in nine children with pathologically proven inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors abdomen.Although occur various sites imaging characteristics are variable, showed different patterns that were dependent on site at which tumor had originated.

The Chiari 1.5 malformation is defined as a tonsillar herniation within I with additional caudal descent of the brainstem through foramen magnum. We describe patient who evolved to during longitudinal follow-up. A 15-year-old girl presented neck pain exercise for two years. She had been diagnosed mild hydrocephalus after minor cervical trauma at age six At that time, she was asymptomatic. After complained aggravated pain, neuroimaging (nine years first imaging) revealed and syringomyelia in...

To evaluate whether perfusion magnetic resonance (MR) imaging can depict hemodynamic status after revascularization surgery and changes at MR correspond with clinical outcome in moyamoya disease.An institutional review board approved this retrospective study; informed consent was waived. Pre- postoperative data 67 children disease (mean age, 7.2 years; range, 2-13 years) were included. Regional time to peak (rTTP) regional cerebral blood volume (rCBV) calculated by adjusting (TTP) (CBV)...

Objective: We retrospectively evaluated the effectiveness of esophageal balloon dilatation (EBD) in children with a corrosive stricture. Materials and Methods:The study subjects included 14 patients (M:F = 8:6, age range: 17-85 months) who underwent an EBD due to stricture.The causative agents for condition were glacial acetic acid (n 9) lye 5).Results: A total 52 sessions performed (range 1-8 sessions).During mean 15-month follow-up period 1-79 months), 12 (86%) additional recurrent...

Severe obesity is a major problem in pediatric craniopharyngioma. We investigated whether tumor origin, growth pattern, and surgical damage predict Subjects were 58 patients (30 males) with no recurrence during the first postoperative 18 months. Preoperative hypothalamic involvement was classified into (pre_G0, n = 19), little (pre_G1, 21), severe (pre_G2, 18) groups based on sub- or supradiaphragmatic origin patterns. Postoperative (post_G0, 4), minimal (post_G1, significant (post_G2, 35)...

Objective: To develop an high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) scoring system for the assessment of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) and determine its usefulness as compared with chest radiographic score.Materials Methods: Forty-two very low-birth-weight preterm infants BPD (25 male, 17 female) were prospectively evaluated HRCT performed at mean age 39.1-week postmenstrual age.Clinical severity was categorized mild, moderate or severe.The score (0-36) each patient sum number segments 1)...

Objective: To assess the diagnostic value of various ultrasound (US) findings and to make a decision-tree model for US diagnosis biliary atresia (BA).Materials Methods: From March 2008 January 2014, following were retrospectively evaluated in 100 infants with cholestatic jaundice (BA, n = 46; non-BA, 54): length morphology gallbladder, triangular cord thickness, hepatic artery portal vein diameters, visualization common bile duct.Logistic regression analyses performed determine features that...

While limited dorsal myeloschisis is a distinctive form of spinal dysraphism, it may be confused with congenital dermal sinus. The aim this study was to describe clinical and MR imaging findings that can distinguish from sinus.We retrospectively reviewed the 12 patients 10 Skin abnormalities, neurologic deficits, infectious complication were evaluated on basis information. We following features: visibility tract along intrathecal course, attachment site tract, level conus medullaris, shape...

Objective: To determine the correlation between cerebral blood flow (CBF) on arterial spin labeling (ASL) MRI and degree of postoperative revascularization assessed digital subtraction angiography in children with moyamoya disease (MMD).Materials Methods: Twenty-one (9 boys 12 girls; mean age, 8.4 ± 3.6 years; age range, 3-16 years) MMD who underwent both pseudocontinuous ASL at 1.5T catheter before after superficial temporal artery encephaloduroarteriosynangiosis were included this...

PURPOSE: The authors retrospectively reviewed their experience with balloon dilation of esophageal strictures in infants and children to determine the prevalence perforation during this procedure. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Balloon was performed 32 patients stricture due either congenital or postoperative stenosis. total number procedures 141; each patient underwent one 12 procedures. RESULTS: Four cases occurred were detected immediately after Perforation three these treated nonoperatively...

Object Sinus pericranii (SP) is a rare venous varix in an extracranial location connected to the intracranial system. The aim of this retrospective study was report on 16 pediatric cases SP with consideration preoperative evaluation surgical risk. Methods population consisted 10 patients who had undergone surgery for and 6 concomitant craniosynostosis SP. mean age at presentation 3.7 years. To identify characteristics high operative risk, 8 11 previously reported sufficient information were...
