Bronchogenic cysts are rare, congenital malformations of the foregut, most commonly located in mediastinum. Subcutaneous bronchogenic exceedingly rare. We report an 11-month-old boy who presented with asymptomatic chest wall mass. He underwent surgical excision and final histopathology was consistent a cyst. To our knowledge, this is first reported case subcutaneous cyst child.
To determine if an untrained cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) Coach, with no access to real-time CPR feedback technology, improves quality.This was a prospective randomized pilot study at tertiary care children's hospital that aimed integrate Coach into teams during simulated pediatric cardiac arrest. Simulation events were two arms: control (no Coach) or intervention (CPR Coach). Simulations run by intensive unit (PICU) providers and video recorded. Scenarios focused on full arrest;...
Long-gap rectal atresia, as defined by a distance greater than 3 cm, is an uncommon type of rare anorectal malformation (ARM). . We report the successful completion 3-stage procedure including colostomy and mucous fistula creation, laparoscopic-assisted transanal endorectal pull-through, take-down in patient with long-gap atresia.
Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) remains one of the most critical gastrointestinal comorbidities associated with neonatal prematurity and low birth weight. Despite extensive research innovations for successful management, NEC leading cause morbidity mortality in premature infants. is commonly appreciated at level small bowel, but rare instances, it experienced colon. While colonic perforation rare, cecal perforation, specifically, seldom reported. We report surgical intervention a preterm...
Different species of marine and freshwater fish can cause significant morbidity for humans. These include systemic complications associated with their biological toxins or mechanical injury inflicted via fins. Penetrating truncal injuries under these circumstances are rare may present a diagnostic dilemma challenge to manage. We report 10-year-old male who sustained penetrating right flank from dead catfish's barb. A computed tomography (CT) scan the abdomen demonstrated retained barb within...
Acquired arteriovenous fistula (AVF) are rare in the pediatric population. We report a 15-year-old boy who sustained ballistic ball (BB) gun pellet injury to left forearm leading formation of traumatic branchio-brachial AVF. He underwent successful open repair his using vein patch graft. share our management this case and review fistulas.
Oral administration of barium sulfate can result in barium-induced intestinal obstruction. A term female newborn initially presented with a partial bowel After completing an upper gastrointestinal (UGI) series contrast to evaluate the etiology her obstruction, she subsequently developed complete At exploratory laparotomy, was discovered have obstruction distal ileum by congenital band that rendered impacted plug. To our knowledge, this is first report neonate secondary impaction and...
Fourth branchial cleft anomalies are the rarest type of anomalies. They arise from an incomplete involution fourth during development. We report successful surgical excision a left cyst in pediatric patient presenting with enlarging painless lateral neck mass. Intraoperatively was found to have large cyst, which displaced superior pole thyroid lobe. In addition, there hemiagenesis right thyroid.
Gastroesophageal (GE) junction injuries are rare in the pediatric population. A complete GE separation a child secondary to trauma has not reported literature yet. 14-year-old boy presented with avulsion after near-drowning experience. He underwent immediate damage control surgery and delayed gastric pull-up esophageal reconstruction 3-months. At most recent clinic visit 5 months from reconstruction, he can tolerate regular diet without difficulty is gaining weight recovering well. Complete...
