Background and aims: Ventriculoatrial (VA) shunts are frequently used for hydrocephalus (HS) management when peritoneal catheter placement is inappropriate. Historically, open surgical cut-down (OSC) on the internal jugular vein has been standard method distal insertion. In contrast, percutaneous Seldinger-type ultrasound-guided (USG) venipuncture offers advantages such as reduced operating times lower postoperative pain. However, its use in pediatric patients limited. Methods: This study...
Proper securement of central venous catheters plays an important role in onco-hematological pediatric patients. A new subcutaneously anchored device has been recently introduced the clinical practice, and it extensively used children.In our study, we have retrospectively investigated safety effectiveness such device, reviewing experience three Italian oncological units. We considered only tunneled (cuffed or non-cuffed) inserted children with malignancy; all types were included analysis...
Cross-sectional studies of the lumbar spinal canal were performed by computerised tomography in asymptomatic subjects and patients with myelographic clinical findings suggestive stenosis. In most cases stenosis was found to be developmental or combined nature. Computerised is a useful adjunct myelography evaluation as it enables an accurate assessment made type, degree extent narrowing vertebral canal.
Abstract Pediatric osteomyelitis is an insidious disease that can lead to permanent sequelae, the management of which still relies on lengthy intravenous antibiotic therapy. The purpose this study report and describe clinical course outcome pediatric bacterial in our experience. We reported clinical, diagnostic, treatment characteristics all cases children younger than 18 years age who were hospitalized between January 2010 December 2021 at Bambino Gesù Children’s Hospital Rome, Italy, we...
Patients with thoracic neuroblastoma (TNB) are at high risk of postoperative neurologic complications due to iatrogenic lesions the artery Adamkiewicz (AKA). The role performing a preoperative spinal angiography (POSA) in these patients must be clarified. present study sought further understand relationship between POSA and TNB, as well effects identifying AKA on surgical excision neurological consequences.Data from TNB who underwent November 2015 February 2022 our tertiary pediatric center...
Perivascular epithelioid cell tumours (PEComas) represent a rare group of mesenchymal with an unpredictable outcome. They are usually observed in middle-aged women whilst they very children, limited cases described. Due to the anatomical location kidneys, correct diagnosis and treatment is really challenging.We treated case kidney's PEComa 14-year-old boy.An individualized approach based on (3D CT-reconstructions) histopathological (US-guided preliminary biopsy) features lead us perform...
Cirrhosis is a complex diffuse process whereby the architecture of liver replaced by abnormal nodules because presence fibrosis. Several pediatric diseases such as extrahepatic portal vein obstruction, biliary atresia, alpha-1-antitrypsin deficit and autoimmune hepatitis can lead to cirrhosis hypertension in children. In this article authors describe interventional radiology procedures that facilitate diagnosis treatment associated with population. These include image-guided biopsy,...
Neuroblastic tumors (NTs) represent the most common extracranial neoplasm occurring in childhood. Although ganglioneuroblastoma intermixed (GNBI) and ganglioneuroma (GN) are classified as very low-risk tumors, neuroblastoma (NB) ganglioneuroblastoma-nodular (GNBN) may a serious risk to survival. Unfortunately, areas of GNBI GNBN can coexist same mass, leading incorrect staging when only biopsy is performed. Herein, we describe case multifocal NT (thoracic abdominal localization) 4-year-old...
Abstract Introduction Patients affected by metastatic germ cell tumors may occasionally experience enlargement of masses with concurrent normalization tumor markers during or after chemotherapy. This phenomenon is described as growing teratoma syndrome (GTS). The aim the pre sent study to assess prevalence GTS in pediatric population and its implications terms surgical outcome. methods clinical notes patients diagnosed stage III IV malignant from January 2010 until December 2020 at our...
Background: Neuroblastoma is the most common solid extracranial tumor in children. Patients affected by neuroblastoma are stratified into low, intermediate, and high risk terms of event-free overall survival. Some high-risk patients have an additional acute hemorrhagic complications during induction chemotherapy. Aim: To find easily rapidly assessed parameters that help clinicians identify those who complications. Methods: The clinical notes diagnosed with from January 2013 until February...
Abstract Stenosis of the HJ is a common complication pediatric split LT with high morbidity and possible evolution to secondary biliary cirrhosis re‐transplantation if not treated. Because endoscopy generally infeasible in Roux‐en‐Y, percutaneous interventional radiology management usually safest most effective approach avoid surgical revision stenotic bilio‐enteric anastomosis. We present case child acute onset cholestasis 7 months after left lateral segment partial due occlusion HJ. The...
Background: There are many techniques for long-term central venous catheter (CVC) placement, but none of them specific pediatric patients or focused on the delivered dose ionizing radiation. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study examined a sample who received percutaneous CVC positioning in tertiary care hospital. Effective dose, dose-area product (DAP) length time exposition during procedure were determined, using an appropriate technical procedure, exam program set angiograph,...
