Objective. To determine whether newborn cranial computed tomographic (CT) scan abnormalities predict an adverse neurodevelopmental outcome in children with symptomatic congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection and to examine the association between clinical findings at birth imaging abnormalities. Methods. The data from 56 CMV who underwent CT scans as newborns were enrolled a long-term follow-up study analyzed. incidence of sequelae was compared groups normal abnormal studies. relationship...
To provide more information about this rare condition, the authors describe five cases of syringohydromyelia without hindbrain herniation. Preoperative magnetic resonance imaging with and gadolinium-diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid revealed no evidence spinal cord tumor, arachnoiditis, or dysraphism.Craniocervical decompression was performed in all patients, after which there resolution symptoms four symptomatic showed marked reduction size syrinx.The hypothesize occurrence resulting from...
Air enema was used for exclusion, diagnosis, initial movement, and complete reduction of intussusception in 186 pediatric patients. Average pressure needed movement 56.5 mm Hg; average maximum 97.8 Hg required reduction. fluoroscopy time 94.8 seconds; an 41.8 seconds to exclude intussusception. Intussusception diagnosed 75 patients, accomplished 65 (87%). Of 100 consecutive patients that underwent hydrostatic at the authors' institution, successful 55. Compared with enema, air involves...
Sinogenic intracranial empyema (SIE) is an uncommon complication of sinusitis that can lead to devastating neurologic sequelae. Early recognition the clinical findings critical so proper management be instituted.To describe symptoms, signs, and laboratory imaging from one largest pediatric SIE case series reported.Descriptive study a retrospective cohort all children admitted Primary Children's Medical Center with between June 2000 February 2004. Children were identified by computerized...
<b>BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:</b> Pilomyxoid astrocytoma (PMA) is a recently described variant of pilocytic (PA) with unique clinical and histopathologic characteristics. Because the histopathology PMA distinct from that PA, we hypothesized PMAs would display distinctive imaging We retrospectively reviewed findings in large number patients to identify these <b>MATERIALS METHODS:</b> CT MR images, pathology reports, information 21 pathology-confirmed 7 institutions were reviewed. findings,...
Cystic lesions of the lung may be developmental or acquired. The authors describe two cases cystic (mesenchymal hamartomas) that harbored unsuspected mesenchymal sarcomas. Although in children natural history this lesion is incompletely characterized, there a definite risk for malignant change. initial appearance these on chest radiograph generally benign. It important to establish nature (developmental vs acquired) and recognize potential change hamartoma. uncertain type should resected.
To evaluate a series of patients with enlarged parietal foramina for associated brain anomalies.Enlarged are usually considered benign calvarial defect.Ten were identified. Seven evaluated neuroimaging: two by cranial CT and five and/or MRI. Three who underwent MRI also MR angiography or venography.Six seven had imaging showing persistent falcine venous sinus. six variations occipital cortical infolding. One patient focal encephalomalacia in close proximity to the sinus one previously...
Four infants with congenital or acquired tracheobronchial stenosis were successfully treated angioplasty balloon catheter dilation. The technical details and complications of these procedures are described. authors believe dilation therapy should be considered as the initial form for tracheal in infants, even presence complex stenotic lesions.
<h3>BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:</h3> Accurate differentiation of abusive head trauma and accidental injury in infants young children is critical impacts clinical care, patient prognosis, forensic investigations, medicolegal proceedings. No specific finding seen on cross-sectional brain imaging has been reported to distinguish from injury. Our study investigated whether a finding, parenchymal laceration, unique diagnosed with trauma. <h3>MATERIALS METHODS:</h3> We retrospectively identified 137...
The purpose of this study was to describe the clinical and imaging characteristics malignant neoplasms parotid gland in patients who had been successfully treated for childhood cancer. Eight cases carcinoma were identified among survivors primary cancer at two centers. Medical records studies reviewed identify frequency second tumors, assess possible risk factors their development, any specific MR or CT features these tumors. Parotid tumors (mucoepidermoid seven acinar cell one) diagnosed a...
Unexplained SDH in infants and children is an accepted marker for AHT. It has been proposed that IVT may be the initiating event leading to development of acute SDH, mimicking appearance traumatic SDH. Our study aims investigate if nontraumatic causes pediatric population. We retrospectively identified 36 patients with reviewed neuroimaging studies concurrent presence In our IVT, no associated was observed. Even extensive present. Three false-positive diagnoses were setting mastoiditis...
In the assessment of head and neck, differential diagnoses can be formulated by subdividing anatomy into spaces along identifiable logical boundaries. oral cavity, root tongue is notably unlike adjacent regions due to structural tissue-specific differences. The majority lesions found in are congenital benign, representing ectopic tissues thyroidal, epidermal, dermal, foregut, venous, lymphatic origin. A greater number acquired neoplasms infections seen sublingual, submandibular,...
