Uloga radiologije u svakodnevnom zbrinjavanju pacijenata bez obzira radi li se o hitnoj službi ili rutinskom radu je neizostavna. Racionalno korištenje mogućnosti postalo veliki izazov (1). U pedijatrijskoj radiologiji već godinama primjenjuje pristup „onoliko nisko koliko moguće razumno postići“ (ALARA, engl. “as low as reasonably achievable”) koji definira racionalno prvenstveno ionizirajućeg zračenja po principu da treba primijeniti najmanju moguću dozu koja potrebna za dijagnostički...
Decreased mineral bone density (BMD) and reduced lean body mass (LBM) are common amongst children with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The aim of our cross-sectional, observational study was to evaluate the relationship between BMD, composition physical activity (PA) in IBD remission.Total less head (TLBH) dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) used measure fat (FM) (LBM). Triaxial accelerometer for five consecutive days objectivize PA.Forty pediatric patients clinical remission (24 boys;...
Background: This study aimed to determine the proportion of patients with sarcopenia diagnosed by MRI and compare these results bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). Methods: Children newly Crohn’s disease (CD) who had enterography (MRE) BIA at least 12 months follow-up were included. Total psoas muscle area (TPMA) total paravertebral (TPVM) measured compared subjects’ lean mass body index (LMBI) was assessed BIA. Results: 30 children CD included (mean age 14.2 years, 53% male). Sarcopenia...
Objective -To determine the success rate of newly introduced method ultrasound guided hydrostatic reduction in detected ileocolic intussusception by retrospective analysis.Materials and methods -Analysis was performed on all diagnosed intussusceptions during period December 2013 to November 2015 at Department for pediatric Radiology Children's Hospital Zagreb.In this time 34 patients were with intussusception.Ultrasound 31 patients.We reposition using saline solution warmed body...
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a well-recognized risk factor for thrombotic events in adults but data on children are scarce.In the great majority of adult patients, usually deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism.Other sites such as jugular veins extremely rare.We present case Lemierre syndrome an adolescent girl with active ulcerative colitis discuss possible factors.This first reported severe thrombus extension to cranial patient colitis.Early recognition patients who rapidly...
Lymphatic malformations are abnormal cystic dilatations of lymphatic vessels. They present at birth, but often can only be detected later in life. Simple limited to certain anatomical regions, while complex diffuse abnormalities affect the entire organism. divided into macrocystic (cysts >1cm) and microcystic <1cm). According ISSVA classification from 2015, term lymphangioma is abandoned malformation introduced, which intended clearly indicate that it not a tumor formation. The...
Background/Objectives: Celiac disease (CD) is a common immune-mediated, chronic systemic disorder that treated with strict, life-long gluten-free diet (GFD). In addition to gastrointestinal manifestations, CD also presents variety of extraintestinal symptoms, including significant neurological and neuropsychiatric symptoms. Among these motor dysfunctions are particularly notable. The aim this study investigate the potential volumetric differences in brain structures, cortex basal ganglia,...
Neurodevelopmental disorders are a large group of that affect ~ 3% children and represent serious health problem worldwide. Their etiology is multifactorial includes genetic, epigenetic, environmental causes. Mounting evidence shows the importance genetic causes, especially genes involved in central nervous system development. As recently discovered, KMT5B gene related to abnormal activities enzymes regulate histone activity expression during brain Pathogenic variants lead autosomal...
Achromobacter xylosoxidans is an aerobic, Gram-negative rod with a broad intrinsic and acquired antimicrobial resistance, usually isolated in patients cystic fibrosis (CF), immunodeficiencies, or those undergoing invasive procedures. We report case of previously healthy 14-year-old girl who was hospitalized our institution due to prolonged, progressive cough exertional dyspnea, which started after mild viral respiratory tract infection. To elucidate the cause her symptoms, bronchoscopy...
To determine the potential benefits and feasibility of administering maintenance therapy with dinutuximab beta for high-risk neuroblastoma (HRNB) in clinical practice, a retrospective review charts patients HRNB treated at single center Croatia (2012-2021) was undertaken. Of 23 HRNB, 11 received up to five cycles as part multimodal therapy; 12 did not (i.e., no immunotherapy). In immunotherapy group, one patient had complete remission (8%), died tumor progression (92%). eight (73%; median...
<h3></h3> The aim of this report is to present 2 patients diagnosed with neoplasm mesenchymal origin, in whom NTRK inhibitor entrectinib was succesfully administered. first patient presented at the age 9 months as reccurent chalazion. During subsequent clinical and radiological follow-up a diagnosis right upper eyelid tumor made. Taking into account localization, surgical procedure maximum possible reduction performed, unfortunately positive resection margins. Histopthological analysis...
Objective - To describe a rare condition in children called posterior reversible leukoencephalopathy syndrome, its causes, diagnostic approach and treatment. Case report A 17 year old girl experienced generalized seizures head trauma after collapsing the toilet. It was first seizure her life. Five days earlier she had given birth. Two more followed next few hours first. Blood pressure measured at time of normal, but high afterwards. At that point admitted to intensive care unit. Initially,...
