The records of all children with peptic ulcer disease at the Hospital for Sick Children were retrospectively evaluated, excluding neonates, throughout a 5-year period. Only cases definite crater identified either endoscopy or surgery included. There 36 patients, 20 boys and 16 girls. Duodenal ulcers more common than gastric (2.8:1). Ages ranged from 3 months to 17 years, mean age 10 years. Patients reviewed respect etiology disease, when first examined, initial symptoms, clinical course....
To assess the sonographic frequency of simple renal cysts in children, authors retrospectively reviewed results abdominal studies 16,102 children performed over a 5-year period between January 1, 1985, and December 31, 1989. Patients with abnormal function, dysplastic kidneys, or family history polycystic kidney disease were excluded from study. The authors' review sonograms revealed 37 35 patients (0.22%); evenly distributed by age sex measured 0.3 to 7.0 cm maximum diameter. Sixteen (43%)...
The immotile cilia syndrome (ICS) is an uncommon disorder characterized by specific and genetically determined defects of that cause upper lower respiratory disease. We reviewed the radiographic patterns in 30 patients who had ICS (15 females, 15 males) ranged age from newborn to 26 years. Except for two neonates, sinusitis otitis were present all patients. Chest abnormalities, universally present, included bronchial wall thickening, hyper-inflation, segmental atelectasis or consolidation,...
Internal carotid arteries of unusual size and tortuosity were found before or at the time pharyngeal flap surgery in three children who had velocardiofacial syndrome with velopharyngeal insufficiency. In two cases, medial displacement prevented surgery, other, hypernasality persisted because only a narrow, asymmetrical could be raised. Medial internal inhibits surgical treatment insufficiency, necessitating prosthetic speech device such children. Since may associated Findings syndrome, exact...
The efficacy, adverse reactions, and long-term effects of intestinal lavage treatment with a balanced electrolyte solution (Golytely) was evaluated in patients cystic fibrosis distal obstruction syndrome. Twenty-two (mean age 21.8 years, range 14 to 34 15 boys or men) who sought medical attention because abdominal pain mass the right iliac fossa received Golytely, 5.6 ± 1.9 L 1 SD), either orally (n = 14) via nasogastric tube 8) during 2.4 hours. No serious side occurred. Serum values...
Eight children with mucopolysaccharidosis I (MPS I), representing 33% of all MPS seen at our institution during an 18-year period, developed hypertension. Five these hypertensive also exhibited symptoms aortic coarctation. The radiographic evaluation four (three Hurler syndrome, H, and one Scheie disease, S) arteriopathy affecting the thoracic aorta, abdominal visceral renal arteries is presented. Hypertension in before they were 4 years old; three had differences between upper-...
Between 1971 and 1984, 57 patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) clinically suspected gastroesophageal reflux (GER) underwent a barium-meal examination routine pulmonary function testing. Reflux was demonstrated in 18 patients; six of these it complicated by hiatus hernia, esophagitis, or stricture formation. Compared 412 CF without known GER, the demonstrable had significantly reduced forced expiratory volume vital capacity. GER should be looked for carefully on any study CF; have an increased...
To document the frequency of ovarian cyst formation in prepubertal female and to report on clinical implications these cysts.We evaluated cases from a retrospective chart review females with cysts.Over 5-year period, 1818 ultrasound studies were completed females, which 99 patients identified as having cysts. The majority (82 99, 83%) small, unilocular cysts averaging 2-3 mm diameter. incidence small ranged at 2-5% between birth age 8. Large (ie, greater than 2 cm diameter) are rare young...
To determine the effectiveness of percutaneous drainage traumatic pancreatic pseudocysts, we reviewed courses 13 children. Six pseudocysts resolved on complete bowel rest and total parenteral nutrition. Seven required further therapy. Two were treated operatively; five drained percutaneously with fluoroscopic guidance. These ranged from 5 to 15 cm in diameter present for 10 42 days (mean, 26 days). In all cases, cyst fluid was clear, had an amylase level greater than 40,000 IU/L, grew no...
Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is a recently recognized condition of viral origin associated with substantial morbidity and mortality rates in adults. Little information available on its radiologic manifestations children.The goal this study was to characterize the radiographic presentation children SARS.We abstracted data (n=62) appearance course SARS pediatric patients suspect (n=25) or probable (n=37) SARS, diagnosed five hospital sites located three cities: Toronto, Singapore,...
Abstract Forty‐eight children, born at less than 33 weeks' gestation and without bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) or Wilson‐Mikity syndrome (WM) were studied a mean age of 9.1 years, to identify the incidence possible factors contributing development long‐term abnormalities in pulmonary function. As neonates, 30 children had hyaline membrane disease (HMD) whom 21 required ventilation. Eighteen did not have HMD, 9 ventilation for nonrespiratory reasons. All patients grown normally. Four 48...
Eosinophilic gastroenteritis most commonly involves the stomach and proximal small intestine with eosinophilic inflammation of either mucosa, submucosa or serosa. The patient reported here had isolated colitis. initial presentation iron deficiency anaemia owing to occult gastrointestinal blood loss emphasises need evaluate entire tract in patients gastroenteritis.
