Conclusion Anesthesia for pediatric patients undergoing surgery where IONM is being performed is consistent with the practice and principles
of anesthesia for adults. Although PRIS has not caused major alterations in most patients, concern has modified the practice
of some anesthesiologists.

Laparoscopic retrieval of disconnected shunt catheters from the peritoneal cavity as a day-case procedure in children—early feasibility reportEmail this article to a colleague.

Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions Peritoneally migrated shunt catheters have a risk of viscus injury, particularly bowel perforation. In our experience, laparoscopic
retrieval of migrated shunt catheters was safe both as an emergency procedure and electively, when it was performed as a day-case
basis in selected patients with excellent outcome.

Accidental drownings are severe and sometimes mortal events in children. Our study aims to better clarify the epidemiology and the respiratory complications of these accidents in our hospital. We led a retrospective study over 10 years concerning the children hospitalized for accidental drowning in our hospital centre. Age at the moment of the accident, sex, history of accident, hospitable care, thoracic imaging and neurological outcome of the children were studied. In total, 83 children were hospitalized (5 years on average, 70% being boys). The drowning especially took place in fresh water (71%), particularly in swim...

Surgical indications for vesico-ureteral reflux have become more selective and endoscopic treatment has now become part of therapeutic arsenal. However, it is important to know when to operate with uretero-vesical replantation if the ureters are severely dilated, before the acute pyelonephritis becomes recurrent in the setting of persisting reflux in girls or higher grade reflux.

The Wall Street Journal features a story about a Children’s Hospital Boston patient with congenital heart disease who was stricken with H1N1 and required a new heart valve. Because the boy was too sick to undergo open-heart surgery, James Lock, MD, led a team that implanted the new valve using a catheter. Lock and Peter Laussen, MD, chief of cardiovascular critical care at Children’s, talk about how H1N1 presents a serious problem for children with heart disease.
Last week, a multicenter study led by Children’s reported good preliminary results in 30 patients receiving this catheter-implanted valve, which...

“Has autism increased or hasn’t it?” As a researcher and psychologist with a specialty in developmental disabilities and autism spectrum disorders (ASDs), this is a question I get all the time. I wish I had a short answer, but I don’t. On the other hand, if you have a few minutes, read on.
The question is a really important one. A study just came out in Pediatrics, saying that the prevalence of ASDs is now one in 91 U.S. children – and one in 58 boys. This is much higher than the most recently quoted rate of one in 150. And that is up fro...

We report the case of an 8-month-old girl with a voluminous ulcerated hemangioma of the left forearm with a large, painful, central ulceration. Conventional treatment with topical and/or systemic antibiotics was unsuccessful. Flashlamp-pumped pulsed-dye laser (FPDL) could not be used because of the thickness of the lesions. We decided to use beta-blocker therapy (propanolol) for 4 months with a noteworthy efficacy. DISCUSSION: Systemic corticosteroids and FPDL are currently the reference treatment of the superficial hemangioma during infancy, but the head and neck location or complications such as ulceration or the need fo...

Discuss or comment on this article.
Cannabis is the most frequently used illegal drug in France. In 2007, the average age for a first use was 15.1 years. Most teenagers will limit their use to a few experiences or controlled use. However, for those who do become dependent, the lapse between the first use and dependence is brief (approximately 18 months) with an average of 28 months compared to tobacco (3-5 years) and alcohol (5-9 years). In light of this brief delay, it is crucial to quickly recognize adolescents who have problem cannabis use and to educate parents to warning signs and to teach them how to efficiently discuss the subject with their teena...

Discuss or comment on this article.
Delayed puberty is defined in girls by the absence of breast development beyond 13 years old and in boys by the absence of testicular enlargement (<4ml) beyond 14 years old. Simple investigations lead to the diagnosis of central or peripheral hypogonadism and constitutional delay of puberty. In girls, delayed puberty is rare and often organic, and then Turner syndrome should be systematically suspected. In boys, delayed puberty is often constitutional and functional. Treatment is etiologic when possible, hormonal replacement therapy (oestrogen in girls and testosterone in boys) and psychological management.

Discuss or comment on this article.
Tracheomalacia (TM) or bronchomalacia (BM) refers to softness or weakness of the trachea or the bronchi. Its management is not evidenced-based. Conservative therapy is preferred in milder cases, since the outcome is usually favourable within the first 2 years of life. The clinical utility of non-specific treatments (anti-inflammatory agents, bronchodilators, antibiotics, physiotherapy) has not been proven by clinical trials. Treatment of symptomatic cases should be discussed on an individual basis. Airway surgery should be avoided, and non-invasive ventilation may be proposed as a temporary measure. In case of very sev...

Although narcolepsy is a relatively uncommon condition, its impact on a child's life can be dramatic and disabling. Narcolepsy is characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), with brief "sleep attacks" at very unusual times and usually associated with cataplexy (sudden loss of muscle control while awake, resulting in a fall, triggered by laughter). Other symptoms frequently reported are sleep paralysis (feeling of being unable to move or speak, even totally aware), hypnagogic hallucinations (vivid dreamlike experiences difficult to distinguish from reality) or disturbed night time sleep. Some children also expe...

Conclusions Transcutaneous bilirubin levels plateau and then decrease after about 96 hours of life in healthy neonates, with some differences across populations. A bilirubin rate of rise higher than in the previous period implies that bilirubin production exceeds elimination and indicates high risk for subsequent hyperbilirubinemia in neonates.
