Though significant advances in neuroimaging, neurosurgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy have evolved over the years, overall survival rate remains less than 75%. Malignant gliomas, high risk medulloblastoma with recurrence and infant brain tumors continue to be a major cause of therapeutic frustration. Even today diffuse pontine gliomas are universally fatal. Though tumors like low grade glioma have an overall excellent survival, recurrences and progression in eloquent areas pose therapeutic challenges.

It may be congenital (muscular hypoplasia) or acquired (injury of the phrenic nerve). Diaphragmatic eventration has been reported alone or in association with other malformations. Here the authors are presenting a case of eventration of diaphragm with gastric duplication cysts because they could not find such association in the available English literature.

The normally related heart (levocardia) is dextroposed due to the hypoplastic right lung and compensatory hyper-inflation of the opposite lung which clinically mimicked a mirror-image situs inversus totalis. Such a combination, to the best of authors’ knowledge, has never been reported in the world literature.

It is more common in children then older age group. The authors report two cases of unusual foreign bodies in the larynx which presented with complaints of sudden onset of change of voice without any respiratory difficulty. One was of 9 y and other was a 7-y-old boy with foreign body in the glottis. In both cases there was accidental inhalation of the FB which was immediately followed by difficulty of speech. Metallic foreign bodies were removed successfully by direct laryngoscopy under general anesthesia (GA) which is followed by recovery of the symptoms.

Chief organs involved in this disease are heart, subcutaneous tissue, eyes and kidneys. Nervous system involvement is very rare. Objective manifestation of neurological involvement is even rarer. The authors report two cases from the same family, who were victims of epidemic dropsy along with their parents. One of them showed objective neurologic involvement in the form of brachial neuritis and another showed palatal palsy.

A total of 27 cases of neonatal tetanus were admitted over a period of 36 mo. Out of these 27 neonates, 17 died and thus the overall mortality was 63%. The mean age of onset of symptoms in those who survived was 8.1 ± 2.02 d whereas in those who died was 5.7 ± 1.39 d, which was statistically significant (p = 0.001). The babies with age of onset <7 d were almost 5 times more likely to die than those manifesting at 7 d or later. Thus, NT is still contributing to neonatal deaths especially in the backward areas of the country and onset of symptoms within a wk of birth is a ...

Symptoms and signs are neither sufficiently sensitive nor specific, hence a high index of suspicion and vigilance are needed for early recognition. Immediate goal of management is to prevent / reverse herniation and to maintain good cerebral perfusion pressure. The therapeutic measures include stabilization of airway, breathing and circulation, along with neutral neck position, head end elevation by 30°, adequate sedation and analgesia, minimal stimulation, and hyperosmolar therapy (mannitol or 3% saline). Short-term hyperventilation (to achieve PCO2 ≈ 30 mm Hg) using bag ventilation can be resorted to if...

The present case aims to emphasize that TRALI should be kept as a differential diagnosis in all groups of patients, including neonates, who develop acute respiratory distress and fresh lung infiltrations in the chest radiograph within 6 h of blood component transfusion in the absence of evidence of volume overload or cardiac dysfunction. Its recognition is important in view of the associated illness and death, for instituting correct management, and for eliminating implicated donors from donor panels.

There is rapid emergence of multi-drug resistant (MDR) Shigella spp. resulting in poor reliability of first line antibiotics like quinolones, co-trimoxazole and ampicillin. Ceftriaxone has been used as a reserved antibiotic for treatment of MDR Shigella spp. The authors report a case of ceftriaxone resistant Shigella flexneri successfully managed with meropenem. As occurrence of ceftriaxone resistant Shigella is still rare, the objective of reporting this case is to highlight the possible failure of ceftriaxone in treating shigellosis which if not detected timely can result in mortality.

This article includes case reports of two patients who had bifrontal involvement during acute febrile encephalopathy. Case 1 describes a 1-y-old boy who presented with hyperpyrexia and dialeptic seizures. Imaging revealed significant bilateral frontal lobe involvement while serology proved presence of Influenza B infection. Over a period of one wk, he recovered with significant cognitive decline and perseveratory behavior. Another 6-y-old boy presented with language and behavioral problems suggestive of frontal dysfunction after recovering from prolonged impairment of consciousness following a convulsive status epilepticus.

These results are vital especially in the management of sick children although in some cases, they may be helpful in identifying those with inherited bleeding disorders and to confirm or exclude non-accidental injury. Despite the usefulness of these screening tests, it is important that the professionals who are responsible for the care of children interpret the results of these tests in the most accurate manner to avoid unnecessary further investigations and inappropriate management.

Another form of diabetes, Maturity Onset Diabetes of the Young (MODY), should also be considered especially in those whose clinical presentation is atypical for type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Although testing for MODY is a challenge, testing in appropriate patients and family members should be standard of care. Knowledge of the genetic etiology of the type of diabetes will enable appropriate treatment and optimize outcomes, allow more accurate prediction of disease progression, as well as allow screening for and the diagnosis of MODY in family members.

An 11-mo-old girl with microcephaly, developmental delay and nystagmus presented with nephrotic syndrome. The perinatal and neonatal periods had been uneventful. The renal biopsy revealed mesangial proliferation with IgM deposition, while MRI of the brain showed hypomyelination. Molecular diagnosis by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) did not reveal any pathogenic sequences in the exons and the flanking intronic regions of the NPHS2 gene and LAMB2 gene. The infant responded to prednisolone. GMS must be suspected whenever microcephaly and global developmental delay occurs in association with nephrotic synd...

The commonest genes implicated in its genetic etiology are those encoding growth hormone (GH1) and the receptor for GH-releasing hormone (GHRHR). Rarely, IGHD may be caused by mutations in transcription factors (HESX1, SOX3, OTX2) or be the first presentation before the development of other pituitary hormone deficiencies. IGHD has been classified in four genetic forms (type IA, IB, II and III). Despite the increasing number of genes implicated in the etiology of IGHD, mutations in known genes account only for a small percentage of cases; therefore, other as yet unidentified factors may be implicated in it...

However, surfactant therapy has been shown to be effective in the treatment of other diseases causing neonatal respiratory diseases such as pulmonary hemorrhage, meconium aspiration syndrome, pneumonia/sepsis, pulmonary edema or acute lung injury resulting a secondary surfactant deficiency (SSD). Rarely, as like as in the present patient, exogenous blood aspiration such as breast milk or formula aspiration may lead to SSD. Blood in alveolus leads to a significant biochemical and functional disturbance of the surfactant system and inhibits surfactant production. Here, the authors report a preterm infant of 33 wk gestational age with secondary surfactant deficiency d...

Among children, the incidence ranges from 4-38/100,000 children per year respectively. The incidence in developing countries is somewhat higher because of infections. Although, the definition of status epilepticus is based on duration of seizures, the operational definition is to treat any child who is brought seizing to the emergency room, as status epilepticus. An urgent time bound approach is of paramount importance when managing a child in status epilepticus. Benzodiazepines remain the first line antiepileptic drugs in the emergency room; a long acting drug (Lorazepam) is preferred when available. This is followed by Phenytoin (20 mg/kg) loading. In patients ...

Biosimilar drugs are cheaper than the originator/comparator drug. The regulatory foundation for these products is more advanced and better codified in Europe than in the US. Biosimilar soamtropin has been approved in both the US and Europe. The scientific viability of biosimilar drugs and especially growth hormone has been proven by several rigorously conducted clinical trials. Efficacy and safety data (growth rates, IGF-1 generation) for up to 7 y for pediatric indications measure up favorably to previously approved growth hormones which served as reference comparators.

This is consequent to the inherent difficulty in defining criteria for IGF-1 deficiency, and in determining the outcome of rhIGF-1 therapy in terms of growth rate and adult height. The rationale for its efficacy compared with rhGH (recombinant human growth hormone) for treatment of short stature is still widely debated. Additionally, adverse events such as increased intracranial pressure and hypoglycemia are of therapeutic concern. The goal of this article is to review published data that describes the impact of IGF-1 therapy in treatment of short statur...

By 1958, three separate laboratories utilizing different extraction methods retrieved hGH from human pituitaries, purified it and used for clinical investigation. By 1959 presumed GHD patients were being given native hGH collected and extracted by various methods. Since 1 mg of hGH was needed to treat one patient per day, >360 human pituitaries were needed per patient per year. Thus, the availability of hGH was limited and was awarded on the basis of clinical research protocols approved by the National Pituitary Agency (NPA) established in 1961. hGH was dispensed and injected on a milligram weight basis with ...

A cross sectional study was conducted in school children from urban slums of Bangalore. Blood pressure was recorded according to standard guidelines using a mercury sphygmomanometer and an automated device (Datascope Duo). The readings obtained using the two instruments were compared. One thousand four hundred eighty nine school children, both males and females, aged 5–16 y were included in the study. Readings with the Datascope Duo varied significantly when compared to the gold standard. The blood pressure measurements using Datascope Duo cannot be recommended as an accurate substitute for manual readings. Content Type Journal A...

Clinical and epidemiologic features support an infectious cause, but the etiology remains unclear. The authors present a case of Kawasaki disease associated with Epstein-Barr virus and Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection in a 3.5-y-old boy. He received two doses of intravenous immunoglobulin due to prolonged course of Kawasaki disease but later had complicated autoimmune haemolytic anaemia. His prolonged fever subsided after azithromycin administration. Epstein-Barr virus infection was confirmed by molecular microbiological pathology of cervical lymph node and serological t...

Paradoxically, it remains a controversial issue in a large part of patients, those considered as having isolated GHD of the idiopathic milder form. Challenges remain in this area in spite of intensive and sometimes controversial studies. This is true for the diagnosis of the milder forms (also called partial GHD), for the assessment of the growth response and the evaluation of final height benefit. In addition the cost-benefit issue should not be ignored. Therefore, the author tried to review data relevant to the evaluation of GH secretion which even now remains largely arbitrary. The growth response, which is the primary therapeutic goal in these children should also be carefu...

Care has to be instituted to identify accurately infectious diseases and distinguish them from benign transient neonatal dermatoses. Some disorders first manifesting during the neonatal period may also represent harbingers of potential problems during adulthood. Finally, treatment modalities are instituted taking in account the actual diagnosis and judging if the treatment really is required or not.

The authors report a case of PKS in a 2-y-old boy. He had pigmentary skin changes, characteristic facial features, developmental delay and hearing loss. He had sacral and post-auricular pits in addition, which has not yet been reported. A diagnosis of PKS was suspected on the basis of the patient’s clinical features. Skin fibroblast culture was done which showed mosaic tetrasomy of isochromosome 12p consistent with Pallister-Killian syndrome.

Secondary causes of headache outnumber the primary entities such as migraine. Most of the secondary headaches have benign etiologies. The goal of emergent evaluation is to detect those with serious or life threatening causes. Identifying the pattern of headache helps in narrowing down the possible etiological diagnosis. A single episode of acute headache usually results from an acute infection ranging from viral URI to acute meningitis. Acute recurrent headaches are typically a feature of migraine. Chronic progressive headaches often indicate a serious underlying pathology such as a brain tumor and warrant a detailed neurological examination for signs of raised intracranial pre...

Childhood obesity is a recent epidemic with a high magnitude in India. Therefore, the authors decided to assess the prevalence of overweight and obesity among Indian children. Studies were identified through computer-based and manual searches. Estimates of prevalence were studied using random effects meta-analysis. Nine studies including 92,862 subjects were identified and analysed. The prevalence of overweight was estimated to be 12.64% (95% CI 8.48–16.80%) and that of obesity to be 3.39% (95% CI 2.58–4.21%). Current evidence suggests that policies and interventions for children should prioritize reduction of obesity and overweight. Content Type Journal ArticleCate...

Poor skeletal growth is one of the long term morbidities of this condition, which is said to have a lesser effect on the skull growth. The present study was a retrospective observational study to compare the effect of rickets of prematurity on the linear and skull growth in the first year of life. In this retrospective analysis, 1 y follow-up records of extremely low birth weight (ELBW) babies born in five consecutive years and their anthropometric data were evaluated. ELBW babies with confirmed rickets of prematurity were taken as the study group and those without were taken as the control group and anthropometric values (head size and length) at various ages ...

Aplasia of sternomastoid muscle causing congenital torticollis, though rare, has been reported. However the association of cerebellar hypoplasia with sternomastoid aplasia is extremely rare. The authors describe a case of congenital torticollis due to absence of the left sternomastoid with ipsilateral cerebellar hypoplasia, confirmed by MRI.

Accuracy of diagnosis can be increased by classifications based on both clinical and histological findings. The authors report a case of siblings in whom hyperpigmentation started at age of about 6 mo and was progressing. Histology of skin revealed shortening and blunting of rete ridges with presence of melanocytes in stratum basal layer. This is a rare type of hypermelanosis and termed as universal acquired melanosis or carbon baby syndrome. This is a rare presentation and first case report in siblings.

The official figure of 1.5 million cases annually is a gross under-estimation of the true incidence and the actual figures are estimated to be 10–100 times higher. The National Vector Borne Disease Control Programme (NVBDCP) directorate is the main body responsible for malaria control in India. Newer strategies including insecticide treated bednets, longlasting insecticidal bednets and rapid diagnostic tests have been used for malaria control in the last decade. Global assistance has come from the World Bank and Global fund in the form of Enhanced Malaria Control Programme(EMCP) and Intensified Malaria Control Programme(IMCP) respectively.

The study is unique due to its large geographically representative design and identification of the problem using simplified screening approach and tools, which minimizes the number and time of specialist requirement and spares the expensive investigation. This approach and tools are suitable for field situations and resource scarce settings. Based on the authors’ experience, they express the need for more prevalence studies, remedial education and policy interventions to manage SpLDs at main stream educational system to improve the school performance in Indian children.

It can result from wide range of etiologies. CNS infections are the most common cause of non traumatic coma in children. However, multiple interrelated factors may be present in one patient. Management of a comatose child goes hand in hand with clinical evaluation. It is an emergency that requires simultaneous institution of immediate life support, identification of the cause and institution of definite therapy. The primary goal is to establish airway, breathing and circulation and to identify and treat raised intracranial pressure and seizures.

Though subclinical myocarditis is rather common in KD, symptomatic congestive heart failure is extremely uncommon. The authors report a 9-y-old boy who developed heart failure (ejection fraction 28%) in the acute phase of KD. He was initially treated with intravenous immunoglobulin (2 g/kg) without much clinical improvement.
