Serial US scans should be used to confirm a progressive shrinkage of the lesion. Corticosteroids and β2-adrenergic antagonists have no proven effect in treating RICH. If the lesion grows, percutaneous needle biopsy is recommended to exclude a malignant tumour and to direct further management. Infants with cardiac failure should be treated medically. Embolization (with or without needle biopsy) should only be performed when this strategy fails.

Intraoperative MRI (ioMRI) makes it possible to obtain scans during a neurosurgical operation that can aid complete macroscopic tumour resection — a major prognostic factor in the majority of brain tumours in children. Intra-operative MRI can also help limit damage to normal brain tissue. It therefore has the potential to improve the survival of children with brain tumours and to minimise morbidity, including neurological deficits. The use of ioMRI is also likely to reduce the need for second look surgery, and may reduce the need for chemotherapy and radiotherapy. High-field MRI systems provide better anatomical information and also enable effective utilisation of advanced MRI techniques such as perfusi...

Similar lesions were found in other bones of the axial and appendicular skeleton. Despite the paucity of clinical symptoms and absence of laboratory data suggesting systemic mastocytosis, the diagnosis of an indolent form of this disorder was made based on radiographic signs and confirmed by biopsy.

Findings that have been described in the setting of EE such as food impaction, a ringed esophagus, a small-caliber esophagus and esophageal stricture do not occur with a high enough frequency to reliably make a diagnosis.

Radiological study of historical specimens http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=5586626&cid=s_33305_37_f&fid=33305&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.springerlink.com%2Fcontent%2F453412111p3l7632%2F Conclusion  Asplenia and polysplenia are considered reliable indicators of right and left isomerism, respectively. However, three of our four specimens had laterality patterns that did not correspond with those previously reported. Since no other parameters of laterality defects could be verified in these specimens, we concluded that asplenia was unlikely to be caused by laterality defects.

The use of this modality for this particular application has not been previously described. Detection of red nucleus changes seems to be facilitated by the contrast mechanism of SWI over conventional MRI sequences. SWI can be considered in the evaluation of these patients and in the future might provide a means for further classification of patients with HOD and related symptomatology.

As treatments develop for the underlying disorders, a non-invasive assessment of liver fibrosis would be beneficial as an adjunct or possible replacement for the traditional gold standard, liver biopsy. Magnetic resonance elastography is a noninvasive imaging technique that has been used successfully in adults for identification and assessment of liver fibrosis. This review describes the basic principles of MR elastography as well as the technical aspects specific to children. Clinical pediatric applications, limitations and areas for future research are described. Content Type Journal ArticleCategory ReviewPages 1-8DOI 10.1007/s00247-011-2298-6Authors Larry A.

CE-MRA is challenging in children because of patient motion, difficulty in obtaining intravenous access, and the inability of young patients to perform a breath-hold during imaging. The combination of pediatric-specific difficulties in imaging and the safety concerns regarding the risk of gadolinium-based contrast agents in patients with impaired renal function has renewed interest in the use of non-contrast (NC) MRA techniques. At our institution, we have optimized 3-D NC-MRA techniques for abdominal imaging. The purpose of this work is to demonstrate the utility of an inflow-enhanced, inversion recovery balanced steady-state free precession-based (b-SSFP) NC-MRA technique. ...

Precise anatomical information is required to plan surgery and predict prognosis for children with this abnormality. Conventional fluoroscopic studies provide limited information, primarily due to the overlap of structures and inability to make accurate measurements. Rotational fluoroscopy and 3-D reconstruction help clarify overlapping structures and allow for precise measurement of the common channel, thereby helping to predict the complexity of the surgical case as well as the long-term prognosis regarding bowel, bladder and sexual function.

Ninety-two percent of all exposures were between half and double the target exposure. Although only one vendor’s equipment was used, these data establish a practical reference range of exposures for neonatal portable radiographs that can be recommended to other hospitals for neonatal chest radiographs.

During corrective surgery, the right superior vena cava (RSVC) was damaged and re-anastomosed to the right atrium. Echocardiography showed increased flow velocity in the pulmonary venous confluence. Therefore, pulmonary venous obstruction was suspected. However, subsequent cardiac MRI revealed a stenosed RSVC as well as a dilated left superior vena cava (LSVC) draining from the left innominate vein into the pulmonary venous confluence. The re-recruited LSVC drained deoxygenated blood into the systemic circulation, causing cyanosis. After uncomplicated placement of a stent in the narrowed RSVC and occlusion of ...

Preoperative imaging with US, CT and MR is directed to demonstrate patency and size of the left portal vein and SMV, to define the extent of cavernous transformation and splanchnic collaterals, and to assess for any associated abdominal vascular or solid organ abnormalities. Postoperative imaging is aimed at diagnosing meso-Rex bypass stenosis or occlusion and the interventional management of these complications.

We present three cases with the bulk of the tumor below the diaphragm, which is seen in the minority of patients with NUT midline carcinoma, according to the available literature. Metastatic disease is common at initial presentation and can be quite extensive. The most striking feature of this disease is its aggressive nature with exponential interval growth of tumor.

Unaware of these prior descriptions, and without a precise preoperative diagnosis, Willis Potts in Chicago performed the first successful sling repair in 1953. In 1976, Cohen and Landing described Scheid’s combination of left pulmonary artery sling and stenosis caused by complete tracheal rings, and the term “ring-sling complex” was introduced by Berdon in 1984. Four years later, Wells and Landing noted characteristic tracheobronchial malformations associated with these lesions and proposed a classification that has been confirmed to be clinically relevant in recent cros...

This rare non-familial syndrome generally involves two disparate tumours: gastrointestinal stromal tumour, paraganglioma and/or pulmonary chondroma. The complete triad is a syndrome that involves at least five loci: stomach, oeophagus, lung, the paraganglionic system, adrenal (cortex or medulla). The pathogenesis is unclear as these tumours have different embryological origins. Surgical treatment is necessary, and long-term follow-up is advisable as patients with Carney triad may re-present with tumour(s), even several years after the first presentation.

The lifetime complication rate from a Meckel diverticulum is 0.5%–2%. The most common complications include bleeding, obstruction, inflammation and perforation. However, the clinical manifestations of a Meckel diverticulum are frequently nonspecific. As a result, complications secondary to Meckel diverticulitis can mimic a variety of more common intra-abdominal processes, such as appendicitis, inflammatory bowel disease and any other cause of small bowel inflammation or obstruction. The radiologist should be aware of potential manifestations of the disease on different imaging modalities. In this pictorial ess...

During work-up of headaches in a 13-year-old girl, MRI revealed multiple cystic subarachnoid masses in the posterior fossa and spinal canal. She underwent posterior fossa craniectomy and was found to have multicentric subarachnoid chordomas with positive CSF cytology. Six years after the operation and radiotherapy, the girl is without neurological deficits despite persistent multiple subarachnoid cystic masses.

DWI is effective in confirming these injuries and easily demonstrates injury if performed prior to 1 week of age. The restricted diffusion demonstrated after this time could be attributed to continued injury.

The diagnosis of pelvic congestion syndrome was suggested by imaging modalities, including sonography, CT and MRI, with classically described imaging findings. The girl underwent diagnostic laparoscopy, where visual inspection demonstrated congested pelvic veins and endometriosis. After removal of endometrial implants, the child’s pain persisted and she subsequently underwent venography and embolization of the ovarian veins. We found no literature describing pelvic venous congestion (PVC) in children. Knowledge that PVC exists in children is important, particularly for pediatric radiologists who are imaging patients with complaints of pelvic pain. Content Type J...

The facial uptake is probably the FDG PET equivalent of Cushingoid facies. Caution in interpreting scans with this altered FDG uptake pattern is suggested, as uptake at sites of lymphomatous involvement may potentially be affected.

The child did not respond to conservative management, and subsequent lymphadenopathy led to a lymph node biopsy demonstrating an anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)+ anaplastic large cell lymphoma. Esophageal perforation and thickening is most commonly seen in children with a history of esophageal intervention or foreign body/caustic ingestion. Esophageal involvement in children with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) has not, to our knowledge, been reported in the literature. This case illustrates an unusual presentation of pediatric NHL.

With improved survival of children with congenital heart disease, long-term complications of the Fontan circuit are being encountered more frequently. Radiologists are more likely to see both the cardiac and extracardiac complications of the Fontan circuit. Awareness of the common extracardiac complications in children with failing Fontan circuits will aid the radiologist in making the appropriate diagnosis and guide the cardiologist caring for these patients.

Investigations have recently drawn on the similar radiographic features of those conditions to define a new family of skeletal dysplasias caused by mutations in the transient receptor potential cation channel vanilloid 4 (TRPV4). This review demonstrates the significance of radiography in the discovery of a new bone dysplasia family due to mutations in a single gene.

The diagnosis is usually established by the ophthalmologist on the basis of fundoscopy and US. Together with US, high-resolution MRI has emerged as an important imaging modality for pretreatment assessment, i.e. for diagnostic confirmation, detection of local tumor extent, detection of associated developmental malformation of the brain and detection of associated intracranial primitive neuroectodermal tumor (trilateral retinoblastoma). Minimum requirements for pretreatment diagnostic evaluation of retinoblastoma or mimicking lesions are presented, based on consensus among members of the European Retinoblastoma Imaging Collaboration (ERIC). The most appropriate techniques for imaging in a child with l...

We propose that the worsening proteinuria post-angioplasty was caused by a transient renal hyperperfusion injury that overcame the glomerular autoregulatory mechanisms, thereby leading to raised intraglomerular pressures and loss of proteins through the glomerular filtration barrier until the vascular autoregulatory ability of the glomeruli was successfully re-established.

The radiological manifestations of DIRA syndrome include multifocal osteitis of the ribs and long bones, heterotopic ossification and periarticular soft-tissue swelling. Thus, the pediatric radiologist should be made aware of this novel disease because its radiographic findings can mimic multiple other disease entities. With knowledge of the unique clinical presentation of DIRA syndrome and its multiple radiographic manifestations, the pediatric radiologist may be the first to suggest the correct diagnosis.

LDS exhibits a more aggressive course than similar disorders, such as Marfan or the vascular subtype of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, with morbidity and mortality typically resulting from complications of aortic/arterial dissections. Early diagnosis, short-interval follow-up imaging and prophylactic surgical intervention are essential in preventing catastrophic cardiovascular complications. This review focuses on the cardiovascular, neuroradiological and musculoskeletal imaging findings in this disorder and recommendations for fo...

In this pictorial essay, we review the two most common brain injury patterns, posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) and acute toxic leukoencephalopathy (ATL). Proposed etiologies, salient features on neurological imaging, and methods for differentiating these entities and their implications will be discussed. Certain agents do not fall into these two broad patterns but instead characteristically involve central structures. We individually review several medications and their respective neurotoxic appearances including methotrexate, cyclosporine A, tacrolimus, metronidazole and vigabatrin. Diagnosis of medication neurotoxicity may be achieved by the combination of new-o...

To evaluate the efficacy of PROMO, four T1-weighted image volumes (two with PROMO enabled, two uncorrected) were acquired for each of nine children. A radiologist, blind to whether PROMO was used, rated image quality and artifacts on all sagittal slices of every volume. These ratings were significantly better in scans collected with PROMO relative to those collected without PROMO (Mann-Whitney U test, P < 0.0001). The use of PROMO, especially in motion-prone patients, should improve the accuracy of measurements made for clinical care and research, and potentially reduce the need for sedation in...

US revealed multiple anechoic cyst-like lesions in the body of left epididymis. These cysts showed tubular echogenic internal structures with peculiar twirling motion. This was recognised as the sonographic filarial dance-sign of live adult filarial worms. The boy subsequently underwent needle aspiration of the lesion, which microscopically demonstrated microfilaria of Wuchereria bancrofti. Our report includes an online video clip that will help familiarise readers with the filarial dance. Content Type Journal ArticlePages 1-2DOI 10.1007/s00247-011-2190-4Authors Gurucharan S.

Subsequent imaging revealed renal lymphangiomatosis, multiple anomalous intra-abdominal venous channels, an interrupted inferior vena cava with a persistent primitive hepatic venous plexus (PPHVP) and meningeal angiomas. To the best of our knowledge, the CT findings of PPHVP and the combination of the demonstrated abnormalities have not been previously reported.

The etiology of the disorder is still incompletely understood, though the pulmonary hypoplasia and pulmonary hypertension that develop secondarily must be overcome to improve survival. Prenatal US and fetal MRI have helped in the development of a greater understanding of this disease. Also with these modalities, measurement techniques have been developed in an attempt to provide prognosticators for the development of pulmonary hypoplasia and pulmonary hypertension. There is a broad range of approaches for performing these measurements, and variability among imaging centers is noted. Despite inconsistent approaches, these techniques ha...

TMIH were difficult to appreciate on GI contrast examinations, but paraduodenal hernias were easy to appreciate. One must have a high index of suspicion for right paraduodenal hernia if UGI series shows duodenum and proximal small bowel to the right of the spine.

Leptomeningeal involvement had not been present at 2 years of age, but was demonstrated on CT and MRI at 10 years of age. Our case demonstrates follow-up neuroimaging features of ECCL that may be helpful to radiologists in suggesting the correct diagnosis, as ocular and cutaneous lesions may be non-specific clinically. The developmental nature of leptomeningeal involvement in our case suggests that close clinical and radiological follow-up is important in children with suspected or established ECCL.

The neonatal period provides a unique opportunity for detecting uterine anomalies by sonography. An MCDK usually involutes and eventually mimics renal agenesis later in life.

Hence, in an adequately selected patient population, the role of CCA could be limited almost only to therapeutic procedures.
