The aim of this study was to audit the pattern of use of the Hakim (Medos) programmable valve implanted in patients with complex hydrocephalus and their clinical outcome
Abstract:
The objective of the investigation was to determine the pattern of use of the Hakim (Medos) programmable valve implanted in patients with complex hydrocephalus and their clinical outcome. A prospective audit of patients with complex hydrocephalus undergoing Hakim programmable valve implantation between 1989 and 1994 in the United Kingdom and Ireland, was followed-up for a minimum of 5 more...

Abstract:
AIM: The aim of this report was to assess the effects of radiotherapy (RT) in children with abdominopelvic tumours in whom a biodegradable (Polyglactin 910) mesh had been inserted prior to commencement of radiotherapy. METHODS: Retrospective analysis was carried out of four patients with abdominopelvic tumours who underwent radiotherapy between 2000 and 2002 as part of their management. more...

The aim of this study was to examine four children who had cerebellar involvement with significant mass effect in posterior fossa on CT and MRI brain - finding acute demyelinating events with rhombencephalitis
Abstract:
Acute, acquired demyelination of central nervous system in childhood leads to a variety of clinical phenotypes dependant on the site of demyelination and presence of encephalopathy. Posterior fossa involvement is seen in over third of cases in childhood. We report on four children who had cerebellar involvement with significant mass effect in posterior fossa on CT and MRI brain.

This study examined the spectrum of adrenal disease in childhood and presents the information as a series of radiological appearances
Abstract:
Adrenal lesions in children may present with an asymptomatic adrenal mass lesion, an endocrinopathy, a hypertensive or metabolic crisis or a paraneoplastic syndrome. Some of the underlying disease processes remain localised within the adrenal gland or may develop into disseminated disease. The role of the radiologist is to confirm the adrenal location of a lesion and to document any more...

This case report discusses a case of 4q deletion syndrome, presenting with asymptomatic bilateral disk swelling
Abstract:
Terminal deletion of chromosome 4q is a genetic abnormality associated predominantly with cardiac abnormalities, abnormal facial features, and developmental delay. A specific clinical clue to this infrequently diagnosed disorder is hypoplasia of the terminal phalanx of the fifth finger with an abnormal nail, occasionally extending onto the volar surface. Ocular manifestations of the more...

This case report discusses a case arising in an 11-year-old male patient, who presented with a 6-month history of right-sided nasal obstruction
Abstract:
Chondro-osseous respiratory epithelial adenomatoid hamartoma (COREAH) of the nasal cavity is an exceedingly rare benign lesion of the nasal cavity. We report a case arising in an 11-year-old male patient, who presented with a 6-month history of right-sided nasal obstruction. Examination revealed a large fleshy, tender polyp in the right nasal cavity. Computed tomography (CT) and more...

This case report discusses a 5-year-old boy with presented with an infected left-sided branchial fistula
Abstract:
A 5-year-old boy presented with an infected left-sided branchial fistula. Despite antibiotic treatment and repeated excision of the fistula, purulent discharge from the wound persisted. Three-dimensional computed tomography (3D CT) reconstruction greatly facilitated the diagnosis and management of this case by showing the course of the fistulous tract. The complexity of the tract more...

This study investigated what proportion of autosomal recessive condition characterized by deafness and goitre were due to mutation of the Pendred syndrome gene
Abstract:
Although the textbook view of Pendred syndrome is that of an autosomal recessive condition characterized by deafness and goitre, it is increasingly clear that not all such patients present this classical clinical picture. Malformations of the inner ear, specifically enlargement of the vestibular aqueduct, are common in Pendred syndrome and mutations in the PDS (Pendred Syndrome) gene more...

This case report discusses pathological features of gastric stromal tumors in children
Abstract:
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) in children are rare and their behavior has been regarded as difficult to predict on pathological criteria. We report our experience with two gastric GISTs in children aged 10 and 11 years. Both remain alive and free of disease at 5 years and 2 years respectively. Comparison of the pathological features in the resected specimens with a recently more...

This case report discusses a case of traumatic Hangman's fracture in a child under the age of 3 years and the only case where there is a strong probability of child abuse
Abstract:
This report highlights the difficulties associated with diagnosing cervical spine injuries in children especially as the history and mechanism of injury may often be unclear and the normal variations in roentgenographic appearance may be confusing. As far as we are aware this is only the second case of traumatic Hangman's fracture in a child under the age of 3 years and the only case more...

This study examined high resolution computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging in the pre-operative assessment of cochlear implant patients
Abstract:
Optimal imaging protocols for cochlear implantation have yet to be determined. Pre-operative computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance image (MRI) scans are used to assess cochlear anatomy and patency, to delineate surgical access, and to aid in choice of side for implantation. However, opinion still differs as to which modality provides more information in pre-operative more...

BACKGROUND: Nonenhancing brain lesions can be relatively poorly defined on volumetric data sets routinely used for surgical guidance. Fluid-attenuated inversion recovery MRI sequences can provide better margin visualization of nonenhancing or poorly enhancing lesions. METHODS: Using image fusion programs, we combined data sets of SPGR imaging pulse sequence or volumetric CT with more...

This case report discusses the management of a large bronchial haemangioma in an infant
Abstract:
Haemangiomas are the most common soft tissue tumor of infancy. Despite the benign and trivial nature of most cutaneous haemangiomas, airway haemangiomas are rare but potentially life threatening. We report the case of a 9-week-old infant with a left main stem bronchial haemangioma. This was successfully treated with the oral corticosteroids. We discuss the current available treatments more...

This study presented six cases of mucinous tumours of the ovary in perimenarchal girls
Abstract:
Ovarian masses in children are an uncommon occurrence. They represent less than 2% of all tumours in girls less than 16 years of age. Mucinous tumours of the ovary occur principally in middle adult life and are extremely rare prior to menarche. To the best of our knowledge, there are only 13 previous cases of benign mucinous cystadenoma (MCA) of the ovary in perimenarchal girls reported more...

These case reports discuss two cases of osteomyelitis of the ischiopubic synchondrosis and describe findings on radiographs, isotope bone scan, computed tomograph and magnetic resonance imaging
Abstract:
Osteomyelitis of the ischiopubic synchondrosis in children is not rare and presents a diagnostic problem because of the diversity of presentation and the deceptive nature of symptoms. Radiological assessment is extremely difficult because of the variation in normal ossification on radiography and normal physiological uptake on radioisotope bone scan. We present two cases of more...
