Background: Ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) is the most commonly performed procedure in the treatment of hydrocephalus in children. Shunt migration outside the peritoneal cavity is quite rare. This study describes one case of clear migration to the Fallopian tube and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) discharge from the vagina. Case description: A five-year-old female patient with VPS was admitted to the hospital with a 40-day history of abdominal pain, vomiting, and fever. She was in Glasgow Coma Scale 15, and she presented CSF discharge from the vagina. Abdominal ultrasonography and tomography showed a heterogeneous cyst involving the distal tip of the catheter close to the Fallopian tube. The patient underwent laparotomy with the aid of pediatric surgeons, which confirmed that the end of the distal catheter was present inside the right Fallopian tube. The catheter was repositioned in the peritoneal cavity without intercurrences. CSF examination showed absence of infection and negative culture. The patient was discharged from the hospital cured without requiring antibiotics. Conclusion: Abdominal complications involving the distal VPS catheter are frequently reported in the literature; distal catheter migration to the Fallopian tube with CSF discharge from the vagina, however, is a very rare presentation. Surgical repair, with a multidisciplinary team, to reposition the distal catheter in the peritoneal cavity was sufficient for adequate treatment of this patient.

Resumo Introdução: Distúrbios do Trato Urinário Inferior (DTUI) de causa funcional são disfunções vesicais sem defeitos anatômicos ou neurológicos. O diagnóstico é principalmente clínico, com sintomas padronizados pela International Children's Continence Society. Poucos estudos relacionam qualidade de vida destes pacientes ao nível cognitivo e aproveitamento escolar. Objetivos: Avaliar marcos do controle miccional, dificuldades cotidianas, qualidade de vida (QV), nível cognitivo e desempenho escolar de crianças portadoras de DTUI. Método: Série de casos de pacientes acompanhados na Nefrologia Pediátrica de hospital terciário com avaliação da QV (Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory - Peds-QL), Teste de Desempenho Escolar (TDE) e teste de matrizes progressivas de Raven. Resultados: Meninas de classe social menos favorecida foram 90,9% das crianças elegíveis. A média de idade foi 9,1 ± 4,8 anos. Os sintomas mais frequentes foram urge-incontinência (81%), manobras de contenção (77,3%) e enurese (59,1%) associados à síndrome do distúrbio de eliminações (63,6%). Cuidadores consideravam as perdas urinárias e/ou sintomas como voluntários, brigavam e/ ou batiam na criança. As crianças já tinham sido submetidas a situações constrangedoras e advertências de professores, escondiam sintomas e/ou roupas sujas. O escore médio de QV foi 71,0 ± 12,6 com menor média na dimensão escolar. No TDE 55% tiveram desempenho inferior e nas Matrizes de Raven 60% estavam intelectualmente em nível médio. Observaram-se escores menores de QV no nível médio e inferior do TDE e capacidade intelectual média/abaixo da média nas Matrizes de Raven. Conclusão: DTUI pode influenciar negativamente relações familiares e sociais, desempenho escolar e qualidade de vida das crianças portadoras.

ResumoObjetivo:Determinar a efetividade de 20 sessões de estimulação elétrica nervosa transcutânea (TENS) parassacral com periodicidade de duas vezes semanais no tratamento da urgência ou urge-incontinência urinária em crianças e adolescentes.Métodos:Ensaio clínico fase II, envolvendo pacientes com idade entre 5 e 14 anos com urgência ou urge-incontinência urinária. Realizadas 20 sessões de TENS, duas vezes por semana (aparelho Dualpex 961 Quark®). Os resultados foram avaliados pelo diário miccional, ultrassonografia dinâmica do trato urinário inferior (USGD-TUI) pré e pós-tratamento e questionário sobre perdas urinárias em cada sessão.Resultados:A idade média das 25 crianças envolvidas no estudo foi 7,80 ± 2,22 anos, sendo a maioria do sexo feminino (92%) e com urge-incontinência (92%). A comparação dos eventos de perda urinária pré e pós-tratamento foi estatisticamente significativa (p = 0,04); houve regressão do sintoma de perda urinária referida pelos acompanhantes em todas as crianças que completaram a 20ª sessão; os parâmetros da USGD-TUI, embora não estatisticamente significativos, demonstraram redução do percentual de crianças com contrações detrusoras (62,5% para 43,5%); maior adequação do volume vesical pré-miccional (4,2% versus 19,0%), respectivamente pré e pós-tratamento.Conclusões:A eletroestimulação realizada em duas sessões semanais demonstrou efetividade e metade dos pacientes apresentou regressão da incontinência urinária a partir da 12ª sessão, porém, é necessário maior número de pacientes para confirmação dos resultados obtidos.

Objetivos: comparar as características clínicas e parâmetros ultrassonográficos em um grupo de crianças e adolescentes, recentemente diagnosticados como portadores de doença celíaca, com um grupo controle. Métodos: estudo clínico conduzido com amostra de 20 pacientes recentemente diagnosticados com doença celíaca e 35 pacientes assintomáticos sem doença celíaca. Ultrassonografias abdominais foram realizadas em todos os pacientes. Os casos foram submetidos às ultrassonografias durante a fase de investigação diagnóstica, ainda consumindo glúten. Foram avaliados parâmetros ultrassonográficos e ao Doppler, relacionados às características das alças intestinais, linfonodomegalias e alterações no fluxo sanguíneo esplâncnico. As diferenças de proporções entre os grupos foram avaliadas pelos testes do quiquadrado e exato de Fisher e a diferença de médias pelo teste t de Student. Resultados: as principais manifestações clínicas relacionadas à doença celíaca foram as digestivas, como diarréia (12/20), dor abdominal (14/20) e distensão abdominal (15/20). Pacientes com doença celíaca apresentaram maior diâmetro transverso das alças do delgado (p=0,001), maior peristaltismo intestinal (p=0,002), aumento do conteúdo líquido intestinal (p=0,02), e maior espessura parietal (p

Pancreas transplantation is a well-established treatment for patients with complicated diabetes mellitus and advanced renal failure. The most common procedure is simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation, in which the pancreas graft is positioned in the right pelvic region and the kidney graft is positioned in the left iliac fossa. Various imaging methods are used for the post-transplantation evaluation of the graft parenchyma and vascular anatomy, as well as for the identification of possible complications. As the number of cases increases, it is fundamental that radiologists understand the surgical procedure and the postoperative anatomy, as well as to recognize the possible postoperative complications and their imaging aspects, with the aim of providing the best guidance in the postoperative management of transplant recipients.O transplante de pâncreas representa uma terapia bem estabelecida no tratamento de pacientes com diabetes mellitus complicada com insuficiência renal em estágios avançados. A maior parte ocorre em associação ao transplante renal (transplante simultâneo de pâncreas e rim), no qual se posiciona o enxerto pancreático na região pélvica direita e o enxerto renal na fossa ilíaca esquerda. Diversos métodos de imagem são utilizados para avaliação parenquimatosa dos enxertos, bem como a anatomia vascular e as possíveis complicações. A compreensão do procedimento cirúrgico, das técnicas utilizadas e da anatomia pós-cirúrgica é fundamental à medida que o número de casos aumenta, assim como conhecer as possíveis complicações associadas e seus aspectos de imagem, com a finalidade de proporcionar o melhor direcionamento no manejo pós-operatório de receptores de transplantes.

Adnexal torsion is characterized by partial or complete rotation of the suspensory ligament of the ovary and its corresponding vascular pedicle, resulting in vascular impairment that can culminate in hemorrhagic infarction, as well as necrosis of the ovary and fallopian tube. Because there are myriad causes of acute pelvic pain, the differential diagnosis of ovarian torsion is often challenging. Consequently, radiologists should be familiar with the main imaging findings. In this regard, there are typical signs of ovarian torsion on magnetic resonance imaging, including increased ovarian volume with stromal edema and peripheral distribution of the ovarian follicles, as well as thickening of the fallopian tube, an adnexal mass (causal factor) that shifts toward the midline, and the classic, pathognomonic “whirlpool sign”. The objective of this essay was to review and illustrate the various magnetic resonance imaging findings in ovarian torsion. Resumo A torção anexial é caracterizada por rotação parcial ou completa do ligamento suspensor do ovário e seu pedículo vascular correspondente, resultando em comprometimento vascular que pode culminar em infarto hemorrágico e necrose tecidual do ovário e da tuba uterina. Diante da gama de diagnósticos diferenciais de dor pélvica aguda, o diagnóstico é muitas vezes considerado desafiador, devendo o radiologista estar familiarizado com os principais achados de imagem. Nesse quesito, destacam-se os sinais característicos de torção anexial na ressonância magnética, incluindo aumento do volume ovariano com edema estromal, distribuição periférica de seus folículos, espessamento e edema da tuba uterina correspondente associados ou não à massa anexial - às vezes, fator predisponente - que se insinua para a linha média e, ainda, o clássico e patognomônico “sinal do redemoinho”. O objetivo deste ensaio é ilustrar e revisar os diferentes achados de torção ovariana detectados pela ressonância magnética.

AbstractObjective:To determine the effectiveness of 20 twice-weekly sessions of parasacral transcutaneous electrical neural stimulation (TENS) for treatment of urinary urgency and urge-incontinence in children and adolescents.Methods:A Phase II clinical trial was carried out with patients with urinary urgency or urge-incontinence aged between 5 and 14 years. Twenty TENS sessions were conducted, twice weekly, using a Quark® Dualpex 961 apparatus. The variables analyzed were daily micturition, dynamics ultrasonography of the lower urinary tract pre-and post-treatment and responses to a questionnaire on urinary leakage applied during each session.Results:The mean age of the 25 children participating in the study was 7.80 ± 2.22 years, most were female (92%) and had urge-incontinence (92%). The difference in urinary leakage pre- and post-treatment was statistically significant ( p = 0.04); a decline in the symptom of urinary leakage was reported by all caregivers in children who completed the 20th session; the ultrasound parameters, although not statistically significant, showed a reduction in the percentage of children with detrusor contractions (from 62.5% to 43.5%); and a more adequate pre-micturition bladder volume of 4.2% post-treatment compared with 19.0% prior to treatment.Discussion:The electro-stimulation carried out during the twice weekly sessions appeared to be effective and urinary incontinence declined in half of the patients from the 12th session onwards. However, there is a need for a study involving a larger number of patients to confirm the results obtained.

OBJETIVO: Diagnóstico precoce de distúrbios miccionais pode diminuir as repercussões sociais e psicológicas e evitar lesões renais. O jato ureteral pode ser avaliado por estudo Doppler, método que apresenta boa associação com dados clínicos dos pacientes no que diz respeito ao diagnóstico de disfunção miccional. O objetivo deste estudo é avaliar a concordância interobservadores entre os tipos de jato ureteral. MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: Estudo prospectivo de concordância interobservadores. Um total de 41 pacientes foi examinado sequencialmente por dois médicos ultrassonografistas. Para cada paciente, três curvas dopplerfluxométricas foram obtidas de jatos consecutivos de cada ureter. O número de picos em cada curva foi observado e classificado. A velocidade máxima do maior pico de cada onda foi observada. Coeficientes kappa (κ) foram calculados. RESULTADOS: A concordância interobservadores foi moderada (κ = 0,48; intervalo de confiança 95%: 0,36-0,60). O padrão platô foi o mais frequente. As velocidades máximas dos ureteres, medidas pelos dois observadores, foram de 32,37 cm/s e 35,63 cm/s, respectivamente. CONCLUSÃO: O exame das curvas dopplerfluxométricas do jato ureteral é método que demonstrou moderada concordância interobservadores.OBJECTIVE: Early diagnosis of voiding dysfunction can minimize social and psychological repercussions and avoid renal lesions. The ureteric jet can be evaluated by color Doppler, and a good correlation has been observed between this method and patients' clinical data in the diagnosis of voiding dysfunction. This study was aimed at evaluating the interobserver agreement in the assessment of the ureteral jet in asymptomatic children. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Interobserver agreement was prospectively evaluated. A total of 41 patients were sequentially evaluated by two medical sonographers. For each patient, three consecutive Doppler waveforms were obtained from each of the two ureteral jets. The number of peaks on each wave was observed and classified. The maximum velocity of the highest peak of each waveform was also observed. Kappa coefficients (κ) were calculated. RESULTS: Moderate interobserver agreement was observed (κ = 0.48; 95% confidence interval: 0.36-0.60). Most frequently a plateau pattern was observed for the ureteric jet. Maximum velocities measured by the two observers were respectively 32.37 cm/s and 35.63 cm/s. CONCLUSION: Moderate interobserver agreement was observed in the evaluation of the ureteric jet by means of color Doppler.

OBJETIVO: Comparar a qualidade de imagens ultrassonográficas do abdome de crianças, obtidas com e sem a instituição de jejum prévio. MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: Trata-se de estudo prospectivo, incluindo crianças com até 12 anos de idade. Os pacientes foram examinados sequencialmente por dois utrassonografistas e as imagens foram classificadas em escores: 1 (não visualizado ou parcialmente visualizado, inadequada para diagnóstico); 2 (suficientes para diagnóstico); 3 (excelentes). As imagens foram ainda classificadas como "diagnósticas" ou "não diagnósticas". RESULTADOS: Foram examinados 77 pacientes, sendo 47 meninos e 30 meninas, com idades entre 0 e 12 anos (mediana de 1 ano). Jejum se mostrou vantajoso de forma estatisticamente significativa apenas na avaliação da vesícula biliar, por apenas um dos avaliadores (p = 0,032). Depois de agrupadas em "diagnóstica" ou "não diagnóstica", nenhuma diferença foi observada entre os grupos. CONCLUSÃO: A instituição de jejum não afetou de forma significativa a qualidade das imagens de ultrassonografias abdominais obtidas em crianças.OBJECTIVE: The present study is aimed at comparing the quality of sonographic abdominal images obtained in fasting and non fasting children. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This is a prospective study including children aged up to 12 years sequentially evaluated by two sonographers. The images were classified according to a score as follows: 1 (non-visualized or partially visualized, inappropriate for diagnosis); 2 (sufficient for diagnosis); or 3 (excellent). Images were also classified into "diagnostic" or "non diagnostic". RESULTS: Seventy-seven patients (47 boys and 30 girls) with ages ranging between 0 and 12 years (median = 1 year) were evaluated. Fasting proved a statistically significant advantage only for evaluating the gallbladder by only one of the observers (p = 0.032). Once the images were classified into either "diagnostic" or "non diagnostic" no difference was observed between the two groups. CONCLUSION: The authors conclude that fasting did not affect significantly the quality of abdominal sonographic images in children.

OBJETIVO: Descrever as alterações nas variáveis da espirometria e seus distúrbios; estudar a existência de associação entre a extensão da lesão pulmonar residual ao final do tratamento da tuberculose e a alteração da função pulmonar aferida pela espirometria. MÉTODOS: Estudou-se uma série de 96 pacientes com diagnóstico de tuberculose pulmonar, atendidos em três unidades de saúde de Região Metropolitana do Recife, durante o período de janeiro de 2003 a novembro de 2005. Foram analisados pacientes de ambos os sexos, com idade a partir de 15 anos, cujas radiografias do tórax do final do tratamento foram classificadas pelo critério da National Tuberculosis Association (NTA). Os pacientes responderam questionário, no início da pesquisa, e foram submetidos à prova de função pulmonar, após o término do tratamento. RESULTADOS: Dos 96 pacientes estudados, concluímos que 89,6% apresentavam seqüelas radiográficas; 54% apresentavam seqüelas moderadas a graves. Estas alterações radiográficas correspondiam a 24,6% e 73,8%, respectivamente, de alterações na função pulmonar. CONCLUSÃO: Foram identificadas 89,6% de lesões residuais radiográficas, enquanto 66,7% das disfunções respiratórias alertam para o fato de que a assistência ao paciente com tuberculose pulmonar não deve se restringir apenas à cura baciloscópica da doença. A identificação de lesões pulmonares residuais e disfunções respiratórias em pacientes que concluem o tratamento da tuberculose permitirão instituir medidas precoces de tratamento dessas seqüelas para uma melhor qualidade de vida.OBJECTIVE: To describe alterations in spirometric variables and its disturbances and to study the existence of a relationship between extent of the residual lung lesion at the end of treatment for tuberculosis and alteration of the lung function measured by spirometry. METHODS: Analyzed were 96 patients with diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis, treated in three health centers in the metropolitan area of Recife, from January, 2003 to November, 2005. Patients of both genders, 15 years of age or older were included, whose chest x-rays at end of the treatment were classified according to criteria of the National Tuberculosis Association (NTA) for extent of lung lesion. Patients replied to a questionnaire at the beginning of the survey, and were submitted to spirometry after conclusion of treatment. RESULTS: Of the 96 patients, 89.6% presented with radiographic sequels. About 54% had moderate to severe sequels. These radiographic alterations correspond to 24.6% and 73.8% respectively of alterations in the pulmonary function. CONCLUSION: The large number of residual radiographic lesionss (89.6%) and breathing dysfunction (66,7%) identified in this survey call attention to the fact that treatment of a patient with pulmonary tuberculosis must not be restricted to bacteriological healing of the disease. Identification of the residual lung lesions and of the breathing dysfunction in patients who conclude treatment will promote early actions to treat these sequels, improving the quality of life of these patients.

Objective To evaluate the accuracy of computed tomography for local and lymph node staging of Wilms' tumor. Materials and Methods Each case of Wilms' tumor was evaluated for the presence of abdominal lymph nodes by a radiologist. Signs of capsule and adjacent organ invasion were analyzed. Surgical and histopathological results were taken as the gold standard. Results Sensitivity was 100% for both mesenteric and retroperitoneal lymph nodes detection, and specificity was, respectively, 12% and 33%, with positive predictive value of 8% and 11% and negative predictive value of 100%. Signs of capsular invasion presented sensitivity of 87%, specificity of 77%, positive predictive value of 63% and negative predictive value of 93%. Signs of adjacent organ invasion presented sensitivity of 100%, specificity of 78%, positive predictive value of 37% and negative predictive value of 100%. Conclusion Computed tomography tumor showed low specificity and low positive predictive value in the detection of lymph node dissemination. The absence of detectable lymph nodes makes their presence unlikely, and likewise regarding the evaluation of local behavior of tumors. Objetivo Avaliar a acurácia da tomografia computadorizada no estadiamento local e linfonodal de pacientes com tumor de Wilms. Materiais e Métodos Um radiologista avaliou a presença de linfonodos abdominais em cada caso. Sinais de invasão capsular e de órgão adjacente foram analisados. Resultados cirúrgicos e histopatológicos foram tomados como padrão ouro. Resultados A sensibilidade da detecção de linfonodos mesentéricos e retroperitoneais foi 100% (ambos) e a especificidade foi 12% e 33%, respectivamente, com valores preditivos positivos de 8% e 11% e negativos de 100% (ambos). Sinais de invasão capsular apresentaram sensibilidade de 87%, especificidade de 77% e valores preditivos positivo de 63% e negativo de 93%. Invasão de órgão adjacente foi diagnosticada com sensibilidade de 100%, especificidade de 78% e valores preditivos positivo de 37% e negativo de 100%. Conclusão A tomografia computadorizada mostrou baixa especificidade e valor preditivo positivo na detecção de disseminação linfonodal. Ausência de linfonodos detectáveis tornou a disseminação improvável, assim como sinais de invasão local.

AbstractObjective:To report the experience of the Brazilian Program of Pediatric Teleradiology in combining teleconferencing and a virtual learning environment for services integration, collaborative research, and continuing education in pediatric radiology.Materials and Methods:We performed virtual meetings from March 2005 to October 2010 on pediatric radiology-related themes, using a combination of videoconferences and Web conferences, which were recorded and made available in an open-source software (Moodle) for reuse.Results:We performed 58 virtual sessions: 29 anatomical–clinical–radiological sessions, 28 on upgrading themes, and 1 virtual symposium. The average of connected points was 12 by videoconference and 39 by Web conference, and of 450 participants per event. At the time of this writing, 318 physicians and students are registered in the virtual learning environment, with a total of 14,678 accesses.Conclusions:Telemedicine is being included in pediatric radiology practice, as a means for distance education, training, and continuing integration between groups.

- Abstract
Objective: The purpose of our study was to evaluate a CT protocol that eliminates the unenhanced phase for imaging pediatric abdominal neoplasms., Materials and Methods: We retrospectively performed a case series study of all the abdominal CT scans on children and adolescents found in our archives. Two radiologists separately evaluated each CT scan twice. The radiologists were separately asked to formulate the most probable diagnosis and to decide whether tumor calcification was present. The first evaluation was performed without the unenhanced phase and the second was done with both the unenhanced and the contrast-enhanced scans. The agreement between the two methods, and that between each method and the histopathologic results, were measured using kappa statistics. The sensitivity and specificity of each method for diagnosing the more frequent neoplasms were also measured. The sensitivity and specificity of the contrast-enhanced CT scans were assessed for detecting calcification without reference to the unenhanced scan., Results: A total of 131 CT scans were evaluated. The agreement between diagnoses from the two methods was almost perfect for both radiologists (kappa = 0.97 and 0.99). No statistically significant difference was seen between the two methods and the histopathologic results. The sensitivity and specificity of the two methods for the most frequent neoplasms were similar. The evaluations without the unenhanced phase showed good sensitivity and specificity for tumor calcifications., Conclusion: CT protocols without the unenhanced phase are a viable alternative for evaluating abdominal neoplasms in children and adolescents.
