Abstract

The clinical manifestations of SARS-CoV-2 infection mainly involve the respiratory system. However, there is increasing evidence that this virus can affect other organs, causing a wide range of clinical symptoms. This is the report of a 40-day-old patient who presented with sepsis and had no risk factors other than SARS-CoV-2 infection, whose radiological findings were compatible with cerebral sinus vein thrombosis.

Abstract

Background: The canal of Nuck is a fold of peritoneum that invaginates into the inguinal canal and closes at or just before birth. If the canal of Nuck remains open in female infants, herniation of the uterus, adnexa and/or bowel loops may arise through the inguinal canal into the labia majora. Case Report: The present case is a 12-week-old female infant with complaints of left groin swelling and discomfort. Ultrasonographic examination revealed a left inguinal hernia containing both adnexa (ovaries and fallopian tubes), uterus and small bowel loops with fluid. Conclusion: A hernia containing ovary and uterus should be considered as a possible cause in a female infant with a groin mass. Ultrasonography of the inguinal mass lesions should be performed routinely in a female infant for accurate diagnosis.

Abstract

Invasive aspergillosis (IA) is an important cause of morbidity and mortality. In this study, we aimed to present our 10-year IA experience in a single center. Fifty-nine pediatric patients diagnosed with IA were included in the study. The male/female ratio of these patients was 42/17. The median age was 8.75 years. Hematologic malignancy was present in the majority of the patients (40/59, 68%). The mean duration of neutropenia was 18.5 days. Cytosine arabinoside was the most common immunosuppressive therapy directed at T-cells at the time of IA diagnosis. IA cases were categorized as proven (27%), probable (51%) and possible (22%) according to the 2008 EORTC/MSG criteria. The most common site of invasive aspergillosis was the lungs (78%) and nodules were the most frequent radiological finding (75.5%). In 38 (64.4%) patients receiving antifungal prophylaxis, prophylactic agents included fluconazole (30.5%), liposomal amphotericin B (23.7%), posaconazole (8.5%) and voriconazole (1.7%) Initial treatment was most commonly administered as monotherapy (69.5%). The median duration of antifungal treatment was 67 days. A total of 11 (18.6%) deaths occurred due to aspergillosis. We will probably continue to see IA frequently in pediatric patients with increased use of corticosteroids, biological agents, and intensive immunosuppressive chemotherapies.

Abstract

Objective: Appendicitis is a common surgical emergency among children. The coronavirus pandemic affected the system of hospitals more than any other field, and great amount of people were concerned about visiting the hospitals for any reason. In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the profile of appendicitis by emphasizing perforated and acute appendicitis in the pandemic period and to compare the rates with previous three years. Material and Methods: Charts of the children who underwent laparoscopic appendectomy due to appendicitis between March 11-September 30 between 2017-2020 were retrospectively analyzed in terms of demographic data, duration of symptoms, duration between hospital admission and surgery, radiologic imaging and perioperative outcomes. Results: This study includes 467 children who underwent laparoscopic appendectomy. There were 97 procedures in 2020, 111 in 2019, 146 in 2018 and 113 in 2017. Multiple comparison tests revealed that age did not show difference; but onset of symptoms in admission (p= 0.004), hospitalization time before surgery (p< 0.001), total hospitalization time (< 0.001) showed statistically significant difference between years. Pairwise comparisons showed that these parameters were increased in 2020 compared to other years. Perforated appendicitis rate was significantly increased in 2020 when compared to previous years. Conclusion: Although there is no direct relation between appendicitis and COVID-19 infection in the current knowledge, perforated appendicitis was found to be increased in children during the COVID pandemic. Reason of the higher rate of perforated appendicitis may be multifactorial; however, the pandemic appears to have a role in increased morbidity in children with appendicitis indirectly due to delay of hospital admissions.

Abstract

Mesothelioma is a rare and aggressive tumor originating from the serosal lining of the pleural, peritoneal and pericardial cavities. There are very few cases diagnosed with malignant peritoneal mesothelioma reported in childhood. Thanks to the developments in the field of immunotherapy, the prognosis of the disease has improved with the addition of the immune check point inhibitor, an anti-programmed death-1 monoclonal antibody, nivolumab to the treatment of MPM. In the treatment of our case who was diagnosed with diffuse malignant peritoneal mesothelioma at a very early age; cytoreductive surgery, hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy, platinum and pemetrexed combination chemotherapy and nivolumab were used. Our patient, who has been on nivolumab therapy for 14 months and has been followed up for 20 months since her diagnosis, is still in remission. This case supports the utility of nivolumab in pediatric MPM.

Abstract

Most IMDs are diagnosed in the neonatal period and have severe neurological findings. Neuroimaging plays an essential role in the diagnosis. We aim to investigate early cranial MRI findings of newborns suspected with IMDs to determine IMD-related neuroimaging patterns in the early infant period.The medical records of a total of 195 infants with suspected IMDs were screened, and 56 patients who underwent a cranial MRI within the first three months of life were included in the study. The 56 patients were categorized into those diagnosed (Group I) and those not diagnosed (Group II) with IMDs. The patient's clinical findings and radiological imaging reports were extracted to a database.The most common IMDs were mitochondrial diseases, urea cycle disorders, and organic acidemias. In the cranial MRI evaluations, the T2-hyperintensity of white matter and the T2-hyperintensity of basal ganglia were higher in Group I. It was found that high lactate/lipid peaks onEarly neuroimaging findings are essential in evaluations of IMDs, so familiarity with neuroimaging findings is essential for diagnosis, especially in countries that lack an expanded neonatal screening program.

Abstract

We aimed both to define the characteristics of patients with Kawasaki Disease (KD), and to highlight infrequent and unusual findings of the disease by presenting selected cases. We retrospectively evaluated 35 patients diagnosed with KD in our clinic between January 1994 and January 2013. The male to female ratio was 1.33 and the median age at admission was 22 months (1.5-132 months). Fourteen patients (40%) had coronary artery lesions (CAL). Twenty-five cases (72%) had complete and 10 cases (28%) had incomplete KD; the incidence of CAL in these groups was 36% and 50%, respectively. Two patients had giant coronary aneurysms. Six cases received a second dose of intravenous immunoglobulin, and one patient received pulse methylprednisolone. Seven cases had unusual and/or infrequent presentation patterns and/or follow-up. Physicians should be aware of all symptoms and laboratory findings of KD in order to avoid any delays in diagnosis and decrease the risk of life-threatening complications.

Abstract

Rotavirus may cause life-threatening complications in untreated patients during the course of gastroenteritis. Electrolyte imbalance, bacteremia and sepsis are the most common complications of rotavirus gastroenteritis (RG). It is believed that translocation of intestinal microorganisms as a result of intestinal epithelium dysfunction is the underlying mechanism of bacteremia in RG. Although Gram-negative bacteremia has been noted as a complication in RG, Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia and endocarditis have not been reported previously. A 22-month-old boy was admitted with complaints of fever, diarrhea and dehydration. He was diagnosed with RG complicated with S. aureus bacteremia, pyomyositis and endocarditis. We call attention to these complications in patients with prolonged or late-onset fever during RG as rare complications of the disease.

Abstract

Brucellosis is a public health problem in most countries in the Mediterranean. Involvement of the central nervous system is seen in 4-13% of patients with brucellosis. A 13-year-old girl was admitted because of gait disturbance, diplopia, and dizziness. Her complaints began about 1.5 years ago. The second symptomatic episode repeated about three months ago and the third two months ago. In total, attacks repeated 3 times over 1.5 years. The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and the clinical features mimicked multiple sclerosis. The patient was given pulse steroid treatments. After steroid treatment, her gait disturbance and diplopia improved over the short term. Following positive developments, her symptoms recurred. The tests were repeated; the MRI showed increasingly high signal abnormalities, and Brucella melitensis was grown in cerebrospinal fluid. The patient was started on an oral combination of rifampin, doxycycline, and ciprofloxacin. MRI findings improved markedly after nine months of treatment. Although neurobrucellosis is associated rarely with demyelination in adults, this finding has not been reported previously in children or adolescents. Additionally, this case is the first in terms of involvement of the corpus callosum in neurobrucellosis. In this article, we present an unusual case of neurobrucellosis.

Abstract

Arterial tortuosity syndrome (ATS) is a rare hereditary, autosomal recessive, connective tissue disorder. Herein, we describe a five-year-old boy. He had hyperextensible skin, atypical facial features and inguinal hernia. We present his vascular imaging studies of kinking and tortuosity of the aorta and bilateral multiple peripheral pulmonary artery stenoses determined by conventional and magnetic resonance angiographic (MRA) examination. ATS must be considered in patients with connective tissue condition associated with diffuse arterial changes and involvement of the skin, joints and other organs. Vascular imaging studies, especially MRA, are useful in the screening of these vascular abnormalities.

Abstract

Scimitar syndrome is a rare congenital abnormality. Clear anatomic definition is an important issue before operation. We report definition of both abnormal pulmonary venous drainage and anomalous systemic arterial supply by gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography and three-dimensional computerized tomography in an eight month-old infant with scimitar syndrome. The presented case study confirms that these noninvasive diagnostic tools can successfully be used to provide valuable information about vascular anatomy in infants with scimitar syndrome.
