PURPOSE: Sandifer syndrome (SS), which combines gastroesophageal reflux (GER) and a neurological or psychiatric disorder, is an uncommon condition that often takes a long time to diagnosis. We aimed to systematically review available papers regarding SS. METHODS: After presenting our two cases of SS, we systematically reviewed articles published in MEDILINE/PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science. RESULTS: The meta-analysis included 54 reported cases and 2 of our own cases...

INTRODUCTION: Blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome (BRBNS) is an uncommon vascular anomaly characterized by multifocal cutaneous, visceral, and other soft tissue or solid organ venous malformations. We observed that BRBNS lesions express immunohistochemical markers of lymphatic differentiation. METHODS: BRBNS histopathologic specimens assessed at our institution during the past 27 years were reviewed. Slides from 19 BRBNS lesions were selected from 14 patients (9 cutaneous, 9 gastrointestinal, and 1 hepatic)...

Splenogonadal fusion is a rare, benign congenital malformation characterized by the association of splenic tissue and gonads (typically testicles). It is a condition of male predominance and can be classified into two types: continuous, if the spleen and gonad are united by a splenic cord or fibrous tissue, or discontinuous. Splenogonadal fusion is often associated with other congenital anomalies such as cryptorchidism, limb defects, and micrognathia. Differential diagnosis can be difficult and includes inguinal hernia, spermatic cord cyst, cryptorchidism, or testicular mass...

For congenital heart disease patients, multiple imaging modalities are needed to discern anatomy and functional information such as differential blood flow. During cardiac catheterization, 3D rotational angiography (3DRA) can provide CTA-like images, enabling anatomical information and intraprocedural guidance. We seek to establish whether unique aspects of this technique can also generate quantitative functional blood flow information. We propose that systematic integration of 3DRA imaging, catheter hemodynamic information, and computational fluid dynamics (CFD), can provide quantitative information regarding blood flow dynamics and energetics, without additional imaging or procedures...

BACKGROUND: Patient-specific 3D models of neuroblastoma and relevant anatomy are useful tools for surgical planning. However, these models do not represent the heterogenous biology of neuroblastoma. This heterogeneity is visualized with the ADC and 123 I-MIGB-SPECT-CT imaging. Combining these multi-modal data into preoperative 3D heatmaps, may allow differentiation of the areas of vital and non-vital tumor tissue. We developed a workflow to create multi-modal preoperative 3D models for neuroblastoma surgery...

REVIEW
Khalid A Bakarman
The purpose of this review is to increase awareness about the evolution and development of current trends in the diagnosis and treatment of aneurysmal bone cysts (ABCs). ABCs are benign, but locally aggressive bone tumors that mainly affect children. ABCs comprise 1% of all primary bone tumors and occur most frequently during the first two decades of life. The diagnosis is made using a variety of imaging modalities and has the characteristic features of an expansile, radiolucent lesion that is often seen in the metaphyseal region of the bone and has fluid-fluid levels that are apparent on MRI...

Biliary abnormalities in children are uncommon, and the spectrum of biliary disorders is broader than in adult patients. Unlike in adults, biliary disorders in children are rarely neoplastic and are more commonly rhabdomyosarcoma rather than cholangiocarcinoma. Pediatric biliary disorders may be embryologic or congenital, such as anatomic gallbladder anomalies, anomalous pancreaticobiliary tracts, various cholestatic processes, congenital cystic lesions, or genetic conditions. They may also be benign, such as biliary filling anomalies, biliary motility disorders, and biliary inflammatory and infectious disorders...

BACKGROUND: In the presence of pain over the lateral aspect of the foot or recurrent ankle sprain in children, medical imaging is often employed to investigate potential causes, such as a calcaneonavicular coalition or a too-long anterior process (TLAP) of the calcaneus. Diagnosis and categorization of calcaneonavicular coalitions (synostosis, synchondrosis, or synfibrosis) is generally facilitated through imaging, in contrast to TLAP, which lacks well-defined semiological characteristics, apart from a calcaneonavicular space measurement of less than 5 mm...

IMPORTANCE: Pediatric blepharokeratoconjunctivitis (PBKC) is a chronic, sight-threatening inflammatory ocular surface disease. Due to the lack of unified terminology and diagnostic criteria, nonspecific symptoms and signs, and the challenge of differentiation from similar ocular surface disorders, PBKC may be frequently unrecognized or diagnosed late. OBJECTIVE: To establish a consensus on the nomenclature, definition, and diagnostic criteria of PBKC. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: This quality improvement study used expert panel and agreement applying the non-RAND modified Delphi method and open discussions to identify unified nomenclature, definition, and definitive diagnostic criteria for PBKC...

We present a rare finding of the arachnoid matter invaginating into the base of middle cranial fossa and creating an abnormal space. Presented entity was incidentally found in head CT scan of 12-year-old male. Based on the radiological characteristics in CT scans and MR images, the diagnosis of intradiploic arachnoid cyst (AC) was suggested. After surgical intervention and histopathological analysis of the specimen, the diagnosis was confirmed. We assume this is the first description of large intrasphenoid AC without any traumatic or iatrogenic cause...

Large B-cell lymphoma with IRF4 rearrangement (LBCL-IRF4) is a rare lymphoid neoplasm, usually occurring in the pediatric/young-adult age. Despite this, subsets of cases occur in elderly patients and express CD5, possibly entering the differential diagnosis with adult aggressive lymphomas, such as blastoid/pleomorphic mantle cell lymphoma (MCL-B/P). To better characterize the clinical-pathological features and differential diagnosis of LBCL-IRF4, we conducted a multi-centric study on 12 cases, focusing on CD5, Cyclin D1, and SOX11 expression...

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to assess the relevance of using multi-positional MRI (mMRI) to identify cranio-vertebral junction (CVJ) instability in pediatric patients with CVJ anomalies while determining objective mMRI criteria to detect this condition. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Data from children with CVJ anomalies who underwent a mMRI between 2017 and 2021 were retrospectively reviewed. Mobility assessment using mMRI involved: (1) morphometric analysis using hierarchical clustering on principal component analysis (HCPCA) to identify clusters of patients by considering their mobility similarities, assessed through delta (Δ) values of occipito-cervical parameters measured on mMRI; and (2) morphological analysis based on dynamic geometric CVJ models and analysis of displacement vectors between flexion and extension...

Skull lesions in pediatric population are common findings on imaging and sometimes with heterogeneous manifestations, constituting a diagnostic challenge. Some lesions can be misinterpreted for their aggressiveness, as with larger lesions eroding cortical bone, containing soft tissue components, leading to excessive and, in some cases, invasive inappropriate etiological investigation. In this review, we present multiple several conditions that may present as skull lesions or pseudolesions, organized by groups (anatomic variants, congenital and development disorders, traumatic injuries, vascular issues, infectious conditions, and tumoral processes)...

Primary cardiac tumors are rare in all ages, especially in children, with a reported prevalence range of 0.0017-0.28% in autopsy series. Due to their rarity, the diagnostic and therapeutic pathways reserved to them are usually described by single case reports, leading to the point where a common diagnostic protocol is imperative to obtain a differential diagnosis. The first diagnostic approach is done with transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE), due to its wide availability, low cost, absence of ionizing radiations and non-invasiveness...

The diagnostic and referral workflow for children with neuromuscular disorders is evolving, particularly as newborn screening programs are expanding in tandem with novel therapeutic developments. However, for the children who present with symptoms and signs of potential neuromuscular disorders, anatomic localization, guided initially by careful history and physical examination, continues to be the cardinal initial step in the diagnostic evaluation. It is important to consider whether the localization is more likely to be in the lower motor neuron, peripheral nerve, neuromuscular junction, or muscle...
