INTRODUCTION: Pediatric trauma resuscitations are low-frequency, high-stakes events that require skilled multidisciplinary teams with strong medical knowledge and communication skills. METHODS: This pediatric trauma simulation training session included two cases and formats. The first case was designed in a traditional format and featured a 12-month-old child with inflicted blunt head and abdominal trauma. The second case was organized in successive rounds utilizing the rapid cycle deliberate practice (RCDP) model and featured an 18-month-old with gunshot wounds to the abdomen and chest...

Among the causes of chest pain, slipping rib has a low prevalence, usually with a history of trauma, and its management is controversial. Slipping rib syndrome should be included in the differential diagnosis of causes of chest pain in children. When not associated with previous trauma and cartilage deformity, it is necessary to consider an alteration in rib development, regardless of the typical traumatic etiology in adults. Here we describe a series of pediatric patients with slipping rib seen at a referral hospital between 2001 and 2022...

INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE: Intestinal malrotation is a congenital abnormality predominantly diagnosed in children, with only a few cases reported in adults. Patients may be incidentally identified during unrelated surgical procedures or postmortem examinations. It is crucial to promptly recognize this condition to prevent severe complications such as bowel ischemia and potential fatality. CASE PRESENTATION: A 40-year-old male presented to the Emergency Department after a child jumped on his abdomen with complaints of acute left upper quadrant abdominal pain progressing to be generalized...

Children involved in car crashes can experience either direct trauma or inertial injuries resulting from interactions with external objects, such as other vehicles, or with the restraint system. Furthermore, improper use of restraint systems can lead to additional severe injuries. Recent reports from international institutions underscored the persistent prevalence of inadequate restraint systems utilization and this widespread issue increases children's vulnerability and risk of injuries.The aim of this study is to provide a systematic review of the literature on injuries sustained in children involved in road accidents describing and analyzing elements useful for forensic assessment...

OBJECTIVE: Traumatic lumbar hernias are a rare entity mostly seen with high-impact, blunt abdominal trauma. This injury occurs when there is disruption of the posterior musculature along with bony structures, allowing for herniation of abdominal contents. There are minimal cases of this entity reported in adults, but even fewer in the pediatric population. METHODS: We describe 3 cases of traumatic lumbar hernia at our institution as well as provide a review of the literature to elucidate the most common mechanisms, severity of injury, and associated injuries...

Splenic rupture in a neonate is a rare but potentially fatal condition that may trigger evaluation for child abuse. It is a diagnosis of exclusion that has been reported in the surgical literature but may be underrecognized by pediatric radiologists. We report a case of a newborn with an unremarkable prenatal, delivery, and nursery course who presented with anemia, abdominal distension, and lethargy. Abdominal ultrasound with Doppler and computed tomography (CT) of the head, cervical spine, chest, abdomen, and pelvis without contrast showed findings of splenic rupture and anoxic brain injury...

The imaging evaluation of acute abdominal pain in children with suspected appendicitis has evolved to include rapid abdominopelvic MRI (rMRI) over recent years. Through a collaborative effort between the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Emergency and Trauma Imaging Committees of the Society for Pediatric Radiology (SPR), we conducted a survey on the utilization of rMRI to assess practice specifics and protocols. Subsequently, we present a proposed consensus rMRI protocol derived from the survey results, literature review, and discussion and consensus between committee members...

Point-of-care ultrasound is now widely used in adult and pediatric emergency departments as part of the rapid evaluation and treatment of patients in urgent care settings. It has been shown to be a powerful tool to aid in decision making in both trauma and acute medical situations. We describe a case of a 3-year-old boy who presented with abdominal pain and fever after a minor abdominal trauma, highlighting the use of point-of-care ultrasound to arrive at the diagnosis of a ruptured echinococcal cyst.

A previously healthy but overweight (body mass index (BMI) of 24.4) adolescent boy presented with fever and significant right-sided abdominal pain. An abdominal ultrasound scan revealed an omental infarction (OI), which was treated conservatively. OI has been described in overweight teenage children with abdominal trauma but can be missed if not considered. A missed diagnosis could result in an unnecessary laparotomy or laparoscopic surgery. Although CT is the gold standard for diagnosis, ultrasonography is an effective approach to identifying OI in children...

BACKGROUND: Pediatric trauma triage and transfer decisions should incorporate the likelihood that an injured child will require pediatric trauma center (PTC) resources. Resource utilization may be a better basis than mortality risk when evaluating pediatric injury severity. However, there is currently no consensus definition of PTC resource utilization that encompasses the full scope of PTC services. METHODS: Consensus criteria were developed in collaboration with the Pediatric Trauma Society (PTS) Research Committee using a modified Delphi approach...

Gallbladder rupture caused by blunt abdominal trauma is an uncommon injury, particularly in children. This condition occurs even less frequently in children with common bile duct cysts. The history is difficult to obtain, the clinical symptoms are indistinct, and their assessment is obscured by a slew of other lesions. Radiography cannot produce clear images. Thus, the diagnosis is frequently delayed and confirmed only during surgery. Case reports of gallbladder injury after abdominal trauma are relatively rare and there are only 50 case reports in literature for 100 years...
