INTRODUCTION: Acute rhinosinusitis accounts for most of the cases of orbital infections and is the most common cause of periorbital oedema in children. Up to 10% of patients with orbital complications of acute rhinosinusitis may experience vision loss and other complications such as meningitis, intracranial abscess or even death. Therefore, these patients require prompt diagnosis and proper treatment. OBJECTIVES: This study aims to report the clinical presentation and management of post-septal orbital complications of acute rhinosinusitis in the paediatric population...

Arthrogryposis or AMC, arthrogryposis multiplex congenita, is defined as multiple congenital joint contractures in more than two joints and in different body areas. The common cause of all AMC is lack of movement in utero, which in turn can have different causes, one of which is CNS involvement. Intellectual disability/CNS involvement is found in approximately 25% of all AMC. AMC with CNS involvement includes a large number of genetic syndromes. So far, more than 400 genes have been identified as linked to AMC, with and without CNS involvement...

OBJECTIVE: The treatment of hypothalamus-invading craniopharyngiomas, based on pediatric experience, is subtotal resection (STR) with radiotherapy. This strategy sometimes leads to uncontrollable tumor progression. In adults, with the use of endoscopic endonasal surgery (EES), does removing the hypothalamic part of the tumor-whenever possible-compromise the outcome of the patients? METHODS: We included adults with craniopharyngioma treated by a first EES in 2008-2016 by senior neurosurgeon (E...

BACKGROUND: The incidence of uveitis associated with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) varies around the world. Our aim was to investigate the incidence and predictors of uveitis in a Nordic population-based cohort. METHODS: Consecutive JIA cases from defined geographical areas in Denmark, Finland, Sweden and Norway with disease onset between January 1997 to June 2000 were followed for median 98 months in this prospective longitudinal cohort study. Potential clinical and immunological predictors of uveitis were identified with logistic regression analysis...

BACKGROUND: Chylomicron retention disease (CMRD), a rare genetic hypocholesterolemia, results in neuro-ophtalmologic damages, which can be prevented by high doses of vitamin E during infancy. In these patients, plasma vitamin E concentration is significantly reduced due to defects of chylomicron secretion. Vitamin E in adipose tissue (AT) and red blood cells (RBC) have been proposed as potential relevant biomarkers of vitamin E status but no reference values in children are available...

ENT and dental surgical procedures are the most common causes of surgery in children: the majority of them (adenoidectomy, tonsillectomy, trans-tympanic tubes, etc.) does not warrant antibiotic prophylaxis (ABP). When ABP is justified, it follows the general rules of surgical antibiotic prophylaxis: a molecule spectrum including the main bacterial targets (and possibly not used in curative treatment), short-term administration, a single injection 30 to 60 minutes before surgical incision. For cataracts, prophylaxis by intracameral cefuroxime must supplant the antibiotic therapy...

Complications caused by elevated white blood cell count in pediatric patients with CML could be a presenting feature of the disease. Here, we present two adolescents, aged 16 and 17years, who were admitted for investigation of extremely elevated leukocytes and complications of leucostasis. Initial manifestations were priapism and blurred vision, respectively. Diagnosis of chronic phase of chronic myeloid leukemia is established, and conventional measures for leucoreduction began. However, since there were no improvements, a leukapheresis procedure was initiated...

Acute retinal necrosis (ARN) is a serious condition that can impair vision. It mostly occurs in adult patients, especially those severely immunocompromised, in association with a reactivation of a herpes virus infection. Clinical and ophtalmological features of ARN and recommended diagnostic and management strategies are reviewed.

BACKGROUND: Paranasal sinus involvement in the developmental age can be clinically uncharacteristic, and therefore it is commonly diagnosed accidentally with other diseases. Not all cases of such sinusitis need otolaryngologic treatment. THE AIM OF THE STUDY: Was to assess the real prevalence of sinus involvement imaging in head MR scans diagnosed in children with neurological diseases and to describe the need of laryngological therapy in these cases. MATERIAL AND METHODS: During the period of 16 months (01...

Twenty pediatricians conducted a study for the detection of ophtalmological defects in children aged 36 to 54 months using a protocol designed by the Groupe Romand d'Etudes en Pédiatrie Ambulatoire (GREPA) and by an ophthalmologist. After a pilot test run for correcting the protocol and the testing procedure, visual acuity was assessed using the Scholatest, stereoscopy using the Lang test and ocular deviation using the Hirschberg test. A total number of 1243 children were examined, some of which needed to be tested twice...

At the departments of neurosurgery and pediatrics of the University Hospital of Hamburg 21 patients after neurosurgery and radiation of cerebellar tumors have been examined as to neuropsychological, neurological and ophtalmological disabilities. A standardized questionairy for the parents concerning different aspects of their children's quality of life (physical, mental, social health and functional limitations) was performed. 16 children showed minor neurological signs with no or mild disability, in 5 children severe disability was found...
