Introduction Appendicitis remains a challenging diagnosis in children, especially those less than .5 years of age. (1) Although the mortality and morbidity rates associated with acute appendicitis have decreased significantly [...], The aim of the study was to investigate the place of imaging in the diagnosis and treatment of acute appendicitis. The files of 2,427 children with suspected acute appendicitis were reviewed for clinical management and operative findings. The sample was divided into 3 groups at time of admission: (1) before diagnostic imaging was available in our department (1991-1994); (2) after the introduction of imaging studies on a random basis in equivocal cases (1995-1998); and (3) after a policy was formulated for ultrasound use in all equivocal cases followed by computed tomography if necessary (1999-2000). Results showed that the rate of misdiagnosis decreased from 13.2% in group 1 to 6.5% in group 2 and 6.1% in group 3. False-positive findings (normal appendix with positive scan) were noted in 16.7% of group 2 and 25% of group 3; false-negative findings (appendicitis at surgery with negative scan) in 23.8% and 9.5%, respectively. Computed tomography was performed in 8 children and prevented unnecessary surgery in 4 of them. We conclude that in equivocal cases of acute appendicitis, imaging studies performed by skilled operators can improve the accuracy of diagnosis, saving patients unnecessary surgery, and identifying other conditions that mimic appendicitis.

Introduction Large mediastinal masses can cause compression of adjacent mediastinal structures. Patients may have symptoms of airway obstruction or cardiovascular compromise. In children, the general condition may deteriorate suddenly, even [...], Mediastinal masses in children are a heterogeneous group of asymptomatic or potentially life-threatening congenital, infectious, or neoplastic lesions that present complex diagnostic and therapeutic dilemmas. Some patients are asymptomatic; in others, the mass may compress mediastinal structures and cause sudden asphyxia. In these cases, close cooperation is needed among pediatric surgeons, anesthesiologists, intensivists, oncologists, and radiologists. The files of 45 children with mediastinal masses admitted between 1986 and 1999 to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) of Schneider Children's Medical Center of Israel were reviewed. Twenty-one were admitted for perioperative care, and 21 for emergency care, including 19 with respiratory distress. Five of the emergency care group had asphyxia and 10 needed assisted ventilation. Two children were admitted for evaluation and 1 for leukopheresis. The children admitted on an emergency basis had more clinical findings than the postoperative group: almost 80% had dyspnea and more than 45% had oxygen desaturation; 33% had cough and noisy breathing, and 25%, superior vena cava syndrome or hepatosplenomegaly. Eight patients (17.8%) had benign disease and 37 (82.2%) malignant disease. The patients with a benign mass were significantly younger than the patients with a malignant mass (p

Zer (1) Keywords: Key words Hirschsprung's disease; Stercoraceous ulcer; Solitary rectal ulcer. Abstract: A large, nonspecific, chronic ulcer was found in the sigmoid colon of a 13-year-old child with neglected, undiagnosed Hirschsprung's disease (HD). There is no known association between HD and colonic ulcers, suggesting that the ulcer was a true stercoraceous ulcer of the colon and not an intrinsic defect of the aganglionotic bowel.

Many girls with ovarian tumors can be successfully treated and in many cases, fertility can be preserved. Of 34 girls aged aged 1 day to 17 years with an ovarian mass, 16 had a tumor. Of these 16, 8 had a malignant tumor. The affected ovary was removed surgically but not the uterus or the other ovary. One girl had to have both ovaries removed because they were both cancerous. Five also had chemotherapy. All the girls survived with no evidence of cancer.

Freud (1) Keywords: KeywordsaQuadriceps paresis; Ilioinguinal nerve block; Iliohypogastric nerve block; Inguinal herniotomy; Local anesthesia Abstract: aA total of 2,624 groin operations were performed in 2,202 infants and children aged 6 months--14 years during the last 4.5 years. Preventive analgesia was used in all operations, and included ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric nerve block combined with inguinal canal infiltration. In 6 patients transient postoperative quadriceps muscle paresis (QMP) was noted. They required bed rest and monitoring for a few hours, and complete spontaneous recovery was noted in all cases. The aim of this study was to examine the incidence of transient QMP following regional nerve block and to discuss models of possible prevention.

Zer (1) Keywords: Key words Intraoperative monitoring; Intestinal patency Abstract: Routine intraoperative rectal temperature monitoring may serve in addition as a means of distal intestinal patency confirmation. A simple method, which is of immense importance especially when operating on infants and small children after NEC or intestinal atresia, is described.

Zer (2) Keywords: Key words Spontaneous splenic rupture; Mononucleosis; Drainage Abstract: Spontaneous splenic rupture (SSR) is a rare but potentially lethal complication of infectious mononucleosis (IM). Because the inflamed spleen is usually enlarged, congested, and friable, emergency splenectomy is recommended. We describe the conservative management of a SSR in a 16-year-old boy with IM. A pigtail catheter was inserted under ultrasonographic guidance and left in place for 36h. This allowed the successful evacuation of the hematoma without compromising the splenic parenchyma.
