Pediatric interventional bronchoscopy.

Pediatric interventional bronchoscopy includes a variety of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Restoration of airway patency, management of tracheoesophageal fistula, and difficult airway intubation are just a few pertinent examples. This review discusses the most recently introduced techniques in pediatric bronchology.

[Does the nasopharyngeal samples virological analysis reflect the lower respiratory tract infection in children population? A PCR multiplex study].

Respiratory tract infections are frequent in young children and are related to viruses in most cases. Multiplex Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) based techniques are valuable tools for describing the spectrum of such viruses. The goal of this study was to assess the correlation of virus detection in samples obtained by nasopharyngeal aspiration and by bronchoalveolar lavage.

Supraclavicular ultrasound-guided catheterization of the subclavian vein in pediatric and neonatal ICUs: a feasibility study.

Objectives: To assess the feasibility of ultrasound-guided supraclavicular catheterization of the subclavian vein in pediatric and neonatal ICU.

Design: Retrospective cohort.

Setting: Ten-bed pediatric medicosurgical ICU and 15-bed neonatal ICU.

[Liver torsion leading to death in a 16-month-old infant treated neonatally for an omphalocele].

We report the case of an infant who underwent surgery on the first day of life for a giant omphalocele. At the age of 16 months, he presented an acute abdominal syndrome and died a few hours later. Autopsy revealed a twisted left liver lobe (LL) including a suprahepatic vein.

[Post-varicella cerebral thrombophlebitis with anti-protein S: report of a pediatric case].

Purpura fulminans and venous thrombosis are rare complications of chickenpox. We report the case of a 6 year old with no history individuals who experienced cerebral thrombophlebitis, 3 weeks after varicella. MRI, performed at admission, has objectified longitudinal sinus thrombosis and a frontal parenchymal hematoma law.
