Secondary pseudohypoaldosteronism: a 15-year experience and a literature review.

Background: Secondary pseudohypoaldosteronism (S-PHA) is a rare condition resulting from renal tubular resistance to aldosterone in children with urinary tract infection (UTI) and/or nephrourological malformations. It is characterized by nonspecific symptoms but with the potential for life-threatening complications. We aim to evaluate the clinical manifestations, diagnostic approach, and therapeutic interventions in children with S-PHA, along with a review of recent publications.

[Facing fever in the pediatric patient: Checklist as a tool for parents].

Introduction: In Western Europe, 20%-40% of children with fever request health care. Most of them present trivial viral infections, however, it is essential in pediatrics to distinguish patients who present a severe infection. This process begins with the recognition of the seriousness and the subsequent search for medical attention by the parents.

Takayasu's arteritis as an incidental finding in a patient with celiac disease: the importance of positron emission computed tomography.

Background: Takayasu arteritis is a large-vessel vasculitis which affects large-caliber elastic arteries, primarily the aorta and its main branches. It mainly affects women between 20-30 years, so it is rare in children.

Case Report: We describe the case of a 15-year-old female who was followed up since she was 9 years old due to celiac disease.

[Intracranial hypotension syndrome in a pediatric patient with Marfan syndrome].

Intracranial hypotension syndrome (IHS) is attributed to reduced cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure. It may be spontaneous or secondary to a history of trauma or systemic disease. We present the case of an 11-year-old boy, with medical history of Marfan syndrome, with orthostatic headache and persistent vomiting (12 hours) following a fall on the sacrococcygeal region.

['Wait and see' in paediatric epilepsy. Our experience].

Introduction: Pharmacological treatment of epilepsy is not healing; it tries to avoid seizures, as far as possible, in children who probably would still have them.

Patients And Methods: Our purpose is to analyse our experience with epileptic children and those who have a first non-symptomatic seizure without pharmacological treatment. Patients seen in a paediatric neurology consultation, from 2017 to 2021, who had suffered one or more acute non-symptomatic crises and who had not been treated pharmacologically, were analysed.
