The aim of this study was to evaluate the paediatric and maternal outcome after ex utero intrapartum treatment (EXIT). A retrospective review was carried out of the medical charts (gestational age, circumstances of diagnosis, multidisciplinary prenatal decision, date of surgery, paediatric and maternal outcome) of all the fetuses eligible for/delivered via the EXIT procedure in our paediatrics and obstetrics tertiary care and teaching centre, between October 2004 and May 2011. Seven fetuses with cervical teratoma, epignathus tumour or congenital high airway obstruction syndrome (CHAOS) were included in our study.

- The study aimed to assess the effectiveness and duration of using intrarectal pentobarbital and oral alimemazine for sedating young children during auditory tests like ABR and ASSR.
- A total of 180 children aged 2 to 5 years were included, with most requiring sedation as they could not nap naturally; only 23 kids napped on their own.
- The sedation allowed for successful recordings in 89.8% of the cases, suggesting it could be a safer alternative to general anesthesia for these procedures.
Background: Fusobacterium necrophorum is associated with Lemierre syndrome (pharyngitis with septic thrombosis of the internal jugular veins) but it can also be involved in other head and neck infections, including sinusitis, parotitis, dental infections, and otitis media.
Methods: This retrospective study analyzes a series of 25 pediatric cases of acute otitis media caused by F. necrophorum and treated in our institution between 1995 and 2006.
