Non-Syndromic Hearing Loss in a Romanian Population: Carrier Status and Frequent Variants in the Gene.

The genetic causes of autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss (ARNSHL) are heterogeneous and highly ethnic-specific. We describe GJB2 (connexin 26) variants and carrier frequencies as part of our study and summarize previously reported ones for the Romanian population. In total, 284 unrelated children with bilateral congenital NSHL were enrolled between 2009 and 2018 in northwestern Romania.

Myositis ossificans traumatica of the neck - a pediatric case.

Myositis ossificans circumscripta (MOC) is an extra-osseous non- neoplastic growth of a new bone. It occurs most commonly in the second and the third decade of life, while it is rare in children. The etiology of MOC is unknown and the quadriceps and brachials are the most affected.

The role of ultrasonography in the evaluation of maxillary sinusitis in pediatrics.

Unlabelled: Sinusitis in children may sometimes present non-specific signs and symptoms. The imaging techniques used for its diagnosis are computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, the standard radiography being used less and less. Ultrasonography is seldom mentioned in literature as a diagnosis method of sinusitis.
