[Acute shock secondary to congenital neuroblastoma: Neonatal case report].

Congenital neuroblastoma is the most frequent malignant solid tumor in the neonatal period. The clinical presentation is usually either by prenatal diagnosis or by palpation of an abdominal mass. Staging allows classifying it according to risk groups with a different prognosis and treatment.

Early postoperative complications of intracranial tumors in children.

Background: The aim of this study was to describe the complications experienced by patients after central nervous system tumor resection during pediatric intensive care Unit (PICU) admission. Our attempt was to assess the association between epidemiological, clinical data and tumor characteristics prior to surgery and presence of postoperative complications.

Methods: We design an observational, descriptive and retrospective study by review of medical records.

[Severe rhabdomyolysis secondary to severe hypernatraemic dehydration].

Introduction: Rhabdomyolysis is a rare paediatric condition. The case is presented of a patient in whom this developed secondary to severe hypernatraemic dehydration following acute diarrhoea.

Case Report: Infant 11 months of age who presented with vomiting, fever, diarrhoea and anuria for 15 hours.

Effects of local administration of allogenic adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells on functional recovery in experimental traumatic brain injury.

Objective: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the leading cause of mortality and morbidity in paediatric patients after the first year of life. The aim of this study was to evaluate effects of locally administered allogeneic mesenchymal stem cells (MSC), in the acute period after a TBI.

Methodology: MSC were isolated from peritoneal fat of healthy rats, expanded in vitro and labelled with the green fluorescent protein.
