In addition to being a drainage system, the lacrimal ducts actively defend the eye through the action of the lacrimal pump, the presence of resident flora (lacriome) and the mucosa-associated immune tissue. Infection occurs when mucosal immune functions are overwhelmed. Lacrimal infection is a vicious circle, in which infection leads to inflammation and post-inflammatory sequelae, themselves a source of occlusion and stagnation, which in turn encourages infection.

- * A new case of NKH was identified involving a child with a unique genetic variant in the GLRX5 gene that led to significant neurological problems, confirmed through MRI and cerebrospinal fluid analysis.
- * The child, who experienced a rapid decline in health, passed away at four months old, demonstrating that this case was more severe than previously documented instances of GLRX5-related NKH, emphasizing the importance of genetic factors in the disorder's severity and symptoms.
Introduction: The French mobile neurosurgical unit (MNSU) is used to provide specific support to remote military medicosurgical units deployed in foreign theatres. If a neurosurgical casualty is present, the Role 2 team may request the MNSU to be deployed directly from France. The deployed neurosurgeon can then perform surgery in Role 2 or decide to evacuate the casualty and perform surgery in Role 4 in France.

- Ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) syndrome is a common cause of neonatal hydronephrosis, managed through monitoring or surgery, which varies by institution.
- A new UTD classification aims to standardize ultrasound descriptions of hydronephrosis and predict clinical outcomes in affected children.
- In a study of 28 children with UPJO, the anteroposterior diameter of the renal pelvis (APD) was found to be the most effective predictor of clinically significant events within the first year of life.
Introduction: Bladder profile in boys with Posterior Urethral Valves can be very varied with a spectrum going from high pressure, unstable, hypocompliant small bladders to hypercompliant, large acontractile bladders, with some being near-normal. Our question was whether appearance, specifically of the bladder, on initial VCUG was correlated to prenatal features and whether it could predict early postnatal outcome.
Method: We used a prospectively gathered database of boys with prenatally suspected PUV.
