Background: Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a systemic neoplasia with diverse clinical manifestations, predominantly affecting bone and skin. However, in children, LCH presenting primarily with cholestasis is rare.
Case Summary: We present the case of a 22-month-old boy who was admitted to our hospital with a history of intermittent fever and abdominal distension for over 2 months, and jaundice for over 1 month.
Background: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the accuracy of prenatal MRI in diagnosing choledochal cysts (CDC), evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of MRI signs in the diagnosis of fetal CDC, and first compare the trend of size of CC between prenatal and postpartum.
Methods: A total of 18 fetal who were diagnosed with CDCs through prenatal MRI were enrolled in the study. We summarized and analyzed the prenatal clinical data and prognosis information of prenatal and postpartum surgery, then compared the sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic accuracy of various signs of MRI and postpartum MRCP diagnosis of CC.
Purpose: We aimed to identify clinical and computed tomography (CT) features that distinguish among cystic congenital pulmonary airway malformations (CPAMs) and offer new management strategies.
Methods: We retrieved data on 145 children (85 male, 60 female; median age, 14 months) with pathologically confirmed cystic CPAMs from 2008 to 2018 and retrospectively analyzed the clinical and CT characteristics.
Results: Of the 145 patients, 54 had type 1, 72 had type 2, and 19 had type 4 cystic CPAMs.
