An Optical Tomography-Based Score to Assess Pediatric Hand Burns.

To define the morphologic pattern of pediatric hand burns as visualized via optical coherence tomography (OCT) and dynamic OCT (D-OCT). We designed a scoring system to assess the depths of burn wounds on pediatric hands and tested this score in our cohort of children with burn injuries to the hand. Overall, 67 hand burns in 48 children (0-15 years) were prospectively examined.

Lymphangioma of the fetal neck within the PIK3CA-related-overgrowth spectrum (PROS): A case report.

The delineation of the prenatal diagnostic key features of PIK3CA-related overgrowth spectrum disorders will assume a crucial part in future and a prenatal diagnosis of the causing mutations would provide physicians with a simplified interdisciplinary perinatal management.

Thermic injuries are among the most severe injuries in childhood. Burn depth is the most relevant prognostic factor, and still its assessment is both difficult and controversial. This diagnostic uncertainty results in repeated wound assessments over a 10-day period and carries a relevant risk for over- and undertreatment.
