Foreign body (FB) aspiration is one of the most common life-threatening emergencies in children and one of the leading causes of mortality in the pediatric population. Most commonly, aspirated items are organic materials, such as nuts and seeds. Inorganic objects are usually plastic or metal.

Vara Deformity and Subluxed Humeral Heads: An Unusual Sign in Pseudohypoparathyroidism.

Pseudohypoparathyroidism is a rare disorder characterized by end-organ resistance to intact parathyroid hormone (PTH) and concomitant laboratory findings of hypocalcemia and hyperphosphatemia. Radiologic evidence of the disease may manifest as a variety of bone abnormalities. This case describes an 11-year-old female with a history of repaired bilateral slipped capital femoral epiphysis who presented with a limited range of motion of the bilateral upper extremities.

Ischial Tuberosity Avulsion Fracture Mimicking Calcified Mass on Plain Films: A Case Report.

Ischial tuberosity avulsion fractures are overall uncommon but are known injuries in the adolescent population. They are the result of sudden, forceful contraction of the hamstring muscle groups. The characteristic radiographic appearance of an ischial tuberosity avulsion fracture is of an irregular ischial margin and a nearby avulsed bone fragment.

Anatomical Variant of Upper Humerus Notch in a Pediatric Case.

When a medical image is requested for a particular indication, and a bony lesion is seen in a child, it causes anxiety to caregivers, unnecessary imaging costs, and unneeded biopsy. We present a complicated course of a five-month-old child who initially presented to the emergency room for prolonged cough and underwent a chest x-ray demonstrating clear lungs; however, a right humerus lytic lesion was identified. The child underwent multiple diagnostic imaging work-ups, which revealed a normal bone variation.
