Giant omphalocele with right lung agenesia and bronchial tracheal hypoplasia: A case report.

The omphalocele is an abdominal wall defect at the base of the umbilical cord, with the worldwide prevalence of 2.6 per 10,000 births. Omphalocele contains herniated abdominal organs and is classified in small and giant based on the size of the defect.

M-mode ultrasound for assessment of the "tethered fat sign" in children: an easily performed way to certify a dynamic process as a still picture.

Background: Omental infarction is a rare pediatric disease. Ultrasound is a useful modality for a non-invasive pre-operative differential diagnosis between inflammatory conditions (as appendicitis) and omental infarction, especially by detecting immobility of the omentum adhered to the abdominal wall ("tetherd fat sign"). However, this is a dynamic sign that cannot be documented in a static image with B-mode technique.

Volvulus of a wandering spleen in a pediatric patient.

Wandering spleen is a rare condition in children that is often caused by the loss or weakening of the splenic ligaments. Its clinical presentation is variable; 64% of children with wandering spleen have splenic torsion as a complication. A 13-year-old boy who had been showing abdominal pain in the hypogastric region accompanied by vomit and an enormous tumefaction in the suprapubic region came to our observation.

Congenital tibial pseudarthrosis: A challenge in pediatric radiology.

Congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia (CPT) is a rare disorder affecting the skeletal system in pediatric population with an estimated incidence of 1:140,000 to 1:250,000 newborns. It is characterized by deformity of the tibia, including anterolateral bowing of the bone diaphysis and/or narrowing of the medullary canal, leading to instability or fracture. CPT can be either idiopathic or associated with underlying conditions such as type 1 neurofibromatosis (NF1), fibrous dysplasia, or Campanacci's osteofibrous dysplasia.

Ultrasound findings in early congenital syphilis: Two case reports and literature review.

Syphilis is caused by treponema pallidum. If untreated, or inadequately treated, during pregnancy, it can result in congenital syphilis (CS), which is classified as early and late. Early CS displays before 2 years of age.
