Wilms tumor with Mulibrey Nanism: A case report and review of literature.

Background: Mulibrey-Nanism (Muscle-liver-brain-eye Nanism = dwarfism; MUL) is a rare genetic syndrome. The underlying TRIM37 mutation predisposes these children to develop tumors frequently. In the largest published series of MUL, 8% patients were reported to develop Wilms tumor (WT).

Balloon dilation of the pulmonary valve in premature infants with tetralogy of Fallot.

Infants with tetralogy of Fallot (ToF) presenting with desaturation may require augmentation of the pulmonary blood flow, usually in the form of a Blalock-Taussig shunt. Shunts may result in a preferential increase in blood flow to one lung. They also may be associated with significant morbidity and possibly mortality of premature infants.

Innominate artery compression of trachea.

Innominate artery may cross the trachea and cause airway obstruction is a rare cause of vascular obstruction of airway. We describe a child with stridor, inability to extubate in whom the diagnosis was suspected on fluoroscopy and confirmed by angiography. Reimplantation of the innominate artery resulted in excellent results with longterm follow up.
