Vascular Anatomy in Congenital Lung Lesions-Description and Classification.

Background: Bronchopulmonary sequestration (BPS) and hybrid lesion of congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM) are congenital lung lesions typically presenting with systemic vascular connection. We describe and categorize this atypical systemic vascular anatomy in congenital lung lesions.

Methods: In a medical chart review from 2005 to 2020 patients with systemic vascular connection of congenital lung lesions were identified.

Treatment Options for Scrotal Migration of Ventriculoperitoneal Shunts: Case Illustration and Systematic Review of 48 Cases.

Background: Scrotal migration of intact or disconnected tubing is a rare complication of ventriculoperitoneal shunts. While some illustrative case reports can be found in the literature, a systematic review on treatment options is lacking.

Objective: To propose the first literature-based treatment algorithm on scrotal shunt migration.

Hereditary pancreatitis in childhood: course of disease and complications.

Background: Hereditary pancreatitis is rare. Pain therapy for juvenile symptom onset, child development and the risk of pancreatic carcinoma in adulthood must be considered.

Patients, Material And Methods: Data from a cohort of 11 patients with disease onset in childhood (< 16 years) were analyzed retrospectively.

Torsion of an undescended testis - A surgical pediatric emergency.

Background/purpose: Torsion of an undescended testis is a surgical emergency whose frequency may be underestimated in the pediatric population. We describe this entity and focus on diagnostic challenges and optimal treatment of torsion of an undescended testis.

Methods: We present a two-center retrospective chart review of patients with torsion of an undescended testis treated between 2013 and 2018.

Pediatric chylothorax-lymphatic imaging enables targeted surgical treatment.

Chylothorax-the collection of lymphatic fluid in the pleural space-is a rare finding in otherwise healthy adolescents. Initially, clinical signs and symptoms are often non-specific and a wide range of underlying causes necessitates extensive diagnostic workup. Treatment options include dietary measures, medical treatment, and various surgical procedures.
