Article Synopsis
- Scurvy, often seen as a condition of the past, is frequently overlooked in children, particularly those with neurodevelopmental disorders, leading to misdiagnosis and unnecessary tests.
- This study presents 10 cases of children diagnosed with scurvy at Amrita Hospital between 2017 to 2022, highlighting their clinical symptoms, imaging results, and recovery after vitamin C treatment.
- Findings suggest that pediatricians and rheumatologists should consider scurvy when faced with unexplained bone pain, and address selective eating habits to prevent complications.
Unlabelled: . Rare-earth magnet ingestions are a subset of foreign body ingestions and can result in significant morbidity secondary to pressure necrosis. These magnets are best visualized radiographically, typically located in the gastrointestinal tract.

Methods: Ninety whole-body MRI examinations with dedicated oblique coronal planes of the sacroiliac joints in 46 patients were independently reviewed and scored by 2 pediatric musculoskeletal radiologists, blinded to clinical details, using the SPARCC system. Intra- and interreader reliability was assessed by intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC).
Background: Accurate diagnosis of Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis is essential for surgical planning. This study compared the accuracy, safety, and utility of small bowel follow-through (SBFT) and magnetic resonance enterography (MRE) for detecting small bowel (SB) involvement preoperatively.
Methods: A retrospective review of children who underwent colectomy for inflammatory bowel disease (2000-2014) was performed.
Background: The use of MRI in isolated pediatric nystagmus remains a gray area in clinical management. Many clinicians prefer to order an MRI to rule out intracranial pathology despite the lack of clinically significant findings in most cases.
Objective: To assess the yield of MR imaging in isolated pediatric nystagmus and define a management algorithm to minimize avoidable MRI referrals and streamline MRI protocols.
