Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze the demographics and management of unusual airway foreign bodies (UAFBs) in children over a 20-year period.
- Out of 531 children who underwent bronchoscopic removal, 74 had UAFBs like pen caps, whistles, and glass bangles, with most cases involving children under 5 and presenting symptoms like cough and respiratory distress.
- The findings indicated that UAFBs in children are relatively common, primarily affecting boys, with the left bronchus being the most frequent site of impaction and bronchoscopic retrieval showing a favorable outcome despite some challenges.
Introduction: Although pediatric urolithiasis is an established entity, its antenatal diagnosis is rare. We hereby report a case detected at 20 weeks gestation and discuss the etiopathogenesis, predisposition, and surveillance following intervention.
Case Report: A 2-year-old girl with left renal pelvic calculus detected antenatally at 20 weeks was evaluated.
Background: SRD5A2 deficiency leads to incomplete masculinization of individuals with a 46 XY karyotype. A definitive diagnosis in early infancy facilitates decisions concerning choice of sex of rearing and management.
Aim: To review the clinical presentation, diagnosis, treatment and outcome of children with 46 XY DSD due to SRD5A2 deficiency at a Paediatric Gender Clinic.
