Pulmonary sequestrations are infrequent congenital malformations, and very rarely they are located below the diaphragm, particularly in the left suprarenal area. Prenatal detection is available. Differential diagnosis includes lesions such as enteric duplication cysts and neuroblastomas. Between 1999 and 2002, we operated on 4 patients with intraabdominal pulmonary sequestration. This series is presented here, with a review of the literature and current guidelines for the management of these unusual lesions.

Intestinal perforations lead to a high risk of sepsis-associated morbidity and multi-organ dysfunctions. A perforation allows intestinal contents (IC) to enter the peritoneal cavity, causing abdominal infections. Right- and left-sided perforations have different prognoses in humans, but the mechanisms associated with different cecum and colon perforations remain unclear.

Background: Generalized lymphatic anomaly (GLA) is a rare congenital lymphatic malformation (LM) characterized by multiple infiltrating lymphangiomas in various tissues. Owing to its rarity, information on this disease is obtained mainly through case reports, leading to delayed diagnosis. In this study, we reported a case of generalized lymphatic anomaly in a pediatric patient manifesting as hemorrhagic pleural effusion.

Unlabelled: This study aimed to evaluate pathological findings on abdominal ultrasonography upon admission of children diagnosed with Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C) that were associated with a more severe disease course and the need for intensive care unit (ICU) admission. This retrospective and observational study was conducted between March 2020 and May 2022. Abdominal ultrasonography findings were evaluated in children diagnosed with MIS-C associated with SARS-CoV-2.

Lateral decubitus: its influence on hemodynamic and respiratory function during retroperitoneal robotic assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty (R-RALP) in children.

Department of Pediatric Anesthesia and Intensive Care, Necker-Enfants Malades University Hospital, AP-HP Centre, Université Paris Cité, 149, Rue de Sèvres 75015, Paris, France.

Retroperitoneal robotic-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty (R-RALP) is the commonest urologic procedure performed in children, entailing retroperitoneal CO2 insufflation and lateral decubitus, whose effects on cardiopulmonary variables are poorly known. We, therefore, studied hemodynamic and respiratory changes due to CO2 insufflation and lateral decubitus in children undergoing R-RALP and their effects on regional tissue oxygenation. Between 1/2021 and 7/2024, children affected by ureteropelvic joint obstruction (UPJO) underwent a pyeloplasty by R-RALP at Necker Enfants Malades Hospital (Paris, France), using a standardized surgical technique and a lung-protecting anesthetic protocol aimed to prevent hypercarbia.

BACKGROUND Iliac vein injuries usually require surgical intervention due to their high mortality rates. Although conservative management may be applicable in some cases of blunt trauma, the suitability of this approach for treating penetrating injuries remains underexplored. CASE REPORT A 51-year-old man sustained a common iliac vein injury following rectal impalement in a collapsing chair.
