Background: Hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS) is a complication in biliary atresia (BA) children following hepatoportoenterostomy. Liver transplantation (LT) was the definitive treatment of HPS. However, little was known about the risk factors between HPS and mortalities.

Childhood-onset craniopharyngiomas, though rare, are intracranial malformations that can cause obesity by disrupting the hypothalamus, a condition that often persists even after tumor resection. This severe obesity increases the risk of diabetes and fatty liver disease in childhood. Concurrently, panhypopituitarism, including growth hormone (GH) deficiency, may develop.

Objective: Hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS) is a rare complication of metabolic associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) occurring subsequent to hypopituitarism, often developing after resection of hypothalamic or pituitary tumors. The aim of this study is to report an illustrative case of an HPS patient who was successfully treated with growth hormone replacement therapy, without liver transplantation which is conventionally regarded as the only treatment option. Additionally, we conducted a comprehensive review of published case reports of HPS in the pediatric population.

Article Synopsis
  • ADCs in Cancer Therapy
  • : Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), like ado-trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1), are a significant breakthrough in cancer treatment, specifically for HER2-positive breast cancer, allowing targeted delivery of drugs to tumor cells while sparing normal tissue, but they can cause severe toxicity requiring monitoring.
  • Hepatopulmonary Syndrome (HPS) Cases
  • : A case series of four patients who received T-DM1 revealed they developed hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS), which involves severe respiratory issues and is linked to long-term liver damage caused by the drug.

Radiation Pneumonitis after Yttrium-90 Radioembolization: A Systematic Review.

J Vasc Interv Radiol

October 2024

Diagnostic Imaging and Interventional Radiology, Moffitt Cancer Center, Tampa, Florida; Department of Radiology, Semmelweis University, Budapest, Hungary.

Purpose: To evaluate the available evidence of lung dosimetry and radiation pneumonitis (RP).

Materials And Methods: The guideline regarding the maximum tolerated lung dose for yttrium-90 (Y) radioembolization is an expert opinion (Level 5 evidence) based on a case series of 5 patients and recommends keeping the absorbed radiation dose to the lungs below 30 Gy per treatment and 50 Gy in a lifetime to prevent RP. The current understanding of the risks of RP is minimal despite its debilitating nature and high mortality rate.
