Paediatric interventional radiology is an evolving speciality which is able to offer numerous minimally invasive treatments for gastrointestinal tract pathologies. Here we describe interventions performed by paediatric interventional radiologists on the alimentary tract from the mouth to the rectum. The interventions include sclerotherapy, stricture management by dilation, stenting and adjunctive therapies such as Mitomycin C administration and enteral access for feeding, motility assessment and administration of enemas.

Examining the Utility of Lateral Neck X-Rays in Pediatric Otolaryngology.
Ann Otol Rhinol Laryngol

Department of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, University of Minnesota Medical School, Minneapolis, MN, USA.
Objective: The utility of lateral neck X-rays is unclear in pediatric otolaryngology. Past research showed that lateral neck X-ray did not change treatment decisions for children with suspected foreign body aspiration. This study examines the utility of lateral neck X-ray for patients also receiving otolaryngology consults for any indication.

Introduction: In the past decade, flow diverters (FDs) have increasingly been used to treat cerebral aneurysms with unfavorable morphology in which other endovascular techniques fall short of being as effective. In-stent stenosis (ISS) is one of the most puzzling and frequent risks of flow diversion therapy observed on follow-ups. This complication, although mostly placid in its clinical course, can have dire consequences if patients become symptomatic.

Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology, University of Leipzig, Leipzig, Germany.
Aim Of The Study: Over the past few years, diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) has become an increasingly important diagnostic tool in the diagnosis of liver lesions. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the diagnostic benefit of high b-value computed diffusion-weighted imaging (c-DWI) compared with standard DWI in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and whether there is an association with microvascular invasion (MVI).
Material And Methods: In total, 37 patients with histopathologically confirmed HCC were retrospectively ana-lyzed.

Fibromuscular Dysplasia (FMD) is a nonatherosclerotic, noninflammatory vascular disorder predominantly affecting women aged 18 to 65 years. This case report highlights a 74-year-old female diagnosed with FMD incidentally during evaluation for deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Imaging revealed significant vascular anomalies, including a giant intracranial carotid aneurysm and a hypoplastic iliac vein with extensive collateral formation.

We report the management of a convexity dural arteriovenous fistula (dAVF) in an uncommon anterior superior sagittal sinus (SSS) location. This was a high-risk Cognard IIa+b dAVF, which is notoriously complex to treat. Endoscopic management alone for complex SSS dAVFs is challenging due to the often bilateral arterial supply to the fistula, as demonstrated in this case.
