is endemic in Mayotte, and cases of meningitis due to angiostrongyliasis are regularly diagnosed in young children. In a 14-month-old boy with slow-onset psychomotor regression, brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed communicating hydrocephalus. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction for on cerebrospinal fluid was positive. The evolution was favorable with repeated lumbar punctures and a 2-week treatment with albendazole and high-dose corticosteroids.

Surgical Repair of Anatomically Corrected Malposition of the Great Arteries Associated With Ventricular Septal Defect.
JACC Case Rep
January 2025
Mécénat Cardiac Surgery, Paris, France.
Anatomically corrected malposition (ACM) of the great arteries is an exceedingly rare congenital heart disease. This conotruncal anomaly manifests with an L-malposition of the aorta (situs solitus, D loop, aorta to the left of the pulmonary artery) with normal ventriculoarterial concordance. A 14-month-old boy presented with an ACM associated with a ventricular septal defect that was successfully repaired.

Aneurysmal bone cysts (ABCs) are aggressive, osteolytic lesions usually seen in childhood and young adulthood. The patient's age, location, and behavior of the lesion in the bone may cause patients to present with different clinical findings. Appropriate treatment of these rare, aggressive bone lesions is essential for recurrence.

This case report presents a 14-month-old boy with a history of cystic fibrosis (CF) carrier status, diagnosed following a positive newborn screening for CF (CF-NBS), who developed symptoms suggestive of Pseudo-Bartter syndrome (PBS). Despite initial evaluations not meeting CF diagnostic criteria, subsequent investigations revealed an intermediate sweat chloride concentration, a second CFTR mutation, and CFTR dysfunction through rectal organoid morphology analysis (ROMA) consistent with CFTR-related disorder (CFTR-RD). This case raises important considerations regarding the diagnosis and management of CFTR-RD.

Space-making particle therapy, which consists of surgical placement of a spacer followed by particle therapy, has become a solution to the problem of normal organs being exposed to a high radiation dose. A bioabsorbable spacer is particularly suitable for this purpose, but is not widely used. Surgical placement of a spacer is performed mostly to protect the digestive tract, but can also be used to protect the kidneys.
