Esophageal strictures are well-known to the pediatric gastroenterology and surgery communities. Such strictures can arise from congenital malformations, inflammatory disorders, gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD), or even caustic substance ingestion. Rarely, in the instances of caustic ingestion, GERD, or inflammatory disorders, total obliteration of the esophageal lumen has been described.

Background: Benign neonatal hemangiomatosis (BNH) is a rare, self-limiting subtype of infantile hemangiomas (IHs), in which infants with multiple cutaneous hemangiomas lack visceral involvement. Other subtypes of IHs exist that may mimic BNH and can be life-threatening depending on hemangioma location and size.
Clinical Findings: At birth, a 29 5 / 7 -week preterm female presented with several pinhead-sized pink papules distributed throughout her body.
Background: Immunomodulatory effects of macrolides in chronic inflammation are well known. In this study, we tested our hypothesis that azithromycin (AZT) can decrease inflammation in pediatric patients with sickle cell disease (SCD).
Methods: The use of AZT as an anti-inflammatory agent was evaluated in double-blind, placebo-controlled, cross-over study for 8 weeks of treatment with 8 weeks of washout.

Gastroschisis is an uncommon congenital defect of the abdominal wall resulting in intestinal prolapse, most commonly associated with short gut syndrome or bowel obstruction. Wandering spleen, movement of the spleen due to the underdevelopment of splenic ligaments, has a prevalence of 0.25% and is asymptomatic in 15% of paediatric cases.

Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between chorioamnionitis and vascular malperfusion on placental pathology and intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) in premature and small for gestational age (SGA) infants.
Study Design: A retrospective analysis of 263 infants ≤34 weeks gestation or ≤1800 g and their mothers was conducted by chart review for placental pathology and clinical data from 2014 to 2018. Unadjusted and adjusted odds ratios (OR) for the association of placental pathology with IVH were calculated.
