Necrotizing Enterocolitis in an Infant With a History of Twin-Twin Transfusion Syndrome: A Case Report.

This case report describes necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in an infant with a history of twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS). TTTS is a volume imbalance where the anastomosis at the vascular equator between the two placentae shifts from the donor to the recipient twin. This causes a higher risk for NEC, a marked inflammation caused by bacterial infection into the intestinal wall, from prematurity and intestinal hypoperfusion.

Utilizing Infantile Spasm Seizure Activity as a Baseline Vital in the Setting of Acute Pseudomonas aeruginosa Pneumonia.

The objective of this case report is to describe and document a decrease in seizure activity in a 16-year-old female with a past medical history of Aicardi syndrome (AS) and infantile spasms (IS) while being treated for acute pneumonia with pleural effusion. This patient presented to the pediatric emergency department with a chief complaint of fever, tachycardia, increased nasal secretions, and oxygen requirement at home. She was admitted to the general pediatric medical floor for treatment of an adenovirus infection due to her having a complex medical history and her being medically unstable.
