Complex communicating bronchopulmonary foregut malformation with pancreatic heterotopy depicted with fetal magnetic resonance imaging: a case report.
Ballouhey Q, Abbo O, Rouquette I, Rittié JL, Vial J, Galinier P Complex communicating bronchopulmonary foregut malformation with pancreatic heterotopy depicted with fetal magnetic resonance imaging: a case report. J Pediatr Surg. 2012 May;47(5):e7-9 Authors: Ballouhey Q, Abbo O, Rouquette I, Rittié JL, Vial J, Galinier P Abstract Bronchopulmonary foregut malformation (BPFM) is a group of rare congenital anomalies that affect the respiratory and upper gastrointestinal tracts. We report here the first case of prenatal depiction of communicating BPFM, including extrapulmonary sequestration and foregut cyst, both with pancreatic differentiation. Magnetic resonance imaging on the fetus confirmed a polymalformative syndrome with right-lung and gastric cysts and allowed the detection of respiratory and alimentary tracts communication and aberrant feeding vessels. Diagnosis was confirmed after birth by multidetector computed tomography and postnatal pathologic findings. The patient, a boy, underwent surgery for respiratory distress at 4 weeks of life. This singular case confirms the benefits of early surgery for communicating BPFM. PMID: 22595608 [PubMed - in process]
Post meningocele repair urinary ascites in a neonate-a rare presentation.
Ranjan R, Kothari PR, Gupta RK, Gupta AR, Sandlas G, Karkera PJ, Kesan KK Post meningocele repair urinary ascites in a neonate-a rare presentation. J Pediatr Surg. 2012 May;47(5):e33-8 Authors: Ranjan R, Kothari PR, Gupta RK, Gupta AR, Sandlas G, Karkera PJ, Kesan KK Abstract A full-term female neonate with a large lumbosacral meningocele developed sudden abdominal distension and urinary retention after meningocele repair. An erect abdominal radiograph showed homogeneously opacified areas with a paucity of intestinal gas. Abdominal ultrasound revealed ascites with multiple internal echoes. With a provisional diagnosis of hollow viscus perforation, an emergency laparotomy was performed, which failed to reveal any leak from the urinary tract. However, fluid analysis confirmed the diagnosis of urinary ascites. The patient developed repeated episodes of urinary retention after catheter removal. She was started on clean intermittent catheterization (CIC) to ensure adequate bladder drainage. At 6 months of follow-up, ultrasound of the urinary tract, voiding cystourethrogram, and magnetic resonance imaging of the spine were all within normal limits. The CIC was discontinued, and the patient was observed. At present, she is voiding normally with a good stream. Failure to establish normal micturition after meningocele repair and CIC requirements suggested a neurogenic cause. Bladder rupture, secondary to spinal shock resulting in bladder atonia, could not be ruled out. The perforation (leading to urinary ascites) could be owing to bladder atonia and spinal shock rather than detrusor sphincter dyssynergia. PMID: 22595607 [PubMed - in process]
Type 2 Abernethy malformation presenting as a portal vein-coronary sinus fistula.
Loomba RS, Telega GW, Gudausky TM Type 2 Abernethy malformation presenting as a portal vein-coronary sinus fistula. J Pediatr Surg. 2012 May;47(5):e25-31 Authors: Loomba RS, Telega GW, Gudausky TM Abstract We report the case of a child with Abernethy malformation with an anomalous connection between the portal vein and the coronary sinus. After 30 months of close follow-up, the patient developed hepatoblastoma, a previously documented complication of the Abernethy malformation. This case reports a unique variant of Abernethy malformation and documents the first reported case of hepatoblastoma in a patient with type 2 Abernethy malformation.

Successful use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for acute respiratory failure in a patient with chronic granulomatous disease.
Madden JL, Schober ME, Meyers RL, Bratton SL, Holland SM, Hill HR, Rollins MD Successful use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for acute respiratory failure in a patient with chronic granulomatous disease. J Pediatr Surg. 2012 May;47(5):e21-3 Authors: Madden JL, Schober ME, Meyers RL, Bratton SL, Holland SM, Hill HR, Rollins MD Abstract A 9-year-old boy presented with pneumonia, bilateral pulmonary lesions, and fulminant respiratory failure requiring support with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Open lung biopsy and subsequent bronchoscopy identified Nocardia cyriacigeorgica and Burkholderia cepacia pneumonia. Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) was diagnosed by an abnormal neutrophil oxidative burst assay. An aggressive diagnostic and therapeutic strategy, which included ECMO, allowed for patient survival and return to baseline function. No ECMO survivors with CGD have previously been reported. It is now recognized that several forms of CGD exist, and some forms may be compatible with long-term survival. Therefore, the diagnosis of CGD should not necessarily be considered a contraindication to ECMO. This is the first known survivor of CGD-related acute respiratory failure supported by ECMO.

Reduction en masse in a 7-year-old boy: an interesting case.
Bernie AM, Schwanke T, Keutgen X, Spigland N Reduction en masse in a 7-year-old boy: an interesting case. J Pediatr Surg. 2012 May;47(5):e19-20 Authors: Bernie AM, Schwanke T, Keutgen X, Spigland N Abstract Reduction en masse is a complication of inguinal hernia reduction in which a hernia is reduced back into the peritoneal cavity, but a loop of bowel remains trapped inside the hernia sac after reduction. Reduction en masse can be difficult to diagnose because of generalized and nonspecific symptoms. We describe a 7-year-old boy with an atypical presentation of reduction en masse after hernia reduction. The patient was a previously healthy child who presented with a mildly painful right inguinal mass of 1 day duration. An incarcerated hernia was noted, and after reduction, the pain dissipated for a short period, only to return with pain in the right lower quadrant and generalized peritoneal irritation. At surgical exploration, a reduction en masse was definitively diagnosed, and the incarcerated bowel was released from the hernia sac. PMID: 22595604 [PubMed - in process]
Gastrointestinal stromal tumor: a very rare cause of jejunoileal intussusception in a 6-year-old girl.
Gunaydin M, Bıçakcı U, Bozkurter AT, Elli M, Tander B, Barış S, Rızalar R, Arıtürk E, Bernay F Gastrointestinal stromal tumor: a very rare cause of jejunoileal intussusception in a 6-year-old girl. J Pediatr Surg. 2012 May;47(5):e15-8 Authors: Gunaydin M, Bıçakcı U, Bozkurter AT, Elli M, Tander B, Barış S, Rızalar R, Arıtürk E, Bernay F Abstract A 6-year-old girl was admitted to the emergency department with abdominal pain and bilious vomiting of 3 days in duration. Abdominal ultrasound examination showed an 8-cm-long intussuscepted intestinal segment with a target sign. There was a 26 × 28 × 23 mm nonperistaltic anechoic cystic mass suggestive of a duplication cyst. At laparotomy, the ileocecal region was normal with many enlarged lymph nodes from which biopsies were taken. There was a 20-cm-long intussuscepted segment at the proximal ileum close to the jejunum. After manual reduction, a 2-cm-long edematous segment resembling a duplication cyst served as the lead point. The segment was excised, and a primary bowel anastomosis was performed. She was discharged on the fifth postoperative day. The histopathologic examination revealed that the excised segment contained a gastrointestinal stromal tumor measuring 2.5 cm, with a mitotic rate of 2 to 3 mitoses per 50 high-power fields (low-risk group) showing an infiltrative growth pattern. On immunohistochemistry assay, some of the tumor cells were CD117 and CD34 positive, whereas all of them were smooth muscle actin and S-100 positive but CD10 negative. Staining index with Ki-67 was 5%. Surgical margins were free of tumor. The lymph nodes showed reactive hyperplasia. She was referred to the pediatric oncology department for further evaluation. Gastrointestinal stromal tumors are common in adults and may lead to intussusception. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first childhood case of gastrointestinal stromal tumor causing jejunoileal intussusception in the literature. PMID: 22595603 [PubMed - in process]
