RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The outbreak of COVID-19 has become pandemic. Pediatric population has been less studied than adult population and prompt diagnosis is challenging due to asymptomatic or mild episodes. Radiology is an important complement to clinical and epidemiological features. OBJECTIVE: To establish the most common CXR patterns in children with COVID-19, evaluate interobserver correlation and to discuss the role of imaging techniques in the management of children. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Forty-four patients between 0 and 16 years of age with confirmed SARS-Cov-2 infection and CXR were selected. Two paediatric radiologists independently evaluated the images and assessed the type of abnormality, distribution and evolution when available. RESULTS: Median age was 79.8 months (ranging from 2 weeks to 16 years of age). Fever was the most common symptom (43.5 %). 90 % of CXR showed abnormalities. Peribronchial cuffing was the most common finding (86.3 %) followed by GGOs (50 %). In both cases central distribution was more common than peripheral. Consolidations accounted for 18.1 %. Normal CXR, pleural effusion, and altered cardiomediastinal contour were the least common. CONCLUSION: The vast majority of CXR showed abnormalities in children with COVID-19. However, findings are nonspecific. Interobserver correlation was good in describing consolidations, normal x-rays and GGOs. Imaging techniques have a role in the management of children with known or suspected COVID-19, especially in those with moderate or severe symptoms or with underlying risk factors.

RESUMO

La transposición congénitamente corregida de grandes arterias (TGAcc) implica una doble discordancia: atrio-ventricular y ventriculo-arterial. Presentamos las imágenes de resonancia magnética cardíaca de una paciente de 9 años con TGAcc, comunicación interventricular y coartación de aorta, a quien se le realizó cerclaje pulmonar, corrección de la coartación y posterior "doble switch". Se realiza una revisión de la patología y de las complicaciones a evaluar tras la intervención quirúrgica


Congenitally corrected transposition of the great vessels implies double discordance: atrioventricular and ventriculoarterial. We present cardiac magnetic resonance images from a 9-year-old girl with congenitally corrected transposition of the great vessels, interventricular communication, and coarctation of the aorta who was treated with pulmonary artery banding, correction of coarctation, and posterior double switch. We also review the disease and the complications that should be evaluated after the surgical intervention

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: In severe cases of pectus excavatum (PE) the sternal depression may cause distortion of the cardiac chambers and great vessels. The aim of our study was to determine if the sternal impingement causes significant inferior vena cava (IVC) compression. METHODS: Retrospective study of patients with severe PE assessed between 2015-2017. The antero-posterior (AP) and transverse diameters of the suprahepatic IVC were measured on a cardiac-MRI at the level of the diaphragmatic hiatus. Results were compared with patients that had a thoracic image study performed for other causes, adjusting for age and sex. RESULTS: Among the 81 patients, 28 cases and 53 controls, 63% were males and had a mean age of 12.9±0.5 yrs. Significant differences were found between groups in both AP and transverse diameter of the IVC: 13.3±0.75 mm vs. 15.8±0.76 mm (p=0.001) and 28.8±1.34 mm vs. 27.1±0.89mm (p=0.045) respectively. After adjusting for age and sex, these differences were only statistically significant for AP IVC diameter in males 12.7±0.5 mm (95% CI 11.66-13.79 mm) vs. 16.6±0.5 mm (95% CI 15.69-17.56 mm) (p=0.000). The Pearson correlation coefficient for the Haller index was r=0.471 (p=0.01). CONCLUSION: Male patients with severe sternal depression show changes in the IVC diameter that may correspond to compression. These changes are correlated with the severity of the deformity and can justify certain clinical symptoms and cardiac function abnormalities in patients with severe PE.


INTRODUCCION: En casos graves de pectus excavatum (PE), el hundimiento esternal ocasiona distorsión del corazón y grandes vasos. Nuestro propósito fue determinar si existe compresión de la vena cava inferior (VCI) en estos pacientes. METODOS: Estudio retrospectivo de pacientes con PE grave valorados entre 2015 y 2017. Se efectuaron mediciones del diámetro anteroposterior (AP) y transverso de la VCI suprahepática a su paso por el hiato diafragmático en imágenes de RM-cardiaca. Estas se compararon con las medidas de pacientes a los que se les realizó una RM o TC por otro motivo, ajustando los datos para edad y sexo. RESULTADOS: De los 81 pacientes, 28 casos y 53 controles, el 63% fueron varones con una edad media de 12,9±0,5 años. Se identificaron diferencias significativas entre los grupos, tanto del diámetro AP como del transverso: 13,3±0,75 mm vs. 15,8±0,76 mm (p=0,001) y 28,8±1,34 mm vs. 27,1±0,89 mm (p=0,045), respectivamente. Tras ajustar los datos para edad y sexo, estas diferencias solo fueron significativas para el diámetro AP de la VCI en hombres: 12,7±0,5 mm (IC95% 11,66-13,79 mm) vs. 16,6±0,5 mm (IC95% 15,69-17,56 mm) (p=0,000). El coeficiente de correlación de Pearson del diámetro transverso de la VCI con el índice de Haller fue r=0,471 (p=0,01). CONCLUSION: Los varones con un hundimiento esternal grave asocian alteraciones en el diámetro de la VCI que pueden indicar compresión de la misma. Estos cambios se correlacionan con la gravedad del PE y podrían justificar algunos síntomas y alteraciones cardiovasculares encontradas en estos pacientes.

RESUMO

Objective: The new 2013/59 EURATOM Directive (ED) demands dosimetric optimisation procedures without undue delay. The aim of this study was to optimise paediatric conventional radiology examinations applying the ED without compromising the clinical diagnosis. METHODS: Automatic dose management software (ADMS) was used to analyse 2678 studies of children from birth to 5 years of age, obtaining local diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) in terms of entrance surface air kerma. Given local DRL for infants and chest examinations exceeded the European Commission (EC) DRL, an optimisation was performed decreasing the kVp and applying the automatic control exposure. To assess the image quality, an analysis of high-contrast resolution (HCSR), signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and figure of merit (FOM) was performed, as well as a blind test based on the generalised estimating equations method. RESULTS: For newborns and chest examinations, the local DRL exceeded the EC DRL by 113%. After the optimisation, a reduction of 54% was obtained. No significant differences were found in the image quality blind test. A decrease in SNR (-37%) and HCSR (-68%), and an increase in FOM (42%), was observed. CONCLUSION: ADMS allows the fast calculation of local DRLs and the performance of optimisation procedures in babies without delay. However, physical and clinical analyses of image quality remain to be needed to ensure the diagnostic integrity after the optimisation process. Advances in knowledge: ADMS are useful to detect radiation protection problems and to perform optimisation procedures in paediatric conventional imaging without undue delay, as ED requires.

RESUMO

Introducción: Ciertos gérmenes enteroinvasivos causantes de diarrea, como Salmonella, pueden producir abdomen agudo en un porcentaje pequeño de casos. La apendicitis aguda es la urgencia quirúrgica más frecuente en la edad pediátrica, cuyo diagnóstico puede retrasarse debido a la presencia de diarrea asociada. Caso clínico: Se presenta el caso clínico de una paciente de 11 años de edad, con diarrea, vómitos, dolor abdominal y un coprocultivo positivo para Salmonella D9. Inicialmente, ni la exploración abdominal ni las pruebas complementarias permitían descartar una apendicitis aguda, por lo que la paciente fue ingresada para su observación. Durante el ingreso presentó una evolución tórpida, y en el noveno día de ingreso se confirmó en la ecografía abdominal una imagen compatible con un plastrón apendicular, por lo que se realizó una apendicectomía abierta. Se estableció el diagnóstico final de salmonelosis con apendicitis aguda perforada y peritonitis. Conclusión: Es necesario tener presente el posible diagnóstico de apendicitis en los pacientes que, aunque tengan una gastroenteritis aguda, presenten una exploración abdominal sugestiva de patología quirúrgica. Es fundamental realizar las pruebas complementarias necesarias para establecer un diagnóstico correcto en caso de dudas y, si es preciso, un tratamiento quirúrgico (AU)


Introduction: Certain enteroinvasive germs which cause diarrhea, such as Salmonella, can produce acute abdomen in a small percentage of cases. Acute appendicitis is the most frequent surgical emergency at pediatric ages and it may be diagnosed late due to the presence of associated diarrhea. Case report: We present a clinical case of an 11-year-old female patient with diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain and a positive stool test for D9 Salmonella. Initially, neither the abdominal exam nor the complementary tests allowed to dismiss the possibility of acute appendicitis, so the patient was admitted for surveillance. While admitted, she presented a torpid evolution. On the 9th day of admission, an abdominal ultrasound confirmed an image compatible with appendicular inflammatory mass, so an open appendectomy was performed. The patient's final diagnosis was salmonellosis with perforated acute appendicitis and peritonitis. Conclusion: It is necessary to have in mind a possible diagnosis of appendicitis for patients whose abdominal examination suggests a surgical pathology, even if they suffer from acute gastroenteritis. When in doubt about the diagnosis, carrying out the necessary complementary tests is crucial for a right diagnosis and, if necessary, a surgical treatment (AU)

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION/AIM OF THE STUDY: In patients with PE, cardiovascular alterations ensue as a result of the mediastinum compression caused by sternum impingement and is responsible of many of the symptoms. Anatomical and functional assessment is of the utmost importance for a comprehensive understanding of the disease and an adequate treatment plan. Our aim was to describe the use of magnetic resonance image (MRI) in the study of PE and whether it is comparable to imaging techniques. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A retrospective study of the first 10 patients in which an MRI was performed as part of PE assessment within august 2015-2016. PE indexes were evaluated: Haller, correction, asymmetry, as well as sternal rotation. An analysis of right ventricular function was carried out comparing echocardiogram and MRI. RESULTS: MRI scan on 10 patients showed the following findings: Haller index: inspiration: 3.75 (3.5-7.3) and expiration 4,9 (3.9-10.8), correction index of 24% (5-37%) and a sternal rotation of 12º (0-31º). The cardiovascular study showed a median ejection fraction of the right ventricle (EFRV) of 50% (38-64%), with 9 of the 10 patients under the normal value of 61% (54-71%). Echocardiographic findings underestimated functional alterations in all of the patients. CONCLUSION: This initial study suggests that the use of MRI as a test of choice in the evaluation of PE subject to surgical correction is feasible. Absence of radiation offers the capacity of a complete and dynamic anatomical as well as cardiovascular study.


INTRODUCCION/OBJETIVOS: Las alteraciones cardiovasculares provocadas por la impronta del esternón en el mediastino causan muchos de los síntomas que presentan los pacientes con pectus excavatum (PE). Su estudio anatómico y funcional es fundamental para el entendimiento de la enfermedad y para la elección del tratamiento adecuado. Nuestro objetivo es describir el uso de la resonancia magnética (RM) en el estudio de los pacientes con PE, y si esta prueba es equiparable o superior a otras técnicas de imagen. PACIENTES Y METODOS: Evaluación retrospectiva de los resultados de las primeras 10 RM indicadas en pacientes con PE en el período de octubre 2015-2016. Se analizaron los índices de PE: Haller, corrección, asimetría, así como el grado de rotación esternal. Además se realizó un análisis de la función ventricular derecha mediante ecocardiografía y RM. RESULTADOS: Los 10 pacientes evaluados con RM presentaron: índice de Haller en inspiración de 3,75 (3,5-7,3) y en espiración de 4,9 (3,9-10,8), índice de corrección 24% (5-37%) y rotación esternal 12º (0º-31º). Del estudio cardiovascular destaca una fracción de eyección del ventrículo derecho (FEVD) del 50% (38-64%), con 9 de los pacientes por debajo del valor normal 61% (54-71%). La ecocardiografía infraestimó la alteración funcional en la mayoría de casos, al calificarla de normal en el 100%. CONCLUSION: Este estudio inicial sugiere que el uso de la RM como prueba de elección en la evaluación del PE susceptible de corrección quirúrgica es factible. La ausencia de radicación ofrece la capacidad de un estudio tanto anatómico como cardiovascular completo y dinámico.

RESUMO

Es posible diagnosticar a cualquier paciente con enfermedad cardiovascular utilizando diferentes métodos que varían ampliamente en sus requerimientos técnicos, beneficios, limitaciones y costes. El uso adecuado de cada una de estos test alternativos requiere una integración de expertos en estos métodos colaborando con los servicios de diagnóstico clínico. Las pruebas diagnósticas deben evaluarse por su impacto en los resultados clínicos, mediante criterios que permitan juzgar la calidad diagnóstica. Deben estar validadas y han de desarrollarse guías clínicas que comparen las diferentes técnicas y que permitan orientar a los especialistas en cada caso particular. Pretendemos hacer un repaso de las novedades tecnológicas en las diferentes modalidades de diagnóstico por imagen, intentando valorar los pros y contras de las principales técnicas de uso cotidiano (ecocardiografía, TAC y RNM), las guías existentes en la actualidad y tendencias de futuro (AU)


It is possible to diagnose any patient with cardiovascular disease using different methods that widely vary in their technical requirements, benefits, limitations and costs. The adequate use of each one of these alternative test requires the incorporation of experts in these methods, collaborating with clinical diagnosis services. The diagnostic test should be evaluated for their impact on the clinical results using criteria that make it possible to judge the diagnostic quality. The should be validated and clinical guides should be developed that compare the different techniques and make it possible to orient the specialist in each specific case. We aim to review the technological novelties in the different imaging diagnostic modalities, attempting to evaluate the pros and cons of the principal techniques of daily use (Echocardiography, CT scan and MRI), the currently existing guidelines and the future tendencies (AU)

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To describe an additional case of incomplete sagittal septum of the bladder. METHODS: A case of incomplete sagittal septum of the bladder in a young, asymptomatic patient with paralysis of both lower limbs is presented and literature is briefly reviewed. RESULTS: The diagnosis was made by intravenous urography performed five years after the accident that had caused the paralysis. Radiological evaluation showed an "apple heart" bladder with reduced capacity. No treatment was required. CONCLUSIONS: Incomplete sagittal septum of the bladder is rare. To our knowledge, only 7 cases have been previously reported. Incomplete sagittal septum is like complete septum, but both cavities communicate anteriorly or distally, according to the direction and depth the septum protrudes into the bladder.
