RESUMO
Intussusception is one of the common conditions in children presenting with abdominal pain. The exact etiology of intussusception is unknown. Lead point is not identified in the majority of cases in children. Commonly, radiographic evidence suggests the presence of a target sign is diagnosis of intussusception. However, the presence of a double target sign in the case of intussusception is rare and depicts the presence of double intussusception. We present a case report of a 1-year-old child who presented to the emergency department with excessive crying for more than 10 hours. After the initial clinical assessment and acute management, an abdominal ultrasound revealed a double target sign on the sub-hepatic and left para-umbilical region which suggested double intussusception. No lead point was identified in our case. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment are the mainstay of management in such cases.
RESUMO
Perinatal asphyxia is one of the leading causes of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. In a developing country like Nepal, home delivery is the leading cause of perinatal asphyxia. Neuroimaging remains the diagnostic modality of choice. We present a case report of a 10-month-old infant who presented to the pediatric Out-patient-department with complaints of being unable to hold his head and unable to sit without support. Detailed history, physical examination, and developmental assessment along with lab investigation flash visual evoked potentials and Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the brain was performed. Hypoxic ischemic injury has common five types of imaging patterns in neonates. There are a few imaging differentials to be considered while evaluating the case for hypoxic injury. Clinicians and radiologists must go hand in hand to narrow down the possibilities which can fasten the treatment thereby decreasing morbidity and mortality.
