Disappearing Abdominal or Pelvic Masses in neonates, infants and young children: what a radiologist should know.
Purpose or Case Report: Background:
There are a variety of masses in neonates, infants and young children that may disappear spontaneously without active intervention. However, there has been no published review of what type of masses could disappear and what the spectrum of their imaging features is. It is essential for radiologists to understand imaging features of these entities in order to provide pediatrician and pediatric surgeons with critical information that will enable them to manage these patients expectantly without surgical intervention.
Purpose:
The entities that will be illustrate in this review include, among others: multicystic dysplastic kidneys, suprarenal masses (including intraabdominal sequestration, neuroblastoma and adrenal hemorrhage), ovarian cyst and torsion, duplication cyst of gastrointestinal tract, cyst of liver and kidneys. We will:
1. Review the clinical and imaging features of these masses including their changes during follow-up imaging studies.
2. Emphasize the imaging features that are helpful in differentiating these entities from other entities that require active intervention
3. Describe an appropriate approach to deal with uncertain diagnoses.
