To date, a standard for CRD has not been established. Plain radiographs are a cost-effective, low-risk option for studying osseous structures in great detail. It is well known that bone age is superior to chronological age for determining biological and structural maturity; for decades, pediatricians have relied on plain films of the wrist and hand for assessing bone age in children (e.g. Greulich & Pyle Atlas, Tanner Whitehouse Method). However, some have proposed new approaches with greater accuracy and reliability across all ages and ethnic groups. Here, we present a new standardized radiographic dimension, CRD, as a tool to assess developmental maturity, which can be readily obtained from standard medical imaging platforms. Read More

Isolated developmental delay (IDD) is commonly encountered in daily practice and the cause is frequently unknown. Conventional MR Imaging usually fails to reveal an abnormality.MR Spectroscopy (MRS) can assess variations in metabolite ratios and correlate this with abnormalities in brain structure such as disorders of myelination. However, the normal ranges of these metabolites is not well established in children and vary by age. We sought to use the data from multivoxel 3T MRS to characterize the metabolite ratios in different parts of the brain as a function of age in children with IDD vs age-matched controls. Read More

We report the case of a neonatal male with alveolar capillary dysplasia with misalignment of the pulmonary veins (ACD/MPV). ACD/MPV is a rare, fatal disorder of the development of the alveolar vasculature. In this disorder, alveolar capillaries are reduced in number and are improperly located within the walls of the alveoli impeding oxygen exchange. In addition to alveolar capillary abnormalities, there are other associated abnormalities with the cardiovascular, gastrointestinal tract, and genitourinary systems. In this report, we describe the case of a term male neonate with a prenatal diagnosis of hypoplastic left heart who developed respiratory distress shortly after birth. The patient required prolonged ECMO and underwent evaluation with CT angiography of the chest. CT findings included diffuse bilateral interstitial thickening with enhancing airspace disease scattered in the left lung. The respiratory distress continued to be unresponsive to treatment, with difficulty weaning ECMO and respiratory support. Life support was withdrawn on day 30. Pathologic examination at autopsy demonstrated ACD/MPV. Our case adds to the limited literature available in describing imaging findings of ACD/MPV and support for early diagnosis with lung biopsy as it can prevent aggressive futile interventions.

Se realiza en Chile tamizaje universal de displasia de cadera (DDC) con radiografía de pelvis AP (Rx Pelvis) a los 3 meses de edad, sin embargo no hay una estandarización del informe radiológico para una correcta y óptima derivación al especialista.
Objetivo: Estandarizar y validar el informe de la Rx pelvis usada en el tamizaje de la DDC.

Pediatric developmental and non-neoplastic orbital lesions are uncommon. Recognition of the most common pediatric developmental orbital lesions can aid the referring clinician in vision prognostication and prompt a search for other features in syndromic cases. Early recognition of non-neoplastic orbital lesions including infectious/inflammatory lesions, extra-ocular and ocular masses and trauma can direct appropriate and timely subspecialty referral and treatment. A structured approach to multimodality imaging work-up is important for narrowing the differential diagnosis of these lesions. This pictorial essay aims to present a multimodality imaging approach to pediatric developmental and non-neoplastic orbital lesions and highlight the use of ocular ultrasound as a first imaging modality in narrowing the differential diagnosis. We will discuss developmental lesions (persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous, congenital cataracts, coloboma, morning glory disc anomaly, retinopathy of prematurity, microphthalmia and anophthalmia), infectious/inflammatory pathologies (preseptal cellulitis, orbital cellulitis, optic neuritis, chalazion, uveitis, toxocara and toxoplasmosis), extra-ocular non-neoplastic orbital/periorbital pathologies (dermoid cyst, Langerhans cell histiocytosis, thyroid ophthalmopathy, orbital pseudotumor, optic nerve sheath arachnoid cyst), ocular non-neoplastic lesions (drusen and phthisis bulbi) and trauma (orbital blow out fracture, globe rupture, orbital foreign body, globe contusion with hyphema and retinal detachment).

Benign macrocrania (BM) is primarily diagnosed by ultrasound (US). Many children with BM have developmental delay which triggers neurosurgical evaluation and CT or MR brain imaging due to concerns for communicating hydrocephalus. The purpose of this study was to determine if CT and/or MR imaging changed the diagnosis or management in those children whose primary complaint was macrocephaly with or without developmental delay.
