Ultrasound has become a powerful tool for the evaluation of bowel pathology in the children. In the newborn, ultrasound (US) can be used to diagnose, stage, and follow up necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) and its complication. US has excellent sensitivity and specificity for the identification of bowel wall thickening, peristalsis, pneumatosis, portal venous gas and free air and has become an integral evaluation tool for the newborn with abdominal distention. Our educational poster will:
1. Summarize proper US equipment, technique and protocol for diagnosing and following up NEC
2. Discuss advantages and benefits of incorporating US in the evaluation of bowel in newborns
3. Illustrate the sonographic findings of mild, moderate and severe NEC through cases

Hemangioma occurs mainly in soft tissue but rarely be shown in bone. It is benign vascular bone tumors that account for 1% of all primary bone tumors. It is also called hamartoma because it is proliferating tumor originated from bone tissue. Most prevalent sites of intraosseous hemangioma are vertebrae and skull. Within the calvarium, the parietal bone is most commonly involved followed by the frontal bone. Within the facial skeleton, the mandible, maxilla, and nasal bones are involved. Hemangioma of the maxilla is very rare in newborn period. We experienced a neonatal case of intraosseous hemangioma of the right maxilla treated with embolization in an early infant period.

Primary mitochondrial disorders (PMD) in newborns can be misdiagnosed as hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), clinically and radiologically. The purpose of this study is to describe the frequency and patterns of brain MRI findings in children with PMD diagnosed during the neonatal period. Read More

Umbilical catheters provide intravascular access in the neonatal period that is lifesaving and relatively easy to obtain. However, they are associated with numerous complications related to their placement and use. These may occur because of injuries to vessels and adjacent structures at the time of or following catheter placement; an example is a liver hematoma caused by focal perforation of the umbilical or portal veins during attempted passage of the catheter into the ductus venosus. Complications may also arise from the use of a malpositioned catheter. Pleural effusions and ascites composed of total parenteral nutrition solutions may result from the use of an umbilical venous catheter that terminates in the portal venous system. Complications may be caused by otherwise well positioned, normally functioning catheters, which are innately thrombogenic and may cause thrombosis of the aorta and branches, portal venous system, or caval tributaries, with potentially devastating consequences. Finally, catheter-associated blood stream infection is always a risk during placement and subsequent use. The resulting bacteremia can lead to life-threatening sepsis and additional complications such as septic thrombosis and mycotic aneurysm. This educational review presents a spectrum of complications related to umbilical catheters, organized according to the framework outlined above. The review includes images of cases illustrating both common and unusual entities and a discussion of their salient imaging and clinical features. Read More
