Compression syndrome is the entrapment of any vessel or luminal structure by another vessel. These are often due to an underlying anatomic anomaly or variant. Though seen in young and healthy individuals, compression syndromes may have severe clinical outcomes including arterial ischemia, embolism, early satiety, hypertension, weight loss, dyspnea, venous stasis and thrombosis. The purpose of this educational exhibit is to familiarize radiologists and clinicians alike with the clinical presentation, best diagnostic imaging modalities and characteristic imaging features for the diagnosis of compression syndromes in the pediatric population.

1.To review the embryology of female genital system. 2.To define Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome (MRKH) and atypical MRKH, also called MURCS(Müllerian aplasia, unilateral renal agenesis and anomalies of the cervico-thoracic somites). 3.To discuss the imaging findings and clinical management of classic MRKH and contrast it to MURCS. 4.To discuss the rare association of MRKH and MURCS with gonadal dysgenesis/agenesis. US and MR were evaluated to determine efficacy of identifying adnexae. Read More

Common causes of bowel obstruction (BO) in infants and children include <u>a</u>ppendicitis, <u>a</u>dhesions, <u>i</u>ntussusception, <u>i</u>nguinal hernia, <u>m</u>idgut volvulus, and <u>M</u>eckel's diverticulum, for which the mnemonic "AIM” is used. We present uncommon causes of BO in infants and children and review the clinical presentation, imaging findings, and surgical diagnoses. Read More

Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) affects approximately 100,000 individuals in the US. Despite medical advances, morbidity is high and their lifespan remains shortened. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is the only curative treatment to date and as outcomes improve its use has increased. Complications of HSCT are frequent and some literature suggests there is a higher incidence in the SCD population. In addition, preexisting vasculopathy in this population may contribute to an increased incidence of post-transplant CNS toxicity. We present the imaging findings of HCST complications in children with SCD. Read More

The canal of Nuck, described by Anton Nuck in 1691, is an evagination of peritoneum into the labia majora and represents a patent processus vaginalis in females. While it usually undergoes obliteration soon after birth, it may be complicated by the accumulation of fluid (female hydrocele), or herniation of the bowel, the adnexa or the uterus into this potential space.We discuss the embryology of the Canal of Nuck and the various complications that may arise in infants and young girls with a patent canal.

The purpose of this exhibit is to describe 3D ultrasonography (3DUS) of the head in neonates. Traditionally, 2D ultrasonography has been used for evaluation of the neonatal brain. 3DUS is a more recent advanced technique in which a volume of tissue is scanned in a single acquisition, and the 3D data set is subsequently manipulated using specialized software. This exhibit reviews current literature relating to 3DUS, demonstrates basic technical aspects of 3DUS, describes 3DUS of normal brain, and illustrates 3DUS features of acquired and congenital neonatal brain disorders.
