Pediatric hydrocephalus is a common disease in the United States, accounting for more than 39,000 annual admissions and a healthcare cost of $1.4-2.0 billion. Timely detection and intervention of intracranial hypertension (ICP), a complication of hydrocephalus, is associated with an improved neurologic outcome. This research aims to evaluate the feasibility of assessing the movement of the floor of the third ventricle and intracranial arterial pulsations on mid sagittal view of the grayscale brain ultrasound for predicting ICP in neonates and infants.

Self-resolving ileocolic intussusception (ICI) represents a variant of intussusception. Although this transient form is encountered clinically on a sporadic basis, descriptive imaging criteria summarizing a cohort of self-resolving intussusceptions is lacking. This study aimed to characterize the imaging features of spontaneously resolving ICI and to assess inter-rater agreement among pediatric radiologists. Read More
