The purpose of this article is to review some of the different causes of scrotal pain in the pediatric population. In the acute setting, the most common cause of testicular pain is testicular torsion, however, the causative etiologies are broad. These include infectious, inflammatory, traumatic, referred pain, idiopathic or chronic causes. Sonography is the imaging modality of choice for the evaluation of scrotal pain in children. We will present various causes of scrotal pain in children, apart from testicular torsion and demonstrate comprehensive ultrasound features of each. Accurate differentiation and a definitive diagnosis without delay, is crucial for the proper management and favourable outcome of the patient. Read More

The differential diagnosis of ovarian tumors in children and adolescents is distinct from adults. Imaging features on ultrasound (US), computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and PET/CT can help differentiate aggressive from non-aggressive ovarian tumors. A large mass with solid components and heterogeneity on US, CT and MRI, and a high metabolic rate on FDG PET, indicates an increase risk of malignancy. Adequate diagnosis and staging of ovarian tumors in children and adolescents is crucial for proper management, which includes minimally invasive and function-preserving outcomes, with a curative intent. The purpose of this educational poster is to illustrate the imaging manifestations of some of the pediatric ovarian tumors based on our experience at our hospital. Read More

Congenital neuroblastoma is one of the most common neoplasia in the neonatal period. These tumours are derived from neural crest cells of adrenal gland medulla or sympathetic ganglia. Early detection of congenital metastatic neuroblastoma is important for a favourble outcome. Delay in the early diagnosis and treatment may lead to death and/or complications. In this exhibit, we discuss the radiological findings of two different cases of congenital metastatic neuroblastoma. We will also discuss the radiological findings of another case which may present as a mimic. Read More

Congenital extrahepatic portosystemic shunt (CEPS), also known as Abernethy malformation, is a rare congenital vascular abnormality in which portosplenomesenteric blood drains directly into the systemic venous system, thus bypassing the liver via an extrahepatic shunt. CEPS classification is based on the shunt anatomy and presence of an intrahepatic portal venous supply, which affects the form of definitive treatment available. Complications can arise due to the metabolic abnormalities and altered hemodynamics brought about by the shunt. Imaging plays a crucial role in the initial diagnosis and surgical planning, as well as the identification and monitoring of complications. The purpose of this educational exhibit is to review the CEPS embryological origins, classification system and complications through various case examples across different imaging modalities (ultrasound, CT, MRI and angiography).
