Intestinal rotation abnormality (IRA) can lead to catastrophic events from midgut volvulus. In a child that presents with bilious vomiting, urgent surgery should be performed. Ladd’s surgery is associated with complications in 10% to 20% of the patients. In this review we will show that in selected asymptomatic children with IRA, imaging can help decide if observation should be considered rather than surgery. Read More

To summarize our experience in diagnosis neonatal bowel obstruction in cystic fibrosis (CF) patient using contrast enema study. This pictorial review will illustrate and discuss several aspects of imaging findings in non-complicated and complicated meconium ileus as well as the mimicker. Key imaging findings, pearls and pitfalls in diagnosis and guided treatment will be made, emphasizing what radiologists need to know. Correlation with intraoperative findings and follow-up images will also be provided.<b> </b> Read More

Bronchopulmonary sequestration (BPS) is a rare congenital abnormality of the lower airway resulting in a mass of nonfunctional lung tissue. Our purpose is to present the prenatal and postnatal imaging findings of a spectrum of BPS cases and to correlate with pathology findings. We present a series of BPS evaluated with prenatal imaging (US and MRI) and postnatal imaging (radiographs, US, CT, and MRI). Pathology will be reviewed. Our series includes isolated BPS, hybrid BPS associated with cystic pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM), BPS associated with diaphragmatic hernia, and challenging cases of intradiaphragmatic, subdiaphragmatic, and mediastinal sequestrations that can mimic other masses. We also include a case of sequestration with an associated communication to the GI tract (bronchopulmonary foregut malformation) and a case of isolated BPS that spontaneously involutes over time.
