The overall incidence of birth trauma ranges from 2-3%, with the large majority consisting of superficial soft tissue injury. Musculoskeletal birth trauma tends to occur most commonly around the shoulder, with clavicle and brachial plexus injuries representing the majority of MSK trauma. Perinatal long bone fractures are quite rare, with most affecting the humeral/femoral diaphysis. Physeal fractures represent an even more uncommon entity and can be radiographically occult due to non-ossification of the epiphysis in neonates. In our educational poster, we present a variety of perinatal fractures of the physis which were initially occult on radiograph, but became evident on further workup with MR. Read More

Single stage corpus callosotomy is a surgery utilized in patients with intractable epilepsy that prevents the spread of seizure impulses to the contralateral hemisphere. This study aimed to evaluate post corpus callosotomy findings on fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)-computed tomography (CT), specifically a finding noted in which a cerebral hemisphere demonstrated new (compared to baseline PET-CT) hypometabolism without corresponding magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) lesion. Our aim was to determine if this finding had clinical relevance in predicting post procedure seizure rates. Read More
