Pelvic ultrasonography (US) is a simple and non-invasive radiologic test to evaluate the pelvic organs. It requires a full bladder for better visualization. Our case is a 14-year-old female with diabetes insipidus (DI) who admitted to the pediatric emergency service with the complaints of seizure and agitation after drinking 4 liters of water in one hour for a pelvic US examination due to work-...

Emergency treatment in the pediatric trauma patient with a pelvic fracture is orientated to the concepts established in adults (59). The main parameters in decision making are the hemodynamic situation and the grade of instability of the pelvis (36). It has to be considered that the child has a longer hemodynamic compensation before a severe shock state results in a potential near fatal situati...

A one-year-old alpine wether was presented for emergency evaluation of stranguria. Diagnostics identified a moderately distended bladder and mild dehydration. Preliminary lateral radiographs two metallic structures consistent with projectile pellets in the pelvic perineal regions no evidence radiopaque uroliths. tube cystostomy performed, contrast urethrogram revealed one region proximity to ur...

Ewing sarcoma of the abdomen is a rare entity in pediatric oncology and represents a technical challenge both for surgeons and radiation oncologists. We document the case of a young female patient with primary disseminated, intraperitoneal Ewing sarcoma who after an excellent response to chemotherapy received preoperative whole abdominal-pelvic radiotherapy with good tolerance.

introduction: detection of caries lesions on approximal surfaces of posterior teeth is difficult, since wide contact points hamper direct visual inspection. due to the importance of the early detection of dental caries, the aim of this study is to compare the performance of different methods (visual, bitewing radiography and diagnodent) in detecting approximal caries in primary molars. methods:...

PURPOSE Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a sensitive, non-invasive modality to diagnose acetabular labral pathology, and the normal variants of the acetabular labrum have been characterized in adults. However, the prevalence of labral pathology in the asymptomatic pediatric population is unknown. METHODS All pelvic MRIs performed at a large tertiary-care children's hospital were reviewed d...

BACKGROUND Appendicitis is a common pediatric condition requiring urgent surgical intervention to prevent complications. Pelvic ultrasound (US) as a diagnostic aid has become increasingly common. Despite its advantages, evidence suggests US can lead to delayed definitive management. OBJECTIVE The objective was to test the hypothesis that US is associated with an increased time to appendectomy...
