Intracranial complications of pediatric hematologic disorders: computed tomographic assessment.

Computed tomography (CT) findings in the intracranial complications of leukemia, hemophilia, and sickle cell anemia were reviewed in 19 children with these hematologic disorders. CT demonstrated intracranial hemorrhage, infarction, intracerebral mass, and post-therapeutic atrophy and leukoencephalopathy in leukemic children. Intracerebral, subarachnoid, subdural, and epidural hemorrhage was documented in patients with hemophilia. Bland and hemorrhagic infarctions were identified in children with sickle cell anemia. CT proved valuable in documenting the presence and extent of these abnormalities, titrating factor replacement in hemophiliac patients, and monitoring therapeutic toxicity in leukemic patients.

MR imaging of osteoid osteoma.

An osteoid osteoma was detected in a young boy with a classic history for this lesion. Plain radiography was not helpful but ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated the tumor nidus.

Sonographic evaluation of caudal spine anomalies in children.

Retrospective analysis of B-mode spinal sonography in 15 pediatric patients with spinal dysraphism and caudal anomalies documents a high degree of accuracy in identifying the presence, site, size, and configuration of meningoceles; and slightly less accuracy in identifying extension of neural tissue into the meningocele and presence of concurrent lipoma. B-mode sonography is capable of displaying spinal anatomy clearly enough to permit accurate retrospective interpretation of pathologic changes. When radiologists learn to interpret sonographic images well enough to achieve equal accuracy in prospective diagnosis, then B-mode spinal sonography will supplant computed tomography and myelography as the preferred screening procedure in the initial evaluation of children with selected anomalies of the caudal spine.
