Megacolon: constipation or volvulus?
Pediatric abdominal complaints are common presentations in emergency departments, and emergency physicians are challenged every day with a vast array of gastrointestinal disorders. Differentiating the child with a benign abdominal process from the child with a more serious condition can be difficult. We report a case of massive dilatation of the colon due to fecal impaction. Means for distinguishing constipation from alternative diagnoses are discussed.

Latex-induced anaphylactic reaction in a child with spina bifida.
Allergy to natural rubber latex presents a unique challenge in the emergency department. Latex allergy in children is most commonly identified in patients who have undergone multiple operations for neural tube defects or genitourinary anomalies. We report a life-threatening anaphylactic reaction to latex in a patient with spina bifida even with latex-free precautions.
