This is an overview of modern aspects concerning diagnostics and therapy in children with acute hematogenous osteomyelitis. A close cooperation of pediatricians, pediatric surgeons, microbiologists and radiologists in this field is essential.
This is an overview of the most important aspects of pathogenesis, etiology, diagnostics, therapy and differential diagnostics of the subacute and primary chronic osteomyelitis in children. This group of disease includes Brodie's abscess, plasma cellular osteomyelitis, sclerosing osteomyelitis (Garré) and the chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis. The treatment of children with these not completely understood diseases requires a close cooperation between pediatricians, pediatric surgeons and radiologists.
The normalisation of head circumference and ventricular dilatation are aims of the therapy of hydrocephalus. Sonographic follow-up after ventriculo-peritoneal shunt demonstrates a changed ventricular morphology and inform about clinical relevant questions in regard of effectivity and complications of the shunt. The different morphological development of liquor systems in spite of comparable premises is discussed on the base of 47 children with myelomeningoceles.
Congenital abnormal communications between separated pulmonary tissue and the oesophagus are rarities. Only about 50 cases have been reported in the literature. For all different forms the term of bronchopulmonary foregut malformation (BPFM) was first applied by Gerle and his coworkers in 1968. Major symptoms of this condition involved respiratory distress, cough, dyspnea, vomiting and repeated pneumonia. This paper presents reports of two own patients. In both cases was confirmed a bronchopulmonary foregut malformation in the lower right thorax with ectopic main bronchus communicating into the distal oesophagus. According to the literature we describe our own experience and discuss embryologic pathogenesis and surgical consequences for children.

In a boy aged 9 years and 11 months pain developed in the left upper abdomen following Salmonella enteritis infection. Purulent splenitis was diagnosed by sonography. Ultrasonically guided percutaneous puncture and drainage, and appropriate chemotherapy led to a marked improvement in the clinical picture and finally to complication-free remission. In a review of the literature the problems associated with purulent splenitis and the possibility of treating it by percutaneous puncture are pointed out. Purulent splenitis should be considered in all patients with temperatures and unexplained abdominal pain.
