Application of transcranial Doppler sonography in children with acute neurologic events due to primary cerebral and West Nile vasculitis.

We describe the use of serial transcranial Doppler studies to evaluate neurovascular disease in three girls presenting with acute stroke due to primary cerebral vasculitis (n = 2) and West Nile vasculitis (n = 1). Correlation of abnormal findings on transcranial Doppler sonography was compared with those of MR angiography and conventional angiography in each child. All three girls had left middle cerebral artery infarcts on MR imaging, with an abnormal left middle cerebral artery detected by MR angiography, conventional angiography, and transcranial Doppler sonography in each child. In all three cases, findings of the transcranial Doppler sonography, MR imaging, and catheter angiography were concordant.

Conventional versus modified technique for percutaneous nephrostomy in newborns and young infants.

Percutaneous nephrostomy (PN) in newborns and young infants presents unique challenges. Twenty-six consecutive PN procedures in 18 patients were retrospectively reviewed. Fifteen procedures were performed with the conventional micropuncture technique. The modified technique describe herein was used in 11 procedures. Depending on whether there is obstruction and whether the obstruction is at the ureteropelvic junction level or distal to it, the technique selected will vary.
