Lateral wall cecal filling defects following successful hydrostatic reduction of cecalcolic intussusceptions.

Two children less than 1 yr of age were found to have a lateral wall filling defect following successful hydrostatic reduction of cecalcolic intussusceptions. Both filling defects were thought to be due to invagination of the lateral wall between the tinea coli. One child was explored due to recurrence of the intussusception despite despite a decrease in size of the filling defect. In the second child the filling defect had disappeared three days after the initial barium enema reduction. When confronted with a typical cecal filling defect in an infant following successful reduction of a cecalcolic intussusception, we believe that one is justified in assuming a cautious "wait and see" attitude. If the child recovers clinically the barium enema may be repeated in three days to access reduction in size or disappearance of the filling defect.

Pulmonary edema following skin absorption of organophosphate insecticide.

We report a case of acute pulmonary edema following exposure to organophosphate insectocide. Hypoxia, respiratory failure, and parasympathetic discharge are implicated in the pathogenesis and are related to the anticholinesterase activity of the toxicant. Rapid onset of acute pulmonary edema without cardiomegaly followed by prompt clearing are the radiographic features.

An etiologic shift in infantile osteomyelitis: the emergence of the group B streptococcus.

Twenty-one infants from six to 52 days of age (mean 23.3 days) with osteomyelitis were studied between 1965 and 1977. The etiologic agents were group B streptococcus (8), staphylococcus aureus (6), gramnegative bacilli (4), Streptococcus pneumoniae (1), and unknown (2). Patients with group B streptococcal osteomyelitis were characterized by an uncomplicated neonatal course, single bone involvement with a predilection for involvement of the proximal humerus, and lack of inflammatory signs. In contrast, patients with osteomyelitis due to other organisms frequently had had manipulative procedures predisposing to infection and were more likely to have multiple bone involvement, fever, and leukocytosis at the time of diagnosis. Functional impairment was detected in only one of 17 patients evaluated a mean of 36 months after diagnosis.

Prenatal diagnosis of recurrence of Saldino-Noonan dwarfism.

The occurrence in a family of three spontaneous abortions and two siblings with Saldino-Noonan dwarfism supports an autosomal recessive etiology and raises the possibility of lethality early in utero. No long bones were visualized in radiographs at 19 weeks' gestation in the second affected pregnancy. highlighting the difficulties of distinguishing technical limitations from fetal anatomic abnormalities. Ultrasound studies demonstrated oligohydramnios. Radiologic prenatal diagnosis can rule out this condition prior to 20 to 24 weeks' gestation and affected fetuses can be suspected if not proved by radiographs and ultrasound examination.
