Prolonged dense nephrograms in battered children. Suspect rhabdomyolysis and myoglobinuria.

Prolonged, dense nephrograms were seen on intravenous urography in 5 cases of child abuse presenting with possible renal injury. Each child had oliguria, elevated muscle enzymes, and pigmented urine positive for blood, but without red cells on microscopic examination. These findings are suggestive of myoglobinuria. The abnormalities resolved with appropriate fluid and electrolyte management. This complication of child abuse, not previously emphasized, may be suggested by the urographic findings. Possible factors contributing to the dense nephrograms are presented.

Fibrous lesion of the bowel complicating the management of bilateral Wilms' tumor.

A 31 month old black male with known bilateral Wilms' tumor, who had right nephrectomy and left lower pole heminephrectomy developed a palpable mass in the left lower quadrant. Several studies could not clearly determine the nature of the mass lesion, a laparotomy was performed, a keloid-like lesion was found in the bowel wall.

Bronchial rupture in children following blunt chest trauma. Report of five cases with emphasis on radiologic findings.

We present five patients with fracture of the bronchus, in whom the diagnosis of bronchial rupture was first suggested because of persistent leakage of air, atelectasis of a segment of the lung or of the entire lung, mediastinal and deep cervical emphysema. In all patients the bronchoscopy was essential to confirm the diagnosis and to determine the full extent of injury.

Diagnosis of ectopic thyroid: value of pretracheal soft-tissue measurements.

Thyroid ectopia, dysgenesis, or agenesis has been conventionally diagnosed with the use of radioisotope scanning procedures. This report proposes the use of a conventional lateral radiograph of the neck to determine the presence or absence of the thyroid gland in its normal anatomic position. The thyroid gland is ensheathed by the pretracheal layer of the deep cervical fascia anterior to the trachea. The gland's presence or absence can be determined by calculating the ratio of the soft-tissue measurements between the anterior wall of the trachea and both the outer margin of the skin and the margin of the subcutaneous fat as determined from a lateral radiograph of the neck. This "pretracheal ratio" may be used to accurately differentiate between a lingual thyroid and other masses at the base of the tongue.

Multiple congenital anomalies associated with infantile achalasia.

Achalasia is rare in the pediatric age group, particularly in the neonate and young infant. The symptoms are often nonspecific and may not even suggest a primary esophageal disorder. This is a report of two cases of achalasia seen in neonates, both of whom has other unusual and exceedingly uncommon congenital abnormalities.

The barium-enema examination and rectal manometry in Hirschsprung disease.

Barium-enema studies and rectal manometry were clearly shown complementary in diagnosing Hirschsprung disease. Of 27 patients studied, 19 had positive barium-enema and rectal manometric studies and were proved histologically to have Hirschsprung disease. Three had positive barium-enemas but normal rectal manometric studies in the first 10 days of life; later manometric studies were positive, and all 3 were subsequently proved to have Hirschsprung disease. Three patients had negative barium-enema and positive manometric studies and were proved to have low segment Hirschsprung disease. If both studies indicate the disease, rectal biopsy is not necessary before surgery.

Ectopic vas deferens: a report of two cases and review of the literature.

Two new cases of ectopia of the urethral end of the vas are described, and six cases reported since 1949 are reviewed. Most cases had associated urinary tract abnormalities, often anomalies of renal position, and imperforate anus was the most frequent gastrointestinal anomaly. The most productive mode of radiologic evaluation was voiding cystourethrography. The two types of insertion and the associated urinary and gastrointestinal anomalies are analyzed on the basis of embryologic development.

Congenital neurogenous sarcoma with rhabdomyosarcomatous differentiation.

A congenital malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor contained small rhabdomyosarcomatous portions in both the retroperitoneal pelvic primary and in the subpleural lung metastasis. There was no family history of Von Recklinghausen's disease. Of the 10 patients with this tumor previously reported, the youngest is 14 yr old, and eight had familial neurofibromatosis.

Intramural duodenal hematoma in children. The role of the radiologist in its conservative management.

Excellent results can be obtained with conservative therapy of intramural duodenal hematomas, and thus the radiologist plays a crucial role in their management and followup. Six children in in whom intramural duodenal hematoma was diagnosed, based on clinical, laboratory, and radiographic findings, were managed conservatively. Treatment consisted of restricted oral intake, intravenous infusion of fluids and electrolytes, and nasogastric suction when indicated. The satisfactory response of these patients to nonoperative therapy was demonstrated on serial upper gastrointestinal studies and by regression of clinical signs and symptoms.

Ureteritis cystica after treatment of cyclophosphamide-induced hemorrhagic cystitis.

A case is presented in which ureteritis cystica developed following formalin instillation for treatment of cyclophosphamide-induced hemorrhagic cystitis. It is not known whether this complication, not previously reported, is a result of the cyclophosphamide, the formalin, or a combination of both. Patients being considered for formalin instillation should be studied by cystography for evaluation of vesicoureteral reflux. Alternative methods to formalin instillation should be considered in patients with reflux.
