Q

Risk factors for chronic sinusitis?

A

Allergies, immune deficiency, primary ciliary dyskinesis, CF

25
Test of choice with worsening epistaxis?
CT (rule out posterior NP mass, like nasopharyngeal angiofibroma)
26
Can GAS be positive with EBV mono?
YES--asymptomatic carriers!! (Does not necessarily differentiate EBV and GAS pharyngitis--look for HSM with EBV)
27
Difference between CMV and EBV mono?
Kids with CMV are older; however, preschool kids with EBV are usually asymptomatic
28
At what age is monospot most INsensitive?
Less than 4yo--do viral titers (can also be negative and become positive weeks into disease)
29
Presentation of GC pharyngitis?
Sexually active teen, usually with hx of STD's, pharyngitis with erythematous patches; test for GC pharyngitis and for other STD's
30
What is trismus?
Inability to open the mouth
31
Presentation of peritonsillary abscess?
Dysphagia, trismus, drooling, cervical adenopathy, unilateral peritonsillary swelling, deviation of uvula; dx with CT
32
Treatment of PTA?
Needle aspiration, abx--Unasyn/Augmentin, clinda
33
Presentation of RPA?
Hyperextended or stiff neck, drooling, respiratory difficulties, adenopathy, fever, dysphagia
34
Diagnosis of RPA?
CT (widening of retraphyngeal space)
35
Treatment of RPA?
Needle aspiration, abx--Unaysn/Augmentin, clinda
36
Compare/contrast RPA and epiglottitis.
Both have drooling and may have respiratory difficulties; epiglottitis lean forward, while RPA hyperextendes neck
37
Age difference between PTA and RPA?
RPA more common in kids <4yo
38
Presentation of cold-induced panniculitis?
Tender red nodules on cheek, afebrile, good PO, sleeping with something very cold like teething pacifier
39
Causes of delayed tooth eruption (4H + Rickets)?
``` Hypothyroidism Hypopituitarism Hypoplasia (ectodermal) Hypohidrosis Rickets ```
39
Treatment of dental abscess?
Penicillin (clinda or azithro if allergic)
40
Mnemonic for causes of inspiratory stridor (INSP)?
Immobile cords (paralyzed--bilateral) Noid (adenoid and tonsillary enlargement) Soft cartilage (laryngomalacia) Pharyngeal and hypopharyngeal masses
41
Most common cause of congenital stridor?
Laryngomalacia
42
Cause of vocal cord paralysis?
Traumatic injury to recurrent laryngeal nerve at birth or to CNS injury/impairment
43
Do kids with laryngomalacia have feeding problems or FTT?
NO!!
44
What finding does tracheomalacia cause?
Expiratory stridor or wheezing (trachea is intrathroracic, so increased pressure during expiration causes collapse); stridor may be biphasic if lesion is high enough
45
Hint for vascular ring causing expiratory stridor?
Feeding problems
46
Presentation of epiglottitis?
4 or 5yo, inspiratory (or biphasic) stridor, drooling, dysphagia, dysphonia, distress, leaning forwards, no vaccines; NO cough
47
Epiglottitis finding on lateral neck XR?
Thumb sign (edematous epiglottis)
48
Treatment of epiglottitis?
Airway emergency--prep for intubation if necessary; ceftriaxone (HiB)
49
Serious complication of croup?
Bacterial tracheitis super-infection
50
Presentation of spasmodic croup?
Usually allergic, nightly symptoms, hx of atopic issues, no preceding URI symptoms
51
Treatment of spasmodic croup?
Same as viral croup
52
Cause of laryngeal papillomas?
HPV--cause hoarseness, treat with laser, consider child abuse
53
Presentation of thyroglossal cyst?
Midline anterior neck lesion, moves vertically with swallowing or sticking out tongue, may be communicating with skin
54
Treatment of thyroglossal cyst?
NO surgery--may be only functioning thyroid tissue
