HomeStretch CRACK vol 1. PEDS Flashcards
Trigonocephaly
Metopic synostosis
“quizzical eye appearance”
Brachycephaly
Coronal synostosis
“Harlequin eye” if unilateral
Turricephaly
(bilateral) lambdoid synostosis
Sagittal synostosis
Scaphocephaly
Dolecocephaly
“scaphodolecocephaly”
(associated with Marfans [both are tall and Skinny).
When I say “bone defect in the region of the lambdoid suture” or “asterion defect” you say?
NF1
Kleeblattschädel
clover leaf skull
premature synostosis of coronal and lambdoid sutures +/- sagittal suture
assocaciated with: thanatophoric dysplasia, Apert and crouzon’s
Apert Syndrome
Craniosynostosis (brachycephaly) + Fused fingers aka syndactyly (making an “A”) - typically symmetric fused hands and feet.
Crouzon’s
Craniosynostosis (brachycephaly)
1st arch structures (maxillary and mandibular hypoplasia)
Hydrocephalus
Chiari 1 malformations
associated with patent ductus and aortic coarctation
short central long bones (rhizomelia)
Crouzon’s Cs = Coronal suture craniosynostosis, Can’t Chew (first arch structures), Chiari I, Coarctation, hydroCephalus, Central bones short (rhizomelia), Crazy eyes (exophthalmos).
Lückenschädel Skull
Aka Lacunar skull
due to defective bone matrix
classically associated with Chiari II and neural tube defects
Wormian Bone Mnemonic
“Wormian PORK CHOPS”
Pyknodysostosis (sclerosing bone dysplasia; osteopetrosis with wormian bones; lysosomal storage disorder)
Osteogenesis Imperfecta (Collagen type I disorder)
Rickets (vitamin D deficiency [metephyseal fraying, splaying and cupping])
Kinky hair syndrome = Menke’s = X-linked recessive disorder AKA Fucked up Copper Metabolism -> fine, silvery brittle hair)
Cleidocranial dysostosis
Hypothyroidism/Hypophosphatasia
One too many 21 chromosomes (downs)
Primary Acro-osteolysis = Hajdu-cheney syndrome = connective tissue disorder
Acro-Osteolysis Mnemonic
the resorbed distal phalanx is “FO PINCHing”
F: familial, e.g. Hajdu-Cheney syndrome
O: other, e.g. polyvinyl chloride exposure, progeria
P: psoriasis/pyknodysostosis
I: injury, e.g. thermal burn, frost bite
N: neuropathy, e.g. diabetes mellitus, leprosy
C: collagen vascular disease, e.g. scleroderma, Raynaud disease
H: hyperparathyroidism
Pediatric scalp trauma - what are the three blood collections, superficial to deep, and which crosses sutures?
- Caput Succedaneum = Crosses sutures - resolves on its own
- Subgaleal hemorrhage = crosses sutures, potentially life-threatening and seen after vacuum extractions
- Cephalhematoma = limited by suture lines
scalp laceration + depressed fracture = ?
? + dural tear = ??
Compound fracture
compound fracture + dural tear = penetrating fx
What is a leptomeningeal cyst?
“Growing Skull Fracture”
fractured noggin + dural tail with leptomeninges herniating through torn dura and over time progressively widens
What is sinus pericranii
Dural venous sinus in the pericranium
CHARGE Syndrome
Coloboma
Heart Defects
Atresia (Choanal)
Retard
Genitourinary Abnormalities
Ear Anomalies
Treacher Collins syndrome
Mandibulo-facial dysostosis
problems with first and second branchela arches.
concave curve of the horizontal ramus
PHACES syndrome
P: posterior fossa malformations (e.g. Dandy-Walker malformation)
H: hemangiomas
A: arterial anomalies
C: coarctation of the aorta and cardiac anomalies
E: eye (ocular) anomalies
S: subglottic hemangiomas / sternal cleft / supraumbilical raphe
Neonatal CXR
High volumes + Perihilar Streaky
MNoPpT
Meconium aspiration (+pneumothorax)
Non-GB neonatal pneumonia (with pleuarl effusions)
TTN
Neonatal CXR
low volumes (or normal) + Granular
Surfactant deficiency disease
GBS neonatal pneumonia
Potter Sequence
Babies who can’t Pee in utero develop POTTER seuqence
Pulmonary hypoplasia
Oligohydramnios
Twisted face
Twisted skin
Extremity defects
Renal failure
Pleuropulmonary blastoma
Normal 2nd trimester US + infant with lung tumor = Primary lung tumor (rather than a congenital malformation)
Big Fucking Mass in the chest of a 1-2 yo.
Shouldn’t have eat up rib (Askin tumors often do)
Multilocular cystic nephroma 10% of the time.
Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumor (IMT)
Most common primary lung tumor in children. It is benign (unlike pleuropulmnonary blastoma). These are solid masses, lobulated and calcified, and T2 bright because of their myxoid appearance.
What is neonatal atypical peripheral atelectasis?
Uncle to round pneumonia in children - essentially the same thing but peripheral.
