Nodules (subcut)
Erythema marginatum
Sydenham chorea
Aschoff nodules histologically
Corpus callosum agenesis
Not associated with Downs or Chiari 1
Associated with interhemispheric lipoma, grey matter heterotopia, cephalocele, non-Downs trisomy, Dandy walker, absence of anterior commisure, septo-optic dysplasia, agyria/pachygyria, Chiari 2, midline arachnoid cyst, hydrocephalus
Genu forms first, so is present in partial. Exception is holoprosencephaly
Elongated formen of monro in dysgenesis
Tricuspid atresia
Cyanotic
Obligate ASD or PFO
Variable lung vasculature - depends on presence of TGA or VSD which are associated i.e. can be oligaemic or plethoric
Also associated with asplenia and right sided arch
Neonatal adrenal haemorrhage
Bilateral 10%
R>L 7:3
More common with breech, difficult delivery, hypoxia, fetal distress
1st week of life
Increased risk in diabetic mums, and large babies
Hepatoblastoma
AFP
Prediliction for right lobe
3rd most common child abdominal mass
43% of liver masses in children and most common primary liver tumour
Slightly more common in males
Heterogeneous, may have haemorrhage, necrosis (cystic), calc.
Predominantly echogenic
Beta angle
DDH
Opposite the Alpha angle - ilium to labrum rather than ilium to acetabulum
<77 degrees normal
Cervical spine radiographs
SCIWORA 5-65%, may be delayed up to 48 hours
Lateral displacement of C1 on C2 lateral masses up to 6mm normal in 4 year old (sum of both sides) (and may be seen up to 7 years old)
Dense metaphyseal bands
Rickets Leukaemia Lead Infection (Torch), infantile growth arrest Early hypothyroidism (cretinism) Scurvy, syphilis
DENSE LINES
Vit D, elemental (heavy metals and arsenic), normal, systemic, estrogen, Leukaemia, infection and idiopathic hypercalc, never forget healed rickets, early hypothyroidism (cretinism), scurvy, syphilis, sickel cell
Toddler fracture
Tibial, calcaneal, cuboid, fibula, diaphyseal (talus, metatarsals)
Not navicular
Pathological fracture causes (paeds)
UBC (40%) Non ossifying fibroma (19%) Fibrous dysplasia (16%) Osteosarcoma (15) ABC (10%)
NEC
Not associated with maternal diabetes
Associated with Hirschsprungs, bowel obstruction
Can cause strictures, 9-30%, regardless of severity, multiple common, and most occur in the colon
Supravalvular aortic stenosis
Associated with infantile hypercalcaemia, Marfans
Polyhydramnios
Duodenal atresia, but not rectal atresia
PUJ obst
Bilateral in 10-40%
Accounts for 2/3 of hydronephrosis in utero
And is the most common cause of neonatal hydropnephrosis
Contralateral other renal anomalies may be seen - MCDK, renal agenesis
Primary megaureter
Congenital idiopathic alteration at VUJ
SUFE
Posteromedial displacement of head
Acute cartilage necrosis in 7-10%
Line of klein doesn’t intersect femoral head (line along superior fermoral neck)
AVN epiphysis in 15%
Bilateral in 20-40%
Subsequent degenerative change related to degree of lsip
Celery stalk metaphysis
Metaphyseal longitudinal linear bands of sclerosis
Rubella, syphilis, CMV, osteopathia striata
Sequestration
Intra >extra (2:1)
Extra almost always LLL (10% infradiaphragmatic). LLL most common site for intra also (60%, followed by RLL)
Intralobar presents later
Posterior basal segment most common
Extra presents neonatal with respiratory distress, cyanosis, or infection
Intra presents in late childhood or adolescence with recurrent infections
CAN have airbronchogram, as intralobar may have abnormal connection to bronchial tree and both can connect to GI tract. Usually absent though
Rectosigmoid ratio
Normally >1 (i.e. rectum bigger)
Reversed in Hirschsprungs
Heart disease approach
Acyanotic - heart failure (including hypoplastic left heart, coarctation), or shunt vascularity
Cyanotic, decreased pulmonary flow - TOF, Ebstein (Ebstein usually has secundum ASD - may not be cyanotic if not a lot of shunting)
Cyanotic, increased pulmonary flow - transposition (obligatory shunt), truncus, tricuspid atresia (obligatory shunt/ASD for cyanosis, VSD may give increased pulmonary flow), TAPVR (obligatory shunt), tingle ventricle
Ebstein
Depending on degree of shunting, may or may not be cyanotic
Common (nearly always) to have an ASD or PDA
Apically displaced septal and posterior leaflets
Kawasaki disease
Small to medium vessel vasculitis in young children Preference for coronary vessels - myocarditis and coronary artery aneurysms Fever that doesn't respond to abs. Mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome Lymphadenitis, conjunctivitis, uveitis Strawberry tongue, perianal erythema Desquamation of palms and soles Hydrops of the gallbladder
