Q

RF for nocturnal enuresis are

A

Constipation*
FHx
Sleep apnea
Psychological (MC in secondary)

21
Q

How do you diagnose nocturnal enuresis

A

H&P to r/o underlying cause

UA (specific gravity and cultures) esp in girls

22
Q

How do you treat nocturnal enuresis

A
Pt Ed (don't be judgmental as parent) 
limit liquids before sleep 
wake child at night 
bedwetting alarm* for 3 months minimum 
Last: Desmopressin acetate (short term),  Imipramine (high risk ADE)
23
Q

What is daytime urinary incontinence

A

wetting accident once q2 weeks, prevalence decreases with age
RF: female, Hx of nocturnal enuresis, UTI, Encoparesis

24
Q

Daytime urinary incontinence is associated with

A

Overactive bladder
Voiding postponement and under-active bladder
Dysfunctional voiding

25
Q

How do you Dx daytime urinary incontinence

A
voiding diary 
VCUG
US
MRI spine 
Abd XR 
Refer to urology, nephrology, and neurosurg
26
Q

How do you treat daytime urinary incontinence

A

Direct at underlying pathology
Behavioral therapy
Anticholinergics (Oxybutynin)
(TCA do NOT work!!!)

27
Q

What is Exstrophy of the bladder

A

an open, inside out bladder with exposed urethra and low set umbilicus, and anteriorly displaced anus
MC in white and first born
Risk of hip dysplasia and genital defects (more severe in boys)

28
Q

How do you diagnose Exstrophy of bladder

A

prenatal US, confirm with MRI

Or diagnosed at birth if missed prenatally

29
Q

How do you treat Exstrophy of bladder

A

Induced vaginal delivery or planned C section

Surgical repair after stabilization

30
Q

What is hypospadias

A

Ventral placement of urethral opening (cause is unknown)
Urethral folds fail to completely close
Associated with chordee (curved), cryptorchidism, and inguinal hernia

31
Q

With hypospadias, do NOT

A

Circumcise! we need the foreskin for repair

32
Q

How is hypospadias diagnosed

A

Newborn physical: abnormal foreskin, curvature, and presence of “2” urethral openings

33
Q

How do you Tx hypospadias

A

Isolated: repair before 18 months old
w/ crypto: need more work up (pelvic US, karyotype, serum lytes for low Na high K) 2/2 increased risk for d/o of sex development

34
Q

What is cryptorchidism

A

a hidden or undescended testicle

at risk for infertility and testicular malignancy

35
Q

How do you diagnose cryptorchidism

A

clinically on newborn exam
2-6 mo: measure LH, FSH, inhibin B, and testosterone
HCG stimulation test

36
Q

How do you treat cryptorchidism

A

surgery if not descended by 6-12 months
If palpable, orchipexy
Not palpable, exploratory surgery

37
Q

What is testicular torsion

A

twisting of testes on spermatic cord, testis inadequately fixed to tunica vaginalis (bell clapper deformity*)
Causes venous compression, edema and ischemia of testicle

38
Q

When is testicular torsion MC

A

Bimodal:

Neonatal (less common) and Puberty (MC 12-18)

39
Q

Sx of testicular torsion are

A

Abrupt onset severe testicular or scrotal pain
N/V
Swollen scrotum
Tender, swollen, elevated testes
Doppler shows Decreased perfusion
No cremasteric reflex
NO phren sign (pain relief with elevation of testis)

40
Q

How do you Tx torsion

A

Detorsion and fixation (orchiopexy) of both testis if viable
Non-viable: orchiectomy
Manual detorsion can be done before scrotal swelling under appropriate analgesia (open the book)

41
Q

How do you know if a testicle is viable when torsed

A

4-6 hours: 100% viable
>12 hours: 20% viable
>24 hours: 0% viable

42
Q

What is a hydrocele

A

peritoneal fluid collects between parietal and visceral layers of tunica vaginalis
Common in newborns but may be concerning in older kids
Should resolve by 1st bday
Looks like a cystic scrotal mass

43
Q

Difference between communicating and non-communicating hydrocele

A

Comm: results from failure of processus vaginalis to close during development, so fluid from peritoneum leaks in
Non: fluid comes from mesothelial lining of tunica vaginalis, NOT connected to peritoneum. Work up epididymitis, orchitis, torsion, trauma

44
Q

How do you diagnose a hydrocele

A

Transilluminate scrotum
Doppler US
Comm: increases during the day or w/ valsalva, crying, screaming
Non-comm: never change in size

45
Q

How do you treat a hydrocele

A

Surgical repair if:
persist beyond 1 y/o
communicating (but elective)
idiopathic, Sx hydroceles that compromise skin integrity

46
Q

What is a varicocele

A

dilated, tortuous veins around spermatic cord

MC on LEFT (bc R sperm vain drins directly into IVC while left sperm vein goes to left renal vein then IVC)

47
Q

Sx of a varicocele are

A

ASx
dull ache to scrotum on standing
Palpable bag of worms

48
Q

How do you Tx a varicocele

A
Persistent in supine or R sided: r/o IVC obstruction w/ Doppler (thrombus, abd mass, etc.) 
Manage conservatively (obs) 
Surgical ligation/testicular vein embolization to alleviate pain, heaviness, and swelling, or if bilateral
