SBAs for final FRCR 2A Unit 5 Flashcards
Premature baby, US brain shows loculated cystic lesions in frontal lobes
Periventricular leucomalacia
Commonest prenatal cause of death in ARPKE
Severe renal compromise
Pre and post op imaging in congenital heart
Pre is focussed on morphology for surgical planning
Post is more focussed on function
Most important clinical feature of post op ToF imaging
Pulmonary valve function
Dandy walker variant vs malformation
Malformation:
- Enlargement of posterior fossa
- Associated CNS anomalies are more common
Osteosarcoma seen on XR, next step
MRI to evaluate local extent
CT chest and bone scan for pulmonary and bone mets
Central line ideal position
Above the carina, so that it isn’t in the right atrium itself
Neuroblastoma, Ix for bone mets
MIBG
Pseudosubluxation of C2/3 and C3/4
Can be normal in kids
Normal atlanto-dens interval
3mm in adults, 5mm in kids
BPD vs PIE
Both cause bubbly lucencies on CXR.
BPD tends to develop more gradually and occur later
Gyriform low T2 signal in cerebral cortex
Cortical calcification
Cortical calcification, unilateral atrophy and leptomeningeal enhancement
Sturge Weber Syndrome
Intralobar vs Extralobar sequestration
Extralobar more common in males and more common in left.
More commonly associated with other congenital abnormalities
SUFE vs Perthes
SUFE demonstrates initial widening of joint space and loss of overlap between medial femoral metaphysis and acetabulum (metaphyseal extrusion)
