Pediatric Radiology Essence

After 4 years of sharing cases on Pediatric Radiology Essence, I’ve decided to stop posting. Grateful to each of the 600+ followers who supported, learned, and engaged along the way 🙏.

- If the lesion represents an incidental finding on imaging, treatment is not required. In symptomatic cases, surgical resection may be performed. #PedsRad

- The lesion points away from the knee joint and is in close vicinity with the pes anserine and medial collateral ligament, although these structures do not insert on it - Unlike an osteochondroma, there is no associated cartilage cap on imaging and histopathological examination

ATS: Rare AR connective tissue disorder caused by SLC2A10 mutation. Features: • Generalized arterial tortuosity • Aneurysms & stenoses • Scoliosis, joint laxity • Facial dysmorphism, hernias 💡Think ATS when tortuosity extends beyond cervicals Dx: Imaging + genetic test

Brain MRA & CT CAP: Marked arterial tortuosity involving the intracranial and extracranial vessels, with extension to thoracic and abdominal arterial branches including the mesenteric vasculature. Associated scoliosis is noted.Presence of multiple mesenteric arterial aneurysms.

Which of the following genes is most likely mutated in this patient?

- Advanced stage (III/IV) and incomplete resections (R1/R2) correlated with higher recurrence and mortality. - Both stage and completeness of resection emerged as key independent predictors of disease-free and overall survival .

- Type B1 is the most frequently reported subtype in children, accounting for about 45% of classified pediatric thymomas. - Complete surgical resection (R0) is the primary treatment, especially in Stage I.

A 1-year and 8-month-old girl was referred from another hospital with respiratory distress and a large thoracic mass. #PedsRad
