Contrast-enhanced ultrasound of the neonatal brain.

  • Gumus M, Oommen KC, Squires JH.
  • Pediatr Radiol.
  • Cranial US is an integral component of evaluating the neonatal brain. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) involves intravenously injecting microbubbles to allow for improved visibility of large and small vessels to assess vascularity and is becoming a widespread technique to improve diagnostic performance of US across a broad spectrum of applications. CEUS has the potential to add value to routine brain US and become a useful adjunct to MRI in infants in need of bedside imaging. We discuss the basics of US contrast agents and CEUS technique, including safety considerations, and detail the potential clinical uses of brain CEUS.

Contrast-enhanced ultrasound of the spleen, pancreas and gallbladder in children

  • Franke D, Anupindi SA, Barnewolt CE, Green TG, Greer MC, Harkanyi Z, Lorenz N, McCarville MB, Mentzel HJ, Ntoulia A, Squires JH.
  • Pediatr Radiol.
  • An overview of the applications of CEUS for normal variants and diseases affecting the spleen, gallbladder and pancreas. We highlight a variety of cases as examples of how CEUS can serve in the diagnosis and follow-up for such diseases in children. Our discussion includes specific examination techniques; presentation of the main imaging findings in various benign and malignant lesions of the spleen, gallbladder and pancreas in children; and acknowledgment of the limitations of CEUS for these organs.

Systemic and Nodular Hyperinflammation in a Patient with Refractory Familial Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis 2

  • Segal JE, Daley JD, Barnum JL, Salgado CM, Reyes-Mugica M, Schneider C, Gumus S, Thakrar D, Allen SW, Canna SW
  • J Clin Immunol.
  • “Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a life-threatening hyperinflammatory syndrome first described in 1939 in children found to have fever, systemic inflammation, coagulopathy, and histologic hemophagocytosis, and later with dramatic hyperferritinemia. A previously healthy 3-month-old female presented with fever, irritability, abdominal distention, and tachypnea. This tragic case of an infant with profound perforin deficiency and FHL2 illustrates a few points relevant to care of severe HLH. This report focuses on several unique but instructive features of an infant with ultimately fatal perforin deficiency and FHL-2.”

  • Radiographs are generally the initial and most frequently performed imaging test on a symptomatic child.  Bone lesions detected on imaging can pose a challenge for radiologists and clinicians. A knowledgeable, systematic approach for radiologic assessment, complemented by advanced imaging modalities when necessary, can aid in diagnosis and management, and avoid unnecessary workup in a child.”

Systemic and Nodular Hyperinflammation in a Patient with Refractory Familial Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis             

  • J Clin Immunol
  • Familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a life-threatening hyperinflammatory syndrome resulting from defective cytotoxicity. A previously healthy 3-month-old female presented with fever, irritability, abdominal distention, and tachypnea. She ultimately met all eight HLH-2004 diagnostic criteria, accompanied by elevated CXCL9. Initial empiric anti-inflammatory treatment included anakinra and IVIg, which stabilized ferritin and cytopenias. She had molecular and genetic confirmation of perforin deficiency and was started on dexamethasone and etoposide per HLH-94. She clinically improved, though CXCL9 and sIL-2Ra remained elevated. She was readmitted at week 8 for relapsed HLH without clear trigger and HLH-94 induction therapy was reinitiated. Her systemic HLH symptoms failed to respond and she soon developed symptomatic CNS HLH. She was incidentally found to have multifocal lung and kidney nodules, which were sterile and consisted largely of histiocytes and activated, oligoclonal CD8 T cells. The patient had a laboratory response to salvage therapy with alemtuzumab and emapalumab, but progressive neurologic decline led to withdrawal of care. This report highlights HLH foci manifest as pulmonary/renal nodules, demonstrates the utility of monitoring an array of HLH biomarkers, and suggests possible benefit of earlier salvage therapy.

  • Radiology Anesthesiology
  • The current American Society of Anesthesiologists fasting guideline for formula-fed infants in the periprocedural setting is 6 h. Prolonged fasting in very young infants is associated with an increased risk for hypoglycemia and dehydration as well as patient discomfort and patient/parental dissatisfaction.  After institutional review board approval and written informed parental consent, ultrasound examination was performed in healthy full-term neonates before and after formula feeding at 15-min intervals until return to baseline.  The results demonstrate that gastric emptying times are substantially less than the current fasting guideline of 6 h for formula-fed, healthy term neonates.
