Hirschprung Hastalığı enterik sinir sisteminin gelişimsel bir bozukluğu olup distal kolondaki myenterik ve submukozal pleksuslarda ganglion hücrelerinin yokluğu ile karakterizedir. Bu durum etkilenen barsak kısmında peristaltizmin yokluğuna ve fonksiyonel intestinal tıkanıklığa yol açar. Yaklaşık 5000 canlı doğumda bir görülmekte ve genellikle mekonyum çıkışında gecikme, karın distansiyonu, beslenme intoleransı ve safralı kusma ile karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Burada yenidoğan döneminde Hirschprung Hastalığı tanısı konulmuş erkek bebeğin kliniği ve radyolojik tetkikleriyle değerlendirilmesi sunulmuştur.Hirschsprung disease is a developmental disorder of the enteric nervous system and is characterized by the absence of ganglion cells in the myenteric and submucosal plexuses of the distal intestine. This condition results in absence of peristalsis in the affected bowel and the development of a functional intestinal obstruction. It occurs in approximately 1 in 5000 live born infants and usually presented with delay in the meconium passage, distended abdomen, feeding intolerance and bilious vomiting. Here in, clinical and radiological evaluation of a male infant who diagnosed with Hirschsprung's disease in the neonatal period was presented.
The authors present a case of delayed radiation myelopathy in a 12-year-old girl with Hodgkin lymphoma and Artemis mutation. This is the first of such a case presented in the literature.
Background: To evaluate the correlation of physical examination, and radiological and pathological findings of children and adolescents with breast-related complaints. Methods: Children and adolescents with breast complaints between January 2016 and December 2019 were analyzed retrospectively. Results: A total of 118 children and adolescent patients were included. Their ages ranged from 12 to 18 years (median, 16 years). Twenty-one patients had a family history of breast cancer (17.8%). The most common complaints were pain, mass, and nipple discharge. Physical examination revealed mass (41.5%), tenderness (11%), and fullness (8.5%). Thirty-nine patients were classified ultrasonographically with Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BIRADS) 3 (39.4%) and four patients were BIRADS 4 (4%). Excision was applied to all patients with BIRADS 4, and 13 of 39 patients with BIRADS 3. Pathological diagnoses of the patients with BIRADS 3 were fibroadenoma (n: 12, 92.3%) and benign phyllodes tumor (n: 1, 7.7%). In patients with BIRADS 4, three patients had fiboradenomas and one patient had a benign phyllodes tumor. No recurrence was observed in any patients who had an excision. Only six of the patients with positive family history had BIRADS 3 lesions, and the others were BIRADS 1. Excision was recommended in two patients and the pathological diagnoses were fibroadenoma. Conclusion: In this age group, the most common complaints were pain and mass, while physical examination was normal in nearly half of the patients. All of the pathological diagnoses were benign. While evaluating the patients in this age range, the experience of the clinician and radiologist is important and we think that it is necessary to increase the awareness of the patient and family about physiological breast development and self-breast examination.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
