A severe and possible lethal complication of herniography is reported. A 3-year-old child who was born with an undescended testicle on the right side and a normal descended testicle on the left underwent a herniography study. Twelve hours following the procedure, he developed lower abdominal pain which progressed over the next 72 hours. A diagnosis of mesenteric hematoma was entertained and he underwent abdominal surgery. At operation a large intramural hematoma was found in a segment of nonviable bowel. This segment was resected with an end-to-end anastomosis. The postoperative course was uneventful.

A 3-year-old boy was transferred to our hospital because of fever, abdominal pain and severe systemic bone pain on October 16, 1989. Hematological examination showed hemoglobin 8.7 g/dl, white blood cell count 5300/microliters with 9% neutrophils and platelet count 5.5 x 10(4)/microliters. Bone marrow aspiration and biopsy revealed markedly necrotic cells. Blood chemistry showed transient elevation of CRP, serum LDH, FDP, FDP-Ddimer and fibrinogen. Tc99m pyrophosphate bone scanning showed multiple uptake spots in various bone. Although the sign of fever, abdominal pain and bone pain disappeared spontaneously after three weeks, anemia persisted. About two months later from bone marrow necrosis, abnormal cells appeared in the bone marrow. A diagnosis of AML (M3) was made and a combination chemotherapy started. This case is remarkable for elevation of acute phase protein in association with bone marrow necrosis.

A 3-year-old Standardbred stallion was admitted for treatment of acute enterocolitis. The horse improved in response to empiric treatment, but subsequently developed ventral edema, scrotal abscessation, and severe laminitis. Improvement again was seen, but on day 29 of hospitalization, the horse developed rapid heart rate and signs of abdominal pain. Exploratory celiotomy revealed complete obstruction of the descending portion of the duodenum, 20 cm caudal to the duodenal sigmoidal flexure. Three-tier duodenojejunostomy and jejunojejunostomy were performed to bypass the duodenal obstruction.

A 3-year-old boy with rectal bleeding and colicky abdominal pain is described in whom heterotopic gastric mucosa in the rectum was found. Increased uptake of 99mTc-pertechnetate was demonstrated in two sites: rectum and left colon. However, gastric mucosa could be identified by endoscopic and histologic examination in the rectum only. The patient was asymptomatic after the operation and during follow-up, over 14 months.

A 3-year-old girl with an extrarenal nephroblastoma arising from the right retroperitoneal space is described. She was admitted to our hospital with the chief complaint of abdominal pain. On physical examination, she was found to have a large (12 X 10 cm in size), firm and nontender mass in the right upper quadrant of the abdomen. The mass did not extend beyond the midsagital line. The physical examination did not reveal any particular findings or any congenital anomalies. Urinalysis and hematological data were within the normal limit. Radiological examinations including CT scan showed that the solid tumor was related to the right kidney. Under the diagnosis of right nephroblastoma, 15 micrograms/kg/day of actinomycin D was given intravenously for 5 days from October 18, 1982. The regression rate of the tumor was 78 percent on CT scan after chemotherapy. On November 22, 1982, transperitoneal nephrectomy was performed through a right paramedian incision. The tumor was found to adhere tightly to the upper pole of the kidney. The surgical specimen was 76 g in weight. A section of the surgical specimen showed an extrarenal tumor located completely outside the kidney and separated from the renal cortex by a thickened renal capsule. Histological diagnosis was extrarenal nephroblastoma showing renal capsular invasion by epithelial tumor cells. No teratomatous components were encountered in the tumor.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

A 3 6/12-year-old previously healthy girl had intermittent attacks of abdominal pain following a blunt abdominal trauma. At admission to the hospital, she had jaundice and hepatomegaly. Results of laboratory tests indicated an obstructive pattern, and ultrasonography revealed an intraluminal mass in the distal common bile duct. At surgery, the mass was confirmed as the cause of obstruction, and it was removed. Microscopic analysis indicated that the amorphous material was fungi infested. Growth cultures from bile and feces yielded Candida albicans. Postoperative treatment with T-tube drainage and antimycotic drugs led to an uneventful recovery. Clinical, biochemical, and ultrasonographic follow-up have shown no evidence of recurrence. A possible cause and effect relationship between the trauma and the development of biliary obstruction is suggested.

A 3-year-old boy who suffered from severe colicky abdominal pain is presented. Laboratory studies, including ultrasound, upper gastrointestinal films, and 99mTc-scan, were interpreted as normal. On exploration of the abdomen a tubular duplication of the small bowel was found. The duplication had a common mesentery with the normal bowel. By meticulous dissection the duplication was resected without interfering with the blood supply of the normal bowel. The entire duplication was found to be covered by gastric mucosa.

The author recently examined four children of clinical macrocephaly. Their occipitofrontal head circumference was exceeded 2 standard deviations above the mean for chronological age. Megalencephaly with normal ventricular system was proved by computerized tomography or pneumoencephalography. The purpose of this paper is to report four cases with various clinical aspects and to discuss the similarity of these patients. Additionally, previously reported syndromes with macrocephaly and multiple hemangiomas were presented in Table 4. Case 1 A 6 year-old was accidentally admitted because of infectious disease. His development was uneventful. Case 2. A 2 year-old boy was admitted because of delayed speech and delayed walking. He had no neonatal complications and no history of convulsions. Case 3. A 4 year-old boy was accidentally admitted because of abdominal pain. His physical examination exhibited diffuse hemangiomatous lesions on the right side of face, neck and chest, and congenital glaucoma. He was diagnosed as Sturge-Weber anomalad at the age of 2 years. Case 4. A 3 year-old girl was admitted because of distended abdomen. She had widely spread strawberry hemangioma on her right abdominal wall and blue and brownish phacomatosis on her back. GI tract examination showed lymphoid hyperplasia of the colon. Clinical profiles are presented in Table 3. These patients were different from Sotos syndrome (cerebral gigantism), but had the following similar findings besides megalencephaly-1) large birth weight (mean; 3961 g), 2) hypotonic and wasting muscles, 3) clumsy in walking and running, 4) no hereditary tendency. The Cases 1, 3 and 4 had normal mental development. The Case 4 was seemed as a previously undescribed clinical syndrome in which the principal features were megalencephaly, distended abdomen, hypotonic and wasting muscles, lymphoid hyperplasia of the colon, retroperitoneal cavernous hemangioma, and cutaneous hemangioma and neuroma. The relationship between cutaneous involvement and megalencephaly was unknown.

A 3-year-old child presented with vague abdominal pain, fever, leucocytosis and elevation of alkaline phosphatase. Ultrasonography revealed a space occupying process within the extrahepatic bile ducts surrounded by fluid. Various densities (between 15-25 Hounsfield units) were measured in this intrabiliary tumor by computed tomography.

Pleuropulmonary blastoma is a rare childhood malignancy that may simulate an empyema both clinically and radiographically. A 3-year-old boy with fever, cough, and abdominal pain developed complete opacification of the left hemithorax with contralateral mediastinal shift over the course of several weeks. At thoracotomy, a pleuropulmonary blastoma was discovered. The radiology, pathology, and clinical course of this rare neoplasm are discussed.
