TL;DR: It is concluded that endoscopic septostomy is a reasonable treatment option for ILVH, avoiding additional shunts, and outcome is negatively affected by multiple prior shunt procedures.
Abstract: A surgical series detailing the results and complications of neuroendoscopy for the treatment of isolated lateral ventricular hydrocephalus (ILVH) has yet to be presented This retrospective case revi

TL;DR: This review details the indications for heart transplantation in children and represents a consensus of more than a dozen centers that have programs that remain active performing pediatric heart transplants.
Abstract: This review details the indications for heart transplantation in children. Contraindications have evolved from absolute to relative. Controversial issues remain and this paper represents a consensus of more than a dozen centers that have programs that remain active performing pediatric heart transplants.

TL;DR: The authors of the SSRD clinical pathway outline 5 key steps from admission to discharge and include practical, evidence-informed approaches to the assessment and management of children and adolescents who are medically hospitalized with SSRDs.
Abstract: Somatic symptom and related disorders (SSRDs) are commonly encountered in pediatric hospital settings. There is, however, a lack of standardization of care across institutions for youth with these disorders. These patients are diagnostically and psychosocially complex, posing significant challenges for medical and behavioral health care providers. SSRDs are associated with significant health care use, cost to families and hospitals, and risk for iatrogenic interventions and missed diagnoses. With sponsorship from the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and input from multidisciplinary stakeholders, we describe the first attempt to develop a clinical pathway and standardize the care of patients with SSRDs in pediatric hospital settings by a working group of pediatric consultation-liaison psychiatrists from multiple institutions across North America. The authors of the SSRD clinical pathway outline 5 key steps from admission to discharge and include practical, evidence-informed approaches to the assessment and management of children and adolescents who are medically hospitalized with SSRDs.

TL;DR: The echocardiographic methodology, training, and quality review process resulted in a robust evaluation of aortic root dimensions, with excellent reproducibility, in 608 subjects with Marfan syndrome randomized to receive atenolol or losartan for 3 years.
Abstract: Background The Pediatric Heart Network is conducting a large international randomized trial to compare aortic root growth and other cardiovascular outcomes in 608 subjects with Marfan syndrome randomized to receive atenolol or losartan for 3 years. The authors report here the echocardiographic methods and baseline echocardiographic characteristics of the randomized subjects, describe the interobserver agreement of aortic measurements, and identify factors influencing agreement. Methods Individuals aged 6 months to 25 years who met the original Ghent criteria and had body surface area-adjusted maximum aortic root diameter (ROOTmax) Z scores > 3 were eligible for inclusion. The primary outcome measure for the trial is the change over time in ROOTmaxZ score. A detailed echocardiographic protocol was established and implemented across 22 centers, with an extensive training and quality review process. Results Interobserver agreement for the aortic measurements was excellent, with intraclass correlation coefficients ranging from 0.921 to 0.989. Lower interobserver percentage error in ROOTmax measurements was independently associated (model R(2) = 0.15) with better image quality (P = .002) and later study reading date (P Conclusions The echocardiographic methodology, training, and quality review process resulted in a robust evaluation of aortic root dimensions, with excellent reproducibility.

TL;DR: The case of a 10-year-old girl with a history of chronic epigastric complaints who was ultimately presented with acute small bowel obstruction following fragmentation and distal migration of her gastric trichobezoar is presented.
Abstract: Abdominal pain is a common presenting complaint of children seen in urgent care settings. It is the manifestation of a wide variety of disease processes ranging from benign to immediately life-threatening. Gastric bezoars are among the etiologies of chronic childhood abdominal pain that, when undiagnosed, may result acutely in serious complications, including gastric ulceration, bleeding and perforation, intussusception, and small bowel obstruction. To reinforce the importance of including this entity in the differential diagnosis of abdominal pain, we present the case of a 10-year-old girl with a history of chronic epigastric complaints who was ultimately presented with acute small bowel obstruction following fragmentation and distal migration of her gastric trichobezoar. Finally, we review and briefly summarize the current literature regarding the etiology, diagnosis, and management of this disorder in children.
