Summary A one-day-old full-term female infant with massive “cardiomegaly” developed marked respiratory distress soon after birth.
The two-dimensional (2D) echocardiogram demonstrated a 4×5-cm cystic mass adjacent to the left ventricular free wall. Computed
tomography (CT) confirmed the presence and dimension of the cyst and CT number indicated the fluid within the cyst to be serous.
A pericardial cyst was successfully removed at thoracotomy.
Two-dimensional echocardiography and CT, both noninvasive procedures, are fully adequate tools in the diagnosis of pericardial
cysts in the neonate, so that invasive investigations may be avoided. 相似文献

Thymic cysts are rare embryonic remnants along the course of thymic migration in the neck or the anterior mediastinum which
may result in cervical masses in children, often misdiagnosed. We present the experience gained by three European tertiary
care medical centers in the treatment of thymic cysts as well as the current data on the embryology, clinical presentation,
diagnosis and management of thymic cysts. A retrospective study was carried out in nine patients with thymic cysts during
the period 1986–2002 at the departments of Pediatric Surgery of Children’s University Hospital “Federico II” and “Santobono”
Pediatric Hospital of Naples in Italy and “Aghia Sophia” Children’s Hospital of Athens in Greece. All cases were asymptomatic,
appearing mainly as masses resembling branchial cyst or lymphatic malformation. Laboratory and imaging investigations were
not useful for preoperative diagnosis. In one case the mass extended into the mediastinum. The histological findings of thymic
tissue and Hassal’s corpuscles in the cystic wall were diagnostic. In all cases, surgery was successful and uneventful. Surgical
excision was accomplished by dissection of the cystic masses from the jugular vein, carotid artery and vagus nerve and from
the sternocleidomastoid muscle. The presence of a normal thymus in the mediastinum must be documented preoperatively in order
to avoid the risk of total thymectomy. If a cervical thymic cyst extends into the normal thymus, attempts should be made to
preserve the thymus, especially in younger patients. Thymic cysts should always be included in the differential diagnosis
of lateral cervical masses, especially in children.

Six children presented with clinical symptoms suggestive of a choledochal cyst (CC), but were found to have only mild dilatation
of the common bile duct. Further imaging revealed a long common pancreaticobiliary channel in all cases. There was complete
relief after surgery provided a pancreaticobiliary disconnection was incorporated in the operative management. A high index
of suspicion is required to diagnose this condition, which has been previously reported as “forme fruste CC”.

We report the case of an immunocompromised 15-year-old boy who presented with symptoms mimicking an “acute abdomen” related
to necrotizing myofasciitis of the anterior abdominal wall. CT demonstrated the abdominal wall process as the cause of the
patient's symptoms and sonographically guided aspiration confirmed the diagnosis. Despite prompt diagnosis and aggressive
surgical debridement, the infection continued to progress and the patient died within 24 h of presentation.

It is rare for a frontotemporal dermoid cyst to present as a discharging sinus, and even more rare for it to have intracranial
extensions. Only a few cases of intraorbital extension have been reported. We report a 14-month-old girl who presented with
all the aforementioned features. She had a temporal dermoid with three discharging sinuses over the temporal area, lower lid,
and cheek. It also had an intraorbital extension through the lateral orbital wall and an intracranial extension through the
temporal bone. Preoperative computed tomography was done as there was a history of “orbital cellulitis”. Excision of the cyst
was done using a hemicoronal-preauricular incision. A lateral orbitotomy was required to remove the orbital component in continuity
with the rest of the cyst.

Rectal duplications are rare anomalies. Recently, we observed four cases of rectal duplication, each presenting with different
clinical features including chronic constipation, a prolapsing rectal “polyp,” a “growth” from the vulva, and acute retention
of urine. The variety of clinical presentations may lead to delay in diagnosis and multiple operations.

Vascular disease in the pediatric population is a poorly understood process which is often underestimated in its incidence.
The common beginnings of such ubiquitous diseases as atherosclerosis manifest themselves at a cellular level shortly after
birth. Other common systemic disorders, including congestive heart failure and sepsis, are also intricately associated with
dysfunctional vasculature. Progress in the understanding of normal and pathophysiologic processes within the vascular system
begins with the “control center”– the endothelial cell. The purpose of this review is to consolidate a body of knowledge on
the processes that occur at the cellular level within the blood vessel wall, and to simplify the understanding of how imbalances
in these physiologic parameters result in vascular disease.

Expansile lesions of the skull vault are rare in childhood, and often present as relatively asymptomatic calvarial swellings.
The cases of 5 children with expansile lesions of the skull vault due to both benign and malignant primary bone lesions are
described. The value of computerised tomography in demonstrating that the “tumour” arises primarily from the skull vault as
opposed to the underlying brain, and in demonstrating clinically unsuspected endocranial extension of the mass is described.
The CT findings in 2 cases of aneurysmal bone cyst, including the significance of the presence of “fluid levels” in reaching
a definitive diagnosis are discussed. The successful pre-operative embolisation in one case of aneurysmal bone cyst is reported. 相似文献

Arachnoid cysts are collections of cerebrospinal fluid covered by arachnoidal cells and collagen. They may have a congenital or acquired origin. We present the case of a 7-year-old boy with a cerebellopontine angle arachnoid cyst harbouring a portion of neuroglia. Microscopically, the cyst wall consisted of a delicate fibrovascular membrane lined by a layer of arachnoidal cells. A thin layer of glial tissue ran the whole length of the cyst wall. This finding supports a congenital origin for this case. Cerebellopontine angle arachnoid cysts harbouring neuroglia without ependymal elements are very rare lesions and may be successfully treated by surgical resection. 相似文献

The authors report a case of a simple testicular cyst in a 16-week-old infant. Preoperative ultrasonography helped to diagnose
this condition accurately. Gonadal preservation and enucleation of testicular cysts are possible with a careful surgical approach,
and orchiectomy is not necessary.

During the period 1994–1998, three patients with bilateral hydatid cysts of the lung (HCL) underwent operative removal of
the cysts. In three of the six lungs operated upon the conventional technique was used: after removal of the cyst and suture
closure of bronchial leaks, the chest was closed with an intercostal drainage tube. Two of these patients developed bronchopleural
fistulae requiring rethoracotomy and prolonged hospital stays. The other three lungs were operated upon using the pneumonostomy
technique: after excision of the cyst a separate catheter is fixed within the residual lung cavity and brought out through
the adjacent chest wall, effectively marsupialising the residual cavity to the atmosphere. All these patients had an uneventful
postoperative recovery. We conclude that the pneumonostomy technique is a very useful method of treating HCL surgically, especially
when the cysts are bilateral and complicated.

Ependymal cysts are generally located in the cerebral parenchyma but rarely found in the third ventricle. A 4-year-old boy presented with headache, vomiting, and upward gaze palsy. His consciousness gradually deteriorated in the course of 6 h. A magnetic resonance imaging study disclosed dilation of the lateral ventricle and a cystic mass in the third ventricle. We performed an endoscopic resection of the cyst wall. The cyst originated on the lateral wall of the third ventricle and obstructed the aqueduct. Histological examination confirmed a diagnosis of ependymal cyst. The patient recovered quickly and his headache and nausea disappeared. Third ventricular ependymal cysts are a rare cause of acute hydrocephalus but an important differential diagnosis. Their neuroendoscopic resection can resolve disturbances in cerebrospinal fluid circulation, is useful for cyst wall removal, and appears to be superior to shunt placement. 相似文献

Background. Infants with torticollis require evaluation of the entire cervical spine for vertebral anomalies as part of the work-up,
but open-mouth views to assess occiput to C2 are difficult to obtain. Objective. To evaluate a “head wag” autotomographic technique for the frontal projection of this region. Materials and methods. Twenty infants under one year of age were evaluated using this technique. Results. Sixteen of 20 could be adequately evaluated using this simple, low-radiation-dose procedure. Conclusion. For infants with torticollis in whom vertebral anomalies need to be excluded, the “head wag” technique is useful.

Paratubal cysts in young females as an incidental finding in laparotomies performed for right lower quadrant abdominal pain 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
E. Vlahakis-Miliaras D. Miliaras G. Koutsoumis S. Miliaras I. Spyridakis M. S. Papadopoulos 《Pediatric surgery international》1998,13(2-3):141-142
Paratubal cysts represent remnants of the paramesonephric or mesonephric duct, the former being more common. Most of them
are asymptomatic, but they may rarely give rise to clinical problems due to enlargement or torsion. In this study, we looked
for paratubal cysts or other pathological lesions of the right uterine adnexa in young females operated upon for right lower
quadrant (RLQ) abdominal pain. Our material consisted of 338 white female patients aged 4–14 years. Laparotomy revealed only
acute appendicitis in 283 cases, while 44 had acute appendicitis plus a coincidental paratubal cyst. Most of these cysts were
smaller than 1 cm in diameter. However, 2 additional cases had torsion of a large paratubal cyst, while 5 had a ruptured corpus
luteum. We suggest that a thorough search of the right adnexa for the presence of paratubal cysts during laparotomies performed
for RLQ pain is a useful procedure. This approach also allows detection of other pathological lesions of the right adnexa
that often produce symptoms similar to acute appendicitis.

A 4-year-old boy presented with acute abdominal pain and a 1-year history of intermittent umbilical complaints. Ultrasonographic
examination demonstrated a large cyst in the lower abdomen divided by a thin membrane. With micturition, impaired bladder
function was expected. Initial suprapubic drainage produced 1,000 ml dark-brown liquid. Laparotomy revealed an ileal duplication
cyst. Preoperative computed tomography and laparoscopy with the cyst drained did not further clarify the diagnosis.

The unusual and rare case of a 6-year-old boy is reported who presented with an arachnoid cyst located in the cerebellopontine angle incorporating an ectopic piece of choroid plexus tissue. A microneurosurgical cyst wall resection was performed and the plexus tissue identified and removed. The rare occurrence of ectopic choroid plexus tissue within cysts of the CNS is discussed. 相似文献

A suprasellar arachnoid cyst may cause disorders of growth, puberty and hypothalamic-pituitary function, due to the proximity
of the cyst to the hypothalamic-pituitary area. A total of 30 patients (17 boys) with cyst diagnosed at 4.3 ± 1 years were
routinely evaluated at 5.4 ± 1 years; 24 of them had one or multiple cyst derivations. Some 23 cases had an abnormal height,
weight or puberty: short (<−2SD, 5 cases) or tall (>2SD, 10 cases) stature, overweight (body mass index, BMI, >2SD, 6 cases),
central precocious puberty (10 cases) and/or no progression of pubertal development (3 cases). The growth hormone (GH) peaks
after pharmacological stimulation test were low (<10 μg/l) in 16 patients, confirmed by a second evaluation in 8/11 of them.
The plasma free thyroxine was low in five patients, prolactin was high in two and the cortisol and concomitant plasma and
urinary osmolalities were normal. BMI was correlated negatively with the GH peaks (r=−0.37, P < 0.01) and positively with the plasma leptin concentrations (r=0.55, P < 0.01). The plasma fasting insulin concentrations were also correlated negatively with the GH peaks (r=−0.55, P < 0.02) and positively with the plasma insulin-like growth factor I concentrations (r=0.64, P < 0.002). The adult height (12 cases) was at 4SD in 1 and <−2SD in 4 patients, two of whom had precocious puberty untreated
with gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) analogue, and two had untreated GH deficiency. The adult height of those treated
was normal. One girl had primary amenorrhoea and two boys had low plasma testosterone, despite a normal gonadotropin response
to a GnRH test.
Conclusion Suprasellar arachnoid cysts may cause deficiencies of growth hormone and thyrotropin, stimulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal
axis, tall stature and/or overweight. These last two disorders may be due to hyperinsulinism, itself due to suprasellar arachnoid
cyst.

Hemisplenectomy for giant splenic cysts in children 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

To analyse the clinical features and outcome following surgery of giant splenic cysts in␣children, all patients presenting
to a children's hospital over the years 1987–1996 were reviewed. Variables analysed included presenting symptoms, method of
diagnosis, operative procedure, and complications. Six patients (aged 8–16 years) presented with abdominal pain or a large
abdominal mass. Ultrasound examination demonstrated large (>5 cm) unilocular splenic cysts. Five of the six children underwent
hemisplenectomy without complication or blood transfusion. The remaining patient had an infected cyst, for which total splenectomy
was necessary because of major intraoperative haemorrhage. Hemisplenectomy is based on accurate dissection of the splenic
hilum with clear knowledge of the intracapsular vascular anatomy of the spleen. Preoperative vaccination is recommended in
the event that splenectomy is required. This retrospective review concludes that hemisplenectomy for splenic cysts is a safe
procedure in children.

An 8-year-old boy underwent a penetrating keratoplasty for a corneal epithelial cyst. After surgery an anterior chamber implantation cyst appeared. Repeated Neodymium:YAG (Nd:YAG) laser treatments failed to eradicate this cyst; it later extended into the sclera together with the collapse of the anterior chamber cyst. The possible mechanism underlying the development of these cysts is discussed. 相似文献
