Neuroblastoma (NB) has been linked with an excess of gastrointestinal malformations, but there is a significant scarcity of associated respiratory anomalies. We report on two children having an abdominal NB and a bronchogenic cyst diagnosed simultaneously and in different order of appearance. Both masses were removed in separated procedures, taking into account the priority and the time sequence of chemotherapy. Literature is reviewed, checking that the genetic basis for this association is supported by speculations about the oncogene RON.","PeriodicalId":269806,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Pediatric Surgery (EJPS)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116168806","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Following ESIN at the lower extremity (23 femur fractures, 14 tibia fractures), keloid formation was remarkable in one patient, range of motion (ROM) was adequate in all but one boy (extension deficit of the hip of 10 degrees). Overall leg length discrepancy was +4.1 mm (+/- 5.2 mm) following ESIN for femur fracture and +3.2 mm (+/- 6.4 mm) following tibia fracture. Radiologically, all fractures had healed and no signs of avascular necrosis (AVN) could be detected. Malalignment was documented in one girl following tibia fracture (valgus of 12 degrees). Assessment of the upper extremity (28 forearm fractures, 5 humerus fractures) revealed keloid formation in 5 children. Impaired ROM was found in three children following ESIN for a forearm fracture (limited pro-/supination). Radiological controls detected one case of retrocurvation of the humerus (12 degrees, polytrauma patient) and one varus deviation of the radius in a 10-year old boy. Questioning the children about their opinion of the treatment, 93% considered the cosmetic results as good (6% fair), they judged the functional ability as perfect in 91% (9% fair) and 93% expressed great overall content (6% fair, 1% poor). In conclusion, ESIN provides good long-term results and can be a beneficial method for children with long-bone fractures.","PeriodicalId":269806,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Pediatric Surgery (EJPS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128680510","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We describe a new case with diaphragmatic eventration. Literature review for cases of Jarcho-Levin syndrome with diaphragmatic defects, which were six cases, revealed that renal affection increased when diaphragmatic defects associate the syndrome with pulmonary hypoplasia. Thus, the subgroup of spondylothoracic dysplasia with diaphragmatic defect is a more severe subgroup of the syndrome rather than the other forms of this syndrome. Relating the described anomalies in this case and that of the literature cases to the known embryological basis may point to a pivotal developmental link between lung, kidney and diaphragm, possibly the posterior mesenchyme.","PeriodicalId":269806,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Pediatric Surgery (EJPS)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127963577","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
