Paediatric Renal Ultrasound - Congenital Abnormalities of the Kidney and Urinary Tract (CAKUT) and Urinary Tract Dilation

Sonography of the eye is useful in children especially when ophthalmoscopic examination is limited or inconclusive. Most of our requests are from paediatric ophthalmologists that want to further evaluate the eye so as to achieve a more accurate diagnosis. Ultrasound plays an important role allowi...

Paediatric Renal Ultrasound - Congenital Abnormalities of the Kidney and Urinary Tract (CAKUT) and Urinary Tract Dilation

Ultrasound elastography is a useful non-invasive tool for the diagnosis of liver fibrosis in adults (1). It plays a similar role in children, with some differences in the confounding factors and in the etiological spectrum of the liver disease; however, guidelines and recommendations have not bee...

The most important consideration in dealing with fetal hydronephrosis is the overall welfare of the mother and the child, then one should consider the outcome for the kidneys and the bladder.
What the Paediatric Urologist needs to know is if and when intervention is needed. While we await resear...

KUB ultrasound is the bread and butter scan of the paediatric ultrasound department. Accurate and consistent measurements of hydronephrosis are important for treatment and interval surveillance of these patients. At present there is a mismatch between the measurements considered normal in the ant...

Lung ultrasound has shown promise as a powerful diagnostic tool in newborns. During birth, the infant must transition from a fluid filled lung that depends on the placenta for oxygenation and the elimination of carbon dioxide to an aerated lung that successfully exchanges gases. Ultrasound examin...

Overview of the real utility of lung ultrasound in neonatology across the spectrum of respiratory pathology encountered. The value of a starting with a focused clinical question in the functional application in various disease states, from acute respiratory distress to bronchopulmonary dysplasia ...

Forearm fractures in children are a common presentation to the Emergency Department. Paediatric distal forearm fractures account for almost a third of all fractures in children, with a significant proportion of these diagnosed as buckle (torus) type fractures. These fractures are unique to childr...

Patients in the neonatal intensive care often demonstrate clinical situations where hemodynamic compromise is common. Birth itself is the complex transition from placental blood flow to pulmonary blood flow as predominant provider of preload to the left heart, with redirection of blood flow over ...

Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a congenital deformity occurring in ª3% of infants. If hip dysplasia is diagnosed early
simple corrections using a soft cast are sufficient but if missed it can
lead to premature osteoarthritis and might require surgical intervention.
More than o...

Hydrocephalus refers to a pathological condition that occurs when there is an excessive accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the head. Hydrocephalus can either be congenital, resulting from disturbance in the development of the CSF pathways or alternatively, it is acquired due to secondar...

This presentation gives an approach to image acquisition for the structures of the posterior cranial fossa. There will be an overview of the common structural abnormalities and a focus on cerebellar haemorrhages and infarction. Attention will be paid to the importance of the detection of these le...
