Subclavian-artery-to-innominate-vein fistula presenting with congestive failure in a newborn infant.

Congestive heart failure associated with intrathoracic arterio-venous fistula has not, to our knowledge, been reported previously in a newborn infant. A 2 X 4 mm arterio-venous fistula between the subclavian artery and innominate vein presented on the first day of life with heart failure and required surgical intervention. The uncommon location of the fistula produced potentially misleading radiologic findings. When the infant was 2 days old the fistula and a 12 mm diameter persistent ductus arteriosus were ligated; following this, heart failure regressed.

Evaluation of hexosaminidase activity as a potential biochemical marker in serum for necrotizing enterocolitis.

The presence of increased serum activity of the lysosomal hydrolase hexosaminidase has been suggested to be potentially useful in the diagnosis of neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). In the present study, serum activity of hexosaminidase was measured in 19 neonates with NEC and compared to developmental patterns of enzyme activity determined in 61 neonates without NEC. Infants with NEC were studied at intervals starting at the onset of disease and continuing until 6 weeks after diagnosis. In normal infants, serum activity of hexosaminidase increases with increasing gestational and postnatal ages. However, infants with NEC had relatively lower serum hexosaminidase activity than these control infants of similar gestational and postnatal ages. Necrotizing enterocolitis is not associated with increased serum activity of hexosaminidase.

Hair whorl as an indicator of a mediastinal plexiform neurofibroma.

We report a boy with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF-1) who had nonspecific respiratory symptoms and a mediastinal mass. In addition to multiple caté au lait macules and subcutaneous neurofibromas, he had a hair whorl over the spine at the level of a deep mediastinal mass demonstrated by CT scan and MR examination. Thoracoscopy and biopsy of the mass revealed a plexiform neurofibroma. The clinical sign of a hair whorl may assist the clinician in early recognition of a paraspinal plexiform neurofibroma.

Acute appendicitis: as a predisposing factor for acute glomerulonephritis--report of two cases.

This is a review of two children who developed acute glomerulonephritis (AGN) following acute gangrenous appendicitis (AGA) with periappendicular collections. The first patient presented with AGN during the course of appendicitis. The second patient developed AGN after appendectomy. Both patients did not have any other predisposing factors. AGN resolved in both patients after massive intravenous antibiotics. This is the first report of acute appendicitis as a predisposing factor for AGN.

Unusual case of Meckel's diverticulum: a case report and review of an atypical form of presentation.

This is a review of a child who developed symptomatic anemia secondary to a huge Meckel's Diverticulum (MD). The patient presented with multiple complications, such as: neoplasia, occult chronic bleeding, giant size MD, partial intestinal obstruction and severe symptomatic anemia. There was complete resolution of the condition after resection and ileo-ileal anastomosis. After revision of the literature, this case is the first report of MD occurring concomitantly with such a myriad of signs and symptoms.
