    Notes: Abstract We assessed the normal movement of the lumbar spinal cord using phase-contrast MR imaging, and also the movement of the spinal cord in patients with spinal lipoma pre- and postoperatively. Phase-contrast MR imaging proved to be a valuable tool in this context.

    Notes: Abstract Neonatal hypoglycemia represents an emergency of heterogenous etiology. The occurrence of persistent hypoglycemia caused by hyperinsulinism has not been well established. Some authors claim that it may be more common than previously suggested. The diagnostic goal is to distinguish hyperinsulinemia from other causes of hypoglycemia because management strategies differ. The diagnosis of persistent hypoglycemia attributable to hyperinsulinism is made when insulin secretion is excessive or inappropriate (〉10 μIU/ml). Medical management includes frequent feeding, high hydrocarbon intake, glucagon, diazoxide, somatostatin or steroid treatment. In case of resistance to medical intervention, surgery consisting of subtotal pancreatectomy is performed to avoid neurological sequelae. However, pediatric organic hypoglycemia secondary to hyperinsulinism can be caused by either diffuse or focal pancreatic lesions. Differentiation between these two types of lesion is necessary since partail pancreatectomy can prevent diabetes. In this prospective study, pancreatic venous sampling (PVS) was evaluated for the preoperative localization of lesions in 25 children with hyperinsulinism and correlated with surgical, pathological and clinical outcome. PVS is the most accurate preoperative technique for localizing focal lesions in children. Besides being safe and effective, it has the great advantage of detecting focal secretion, thus reducing the need for extensive surgery.

    Dynamic gadolinium-enhanced subtraction MR imaging – a simple technique for the early diagnosis of Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease: preliminary results (1997)

    Notes: Abstract Purpose. To determine whether the simple technique of dynamic gadolinium-enhanced subtraction MR imaging, which is available on standard MR units, can detect ischemia of the femoral head in children with early Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease (LCP). Materials and methods. Bone perfusion of eight hips in four patients (mean age 7.5 years) was studied using dynamic gadolinium-enhanced subtraction MR imaging at the onset of proven LCP (with initial negative plain films). Enhancement of subtracted images was compared with that on standard MR images and with bone scintigraphy find- ings. Results. Subtraction MR imaging depicted ischemia as a widespread absence of enhancement and was in good agreement with bone scintigraphy. The subtraction technique improved the sensitivity and the specificity of MR imaging in two children. Furthermore, subtraction MR imaging allowed recognition of the pattern of early reperfusion. Conclusion. Our preliminary results indicate that dynamic gadolinium-enhanced subtraction MRI is a simple and promising means of early recognition of ischemia in LCP.

    Magnetic resonance imaging of the fetus (1998)

    Notes: Abstract Fetal magnetic resonance imaging (FMRI) has gained considerable interest during the last decade, especially in its intracranial applications. Due to its high soft-tissue contrast and presumed safety, FMRI should be accepted as a complementary technique in prenatal diagnosis, useful either to elucidate equivocal findings on routine US studies or to further delineate some pathological entities. Normal patterns of fetal brain maturation, as shown by FMRI, are described because they are of paramount importance to accurately evaluate intracranial diseases. To date, however, FMRI requires specialised facilities and should be considered as an evolving clinical research modality and performed within precise guidelines in a multidisciplinary approach to prenatal pathology.

    Notes: Abstract Background: Between February 1995 and June 1998, 30 laparoscopic Duhamel pull-through procedures were performed in our department. Methods: Our main aim was to prove the feasibility of the laparoscopic abdominal Duhamel procedure for different localizations of Hirschsprung disease. We used one camera port and three working ports. The sigmoid colon and posterior rectum were mobilized laparoscopically. A standard posterior colo-anal anastomosis was fashioned and a stapler was used for the anterior anastomosis. The top of the rectum was then closed by endo stapler under laparoscopic vision. Results: Thirty patients underwent laparoscopic surgery for this procedure. Three laparoscopic procedures were converted because of technical difficulties. The operative time was 100–330 mn. Oral feeding was started at a mean postoperative time of 2.5 days. Mean postoperative hospitalization was 9 days. Early postoperative complications included 1 anastomotic leak, 1 retrorectal abscess, 2 urinary infections, and 1 evisceration (after conversion). No enterocolitis or enterocolitis-like symptoms were noted. All patients now have daily spontaneous bowel movements. Conclusion: The laparoscopic Duhamel procedure can be performed safely, giving good results.
