    Mediastinal and subcutaneous emphysema associated with childhood measles (1984)
    Springer
    European journal of pediatrics 142 (1984), S. 33-36

    Notes: Abstract An analysis of the clinical records and chest radiographs of seventeen children with subcutaneous and mediastinal emphysema (SCME) complicating childhood measles was made. The commonest sites of extra-alveolar air were the retrosternal space (16/17) and paraspinal (12/17). Other areas were within the inferior pulmonary ligament (7/17) and subpulmonary areas (6/17). All patients had pulmonary infiltrates. There was pneumothorax in 30% of cases. Eighty per cent of children showed subcutaneous emphysema in addition to mediastinal emphysema. There was a mortality of 12%. SCME completely resolved within 14 days in the remaining patients.

    Sternal ossification in normal newborn infants (1985)
    Springer

    Notes: Abstract The lateral chest radiographs of 200 Nigerian newborn infants, whose gestational age was estimated by the Dubowitz examination, were analysed for the pattern of ossification of sternal segments. The length of each visible centre was also measured. The manubrium was ossified in all infants over 35 weeks. All infants 37 weeks and above demonstrated ossification of the first and second mesosternal segments. Ten infants had ossification of the xiphisternum. The average number of ossified segments see in this study is more than previously reported amongst Caucasian infants. The length of each segment correlated better with birth weight than gestational age. Our findings indicate that any infant with two ossified sternal segments, including the manubrium, is at least 30 weeks and those with 3 and 4 segments 34 and 37 weeks gestation, respectively. There is no difference in the pattern of sternal ossification between the sexes.

    Gastric distension in neonatal necrotising enterocolitis (1987)
    Springer
    Pediatric radiology 17 (1987), S. 202-205 
    Details
    ISSN: 1432-1998
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Medicine
    Notes: Abstract Nine cases of neonatal necrotising enterocolitis with a combination of gastric distension, paucity of bowel gas and bowel wall oedema are presented. It is postulated that the gastric distension may either be a result of a temporary obstruction at the pyloric canal from oedema or a direct effect of bacterial toxins on ischaemic gastric mucosa. Six (66%) of the 9 infants were term and it is suggested that any newborn infant presenting with isolated gastric distension with bloody stools should be treated as a case of necrotising enterocolitis.

    The metacarpal index of normal Nigerian children (1983)

    Notes: Abstract The metacarpal index (MCI) of 500 normal Nigerian children whose ages range from birth to 16 years was determined. The MCI of Nigerian children is higher than that of their Causasian counterpart, but similar to that of Jamaican children. The adult range of MCI is reached at the relatively low age of 9 years. The index is higher in females than males and the value for the left hand is higher than that for the right hand.

    Bone and soft tissue components of the leg in infants with protein calorie malnutrition (1986)
    Springer
    Pediatric radiology 16 (1986), S. 40-42

    ISSN: 1432-1998

    Topics: Medicine
    Notes: Abstract The measurements of muscle, fat and cortical thickness were made on leg radiographs of 40 kwashiorkhor infants and were compared with those of 32 normal infants. There is a significant decrease in muscle cylinder ratio, an index of the contribution of muscle to calf thickness in kwashiorkhor. The loss of bone cortex in kwashiorkhor is due mainly to failure of appositional growth. The muscle cylinder ratio in normal Nigerian infants is much higher than has been reported amongst Caucasians.

    Neonatal osteomyelitis in Nigerian infants (1984)

    Topics: Medicine
    Notes: Abstract Twenty-seven Nigerian infants with osteomyelitis during the first 28 days of life are presented to highlight the severity of the clinical manifestations and the radiological features of this infection. The clinical signs include limitation of movement of the extremities involved and localized swelling. Severe constitutional changes such as fever (〉39°C) and abdominal distension were common. This contrasts with results from North America and Europe which emphasize the paucity of clinical signs despite involvement of multiple sites. Multiple site involvement was encountered in only eight cases. Staphylococcus aureus, proteus mirabilis and candida albicans were the main pathogens isolated. The long bones were more frequently affected. Aggressive bone destruction was a constant radiological finding peculiar to staphylococcal osteomyelitis while the formation of sequestrum a rare occurrence in the newborn, was present in six patients. The mortality rate was 7.4% and the morbidity rate was equally low.

    Post-extubation atelectasis in ventilated newborn infants (1993)
    Springer
    Pediatric radiology 23 (1993), S. 183-185

    ISSN: 1432-1998

    Topics: Medicine
    Notes: Abstract Post-extubation atelectasis (PEA) constitutes the commonest cause of lung collapse in ventilated neonates. The clinical and radiological features of 47 ventilated infants who developed PEA within 24 h of extubation are reported. Three main radiographic patterns of atelectasis were identified: (1) transient unilobar collapse resolving within 12 h of extubation (19 cases), (2) multilobar atelectasis developing over a 48-h period (18 cases), and (3) progressive atelectasis resulting in complete collapse of a whole lung. A similar number of ventilated infants without PEA served as controls. We found a significant association between the incidence of PEA and multiple intubation (P〈0.02), presence of patent ductus arteriosus (P〈0.001) and neonatal sepsis (P〈0.05). Prophylactic physiotherapy is recommended for ventilated infants, particularly those with the above risk factors.

    Notes: Abstract The presence of the coracoid and proximal humeral head epiphysis in 201 Nigerian newborn infants was related to gestational age. The appearance of the humeral head of ossification centre was delayed, while the coracoid epiphysis appeared earlier than those of Caucasian newborn infants. There was no difference in the pattern of epiphyseal ossification between the sexes.

    Pneumatisation of the maxillary sinus in normal and symptomatic children (1986)
    Springer
    Pediatric radiology 16 (1986), S. 365-367 
    Details
    ISSN: 1432-1998
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Medicine
    Notes: Abstract The pattern of pneumatisation and normal width of the maxillary sinus in 191 Nigerian infants and children whose age range was 6 months to 14 years was determined. Fifty-four percent of children with no respiratory tract or sinus infection had an opaque maxillary sinus. A figure of 44.5% was obtained amongst children with suspected bronchopneumonia. Only 41.5% of suspected cases of sinusitis, acute and chronic middle ear disease had opaque sinuses. The highest rate of sinus opacity was seen in children under 2 years who were asymptomatic. The mean maximal width of the normally aerated sinus was 8.74 mm for children under 2 years, 16.5 mm for 3–6 years, 21.5 mm for 7–11 years and 25 mm for children 12 years and above. We conclude that maxillary sinus opacity in our experience is an unreliable index for the diagnosis of sinusitis in children.
