Radiological Findings of the Infants Hip with Abduction Disturbance

Characteristic Radiological findings in Preterm Infants with Missed Intestinal Perforation

BACKGROUND Pneumoperitoneum on radiological imaging is typical in intestinal perforation in necrotizing enterocolitis [NEC]. However, it is not seen in all cases and intestinal perforation is missed on occasions. We present a series of preterm infants with characteristic x-ray findings that on exploration revealed missed intestinal perforation. METHODS Retrospective review of neonates with in...

Atypical Radiological Findings in Patients with Hydatid Cysts of the Lung, Study of 1024 Cases

Introduction : The objective of this study was to give a description of the most prominent atypical radiological presentations of lung hydatidosis. Materials and methods: All patients diagnosed with pulmonary hydatidosis by surgical exploration were included in this study. Standard chest roentgenogram and computed tomography CT) were evaluated before surgery for lung cysts or unknown lesions. R...

Abduction contracture of the hip in children.

Nine cases of abduction contracture of the hip in children from contracture of the gluteus maximus muscle are reported. Division of the aponeurosis glutens maximus over the greater trochanter always permitted full adduction.

Hip-abduction, knee-extension orthosis.

T he Hip-Abduction, KneeExtension Orthosis (HA, KE) is designed to aid in preventing or correcting deformities in spastic hip abductor and hamstring muscles when stretching and exercise do not suffice. Spasticity in this group of muscles is not uncommon in paraplegia or in other selected diseases of the central nervous system-for example, in multiple sclerosis. The orthosis consists of bila ter...
