Imaging findings of children with PTEN-related hamartoma tumor syndrome: a 20-year multicentric pediatric cohort
ConclusionBrain abnormalities, benign non-vascular soft tissue abnormalities, and vascular anomalies are commonly seen in children and adolescents with PTEN-related hamartoma tumor syndrome. However, malignancies involving the thyroid gland are not uncommon. Familiarity with the phenotype of PTEN-related hamartoma tumor syndrome in the pediatric population can improve diagnosis and prompt appropriate clinical surveillance of abnormal findings that warrant further management.Graphical abstract (Source: Pediatric Radiology)

Measuring synovial thickness on knee MRI in pediatric patients with arthritis: is contrast necessary?
ConclusionUnenhanced knee MRI is equivalent to contrast-enhanced MRI in assessment of synovial thickness using conventional MRI sequences. Contrast material helped improve inter-reader reliability.Graphical abstract (Source: Pediatric Radiology)

Transseptal coronary artery —a pictorial review
AbstractA transseptal coronary artery course, also known as a transconal course, is an anomalous course of the left main coronary artery (LMCA) or the left anterior descending artery (LAD) through the conal septal myocardium. The conal septal myocardium is the posterior wall of the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT), acting as a dividing myocardial wall between the subaortic and subpulmonary outflow tracts. The initial segment of a transseptal coronary artery has an extraconal course between the aorta and the RVOT cranial to the true intramyocardial segment. The transseptal coronary artery then emerges out of the conal...

Sociodemographic factors and Child Opportunity Index disparities associated with missed care opportunities in pediatric patients with lymphoma and leukemia referred for FDG-PET/CT
ConclusionChildren with lymphoma/leukemia, living in zip codes with very low or low COI, and who identified as Black/African American non-Hispanic/Latino experienced more MCOs. Our study supports the need to address intersecting sociodemographic, neighborhood, and health system factors that will improve equitable access to necessary healthcare imaging for children.Graphical abstract (Source: Pediatric Radiology)

Case of pediatric cerebellar, hippocampal, and basal nuclei transient edema with restricted diffusion (CHANTER) syndrome in a 2-year-old girl
AbstractCerebellar, hippocampal, and basal nuclei transient edema with restricted diffusion (CHANTER) syndrome is a recently described entity that refers to a specific pattern of cerebellar edema with restricted diffusion and crowding of the fourth ventricle among other findings. The syndrome is commonly associated with toxic opioid exposure. While most commonly seen in adults, we present a case of a 2-year-old girl who survived characteristic history and imaging findings of CHANTER syndrome. (Source: Pediatric Radiology)

Diagnostic magnetic resonance imaging characteristics of congenital mesoblastic nephroma: a retrospective multi-center International Society of Pediatric Oncology-Renal Tumor Study Group (SIOP-RTSG) radiology panel study
ConclusionThis retrospective international collaborative study showed classic type congenital mesoblastic nephroma predominantly presented as a homogeneous T2-weighted isointense mass with a typical concentric ring sign, whereas the cellular type appeared more heterogeneous. Future studies may use identified MRI characteristic of congenital mesoblastic nephroma for validation and for exploring the discriminative non-invasive value of MRI, especially from Wilms tumor.Graphical Abstract (Source: Pediatric Radiology)

Sonographic diagnosis of spondylodiscitis in a young child
AbstractSonographic diagnosis of spondylodiscitis is described in a 21-month-old girl who presented with altered gait. Spondylodiscitis, also referred to as discitis-osteomyelitis, is an infection of the intervertebral disc and adjacent vertebrae. The imaging modality of choice is spinal magnetic resonance imaging. Our case is the first description in the English language of the sonographic diagnosis of spondylodiscitis. Pediatric radiologists and sonographers should be acquainted with its features, for both incidental and intentional diagnosis. (Source: Pediatric Radiology)

Paediatric hepatic angiosarcoma with consumptive hypothyroidism —an important diagnostic pitfall to avoid during evaluation of hepatic vascular tumours
We present a case of hepatic angiosarcoma in a 20-month-old girl, associated with consumptive hypothyroidism and, as a result, initially misdiagnosed as infantile hepatic haemangioma. Radiologists should be aware that consumptive hypothyroidism is not a reliable feature to use in excluding paediatric hepatic angiosarcoma. Biopsy should be performed in patients older than 1 year of age or with atypical imaging features.Graphical abstract (Source: Pediatric Radiology)
