The Great Mimicker: Pseudo-Meig Syndrome in a Pregnant Patient. A Review
Meig syndrome is the triad of benign ovarian tumor, ascites, and pleural effusion. Pseudo-Meig syndrome mimics the Meig syndrome triad; however, in pseudo-Meig syndrome, the ovarian tumor usually represents a primary malignancy or metastases. Differentiating Meig from pseudo-Meig syndrome is challenging both clinically and with diagnostic imaging but is important because prognoses for these distinct entities are drastically different. Evidence-based sonographic prediction models are valuable because they can aid in this distinction. Here, we present the first reported case of pseudo-Meig syndrome secondary to large, bilate...

Distance Between the Distal Rectal Pouch and Perineum in Neonates of Low-Birth Weight With Imperforate Anus
In conclusion, nonsignificant correlation was observed between P-P distance and birth weight, and cutoff P-P distance to diagnose low-type imperforate anus was 12.5 mm. Despite the very small sample size in our study, and only 4 neonates with intermediate-/high-type imperforate anus, these findings are important because surgical management whether transperineal anoplasty or diverting colostomy is decided based on the type of imperforate anus, and P-P distance to diagnose the type of imperforate anus was feasible even in neonates with LBW.

Assessment of Fetal Congenital Heart Diseases by 4-Dimensional Ultrasound Using Spatiotemporal Image Correlation: Pictorial Review
The aim of this pictorial review is to describe the technical advances achieved through the application of 4-dimensional (4D) ultrasound using spatiotemporal image correlation (STIC) over conventional 2-dimensional ultrasound in the prenatal detection of congenital heart disease (CHD). Spatiotemporal image correlation is a volume imaging technique that simplifies fetal heart studies while providing more diagnostic information than is typically available from traditional 2-dimensional studies. Four-dimensional software allows the study of cardiac anatomy and function during a single cardiac cycle and has greatly contributed...

Is Lung Ultrasound Useful for Diagnosing Pneumonia in Children?: A Meta-Analysis and Systematic Review
Conclusions
Current evidence supports LUS as a useful imaging alternative for the diagnosis of childhood pneumonia. That it is easily carried out, readily available, relatively inexpensive, and free from the hazards of radiation make it an attractive alternative to chest radiography and physical examination for the diagnosis and the follow-up of pneumonia in children.
