Rare Presentation

Organising pneumonia (OP) is an interstitial lung disease characterised by granulation tissues in alveoli and alveolar ducts. Typical imaging findings are migratory airspace opacities with peripheral or peribronchovascular distribution. Diffuse micronodular OP (MNOP) is a rare imaging manifestation, which has imaging differential diagnosis of endobronchial infection such as tuberculosis, hypersensitivity pneumonitis and respiratory bronchiolitis. Although clinical and ancillary radiological findings may aid in refining the differential diagnosis, histopathological assessment is frequently required for this rare presentation due to implications of treatment and prognosis. We report a case of MNOP and performed a review of the literature.

Chest Computed Tomography

Interstitial lung disease is rare diseases in children. Respiratory symptoms appear progressively, are often subtle and diagnosis is often delayed by many months after onset. The histological diagnosis is confirmatory but high-resolution chest computed tomography is the most sensitive imaging technique for demonstrating and identifying interstitial lung disease. Interstitial lung disease in children mostly is idiopathic though it may be caused by several conditions. TAJ 2018; 31(2): 73-79

Respiratory Disorders

Interstitial lung disease (ILD) in childhood is a heterogeneous group of rare pulmonary conditions presenting chronic respiratory disorders. Many clinical features of ILD still remain unclear, making the treatment strategies mainly investigative. Guidelines may provide physicians with an overview on the diagnosis and therapeutic directions. However, the criteria used in different clinical studies for the classification and diagnosis of ILDs are not always the same, making the development of guidelines difficult. Advances in genetic testing have thrown light on some etiologies of ILD, which were formerly classified as ILDs of unknown origins. The need of genetic testing for unexplained ILD is growing, and new classification criteria based on the etiology should be adopted to better understand the disease. The purpose of this review is to give an overview of the clinical and genetic aspects of ILD in children.

Creatine Phosphokinase Level

Antisynthetase (AS) syndrome is a major subgroup of inflammatory myopathies seen in a minority of patients with dermatomyositis and polymyositis. Although it is usually associated with elevated creatine phosphokinase level, some patients may have amyopathic dermatomyositis (ADM) like presentation with predominant skin involvement. Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is the main pulmonary manifestation and may be severe thereby determining the prognosis. It may rarely present with a very aggressive course resulting in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). We report a case of a 43-year-old male who presented with nonresolving pneumonia who was eventually diagnosed to have ADM through a skin biopsy without any muscle weakness. ADM may be associated with rapidly progressive course of interstitial lung disease (ADM-ILD) which is associated with high mortality. Differentiation between ADM-ILD and AS syndrome may be difficult in the absence of positive serology and clinical presentation may help in clinching the diagnosis.

Multi Level

Split cord malformations (SCMs) are thought to be rare abnormalities representing 3.8-5% of all spinal cord anomalies. The prevalence is estimated to be 1 in 5499 live births (0.02%), with a slight female predominance (1.3:1). Although the estimates of prevalence vary, Type I SCM occurs more frequently than Type II SCM. In this paper, we are reporting the clinical presentation and imaging findings of multi-level SCM in a 27-year-old male. A literature review of the embryological background of SCM and pathological hypothesis for this entity is provided. A systematic review has been conducted to identify multi-level SCM cases reported in the literature, followed by proposing a new classification system to further our understanding and management of SCMs.
