AbstractMesenteric vasculopathies in pediatric patients pose a challenge for clinicians due to their nonspecific clinical presentations and the lack of reported clinical experience. Few cases have been reported in literature and knowledge of mesenteric vasculopathies has not been thoroughly understood. Diagnosis and management of mesenteric vasculopathies in children is heavily dependent on proper radiologic imaging. In this review, we attempt to consolidate information regarding the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management of mesenteric vasculopathies of congenital malformations, genetic anomalies, vasculitis, and ischemic insults. Pediatric interventional radiology is providing a forefront of minimally invasive techniques for both diagnosis and treatment of various pathologies of the mesenteric vasculature.

Invasive Techniques

Metastasis is the most common cancer of the bone. These lesions cause significant pain and morbidity. Palliative treatment has been the mainstay in managing these patients. However, the introduction of minimally invasive techniques and the concept of filling metastatic bone lesions with acrylic cement has revolutionised the management of these patients. Such techniques are usually performed under conscious sedation, thus reducing the risks of general anaesthesia in this group of patients, who are often unfit for major surgery. This article presents a review of the different intervention techniques performed by the radiologist in patients with skeletal metastasis. We have reviewed the techniques of vertebroplasty, acetabuloplasty, sacroplasty and some of the different ablation procedures.

Gummy Smile

Gummy smile is a characteristic in which the patient exposes more than 2 mm of keratinized gingiva in forced smile. With a multifactorial cause, its correct planning depends directly on the correct diagnosis. Usually, the procedures that involve manipulation and the enlargement of the aesthetical crown lengthening are surgical. The objective of this case series was to show the advantages of surgical crown augmentation surgery in aesthetic areas with minimally invasive techniques. Three cases of gummy smile were presented, with different treatment plans and techniques for execution. In the 3 cases, bone removal was performed with piezoelectric ultrasound, which made the postoperative more comfortable for patients. These cases illustrate the use of technology to reduce morbidity in patients who need to undergo bone removal to treat gingival smile.
