A long-term follow-up study of 26 children with anaphylactoid purpura (Schönlein-Henoch Syndrome) is presented. The average length of follow-up was 4½ years. Of these 26 children, 10 were found to have an apparent latent nephritis characterized by hematuria and cylinduria, but without marked proteinuria. Nine of the ten children were over the age of 6 years at the time of onset of purpura; 6 had proteinuria or hematuria during the acute phase of the disease. It is suggested that this renal sequela of anaphylactoid purpura may constitute one of the origins of chronic renal disease "of unknown etoiology" which occurs in adult patients.

Abstract The pathogenesis of postlaminectomy spinal deformity and instability in children was evaluated by reviewing appropriate roentgenographic findings. First, we reviewed spine roentgenograms of patients below 40 years of age who underwent spinal fusion for deformity and instability of the spine developing after a multiple level laminectomy. Two types of deformity were recognized on the roentgenograms: increased mobility between the vertebral bodies and wedging deformity of the ventral aspect of the vertebral bodies. Second, we did a follow-up study of another group of patients who had undergone laminectomy. We found the same two types of deformity in children, but not in adult patients. The incidence of deformity was higher after laminectomies of the cervical or cervicothoracic region than after lumbar laminectomies. Our data suggest that postlaminectomy spinal deformity can develop in children without irradiation or facet injury. The deformity is due to a wedging change in the cartilaginous portion of the vertebral body and to the viscoelasticity of ligaments in children. When treatment of this complication becomes necessary, anterior fusion may be effective in arresting progression. Prophylactic measures against the development of deformity are discussed. Our hypothesis concerning the mechanism of development of this complication supports the rationale of osteoplastic laminar resection and reconstruction instead of laminectomy, particularly in the management of children.

AbstractThe aims of this study were to assess the development of heart failure in patients with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries in a medium-term follow-up, to identify the impact of tricuspid regurgitation on the development of heart failure, and to determine the most reliable marker for its identification. The prospective 6-year follow-up study included 19 adult patients. All patients were evaluated clinically by the determination of N-terminal pro-hormone brain natriuretic peptide levels, exercise stress testing, echocardiography magnetic resonance, or CT. Among them, two patients died of heart failure. There was a decline in exercise capacity and systolic systemic ventricular function (p=0.011). Systemic ventricular ejection fraction decreased (48.3±13.7 versus 42.7±12.7%, p=0.001). Tissue Doppler imaging showed a decline in peak tricuspid systolic annular velocity (10.3±2.0 versus 8.3±2.5 cm/second, p=0.032) and peak tricuspid early diastolic annular velocity (14.6±4.3 versus 12.0±4.5 cm/second, p=0.048). The tricuspid regurgitation did not increase significantly. N-terminal pro-hormone brain natriuretic peptide levels increased (127.0 ng/L(82.3–305.8) versus 226.0 ng/L(112.5–753.0), p=0.022). Progressive exercise intolerance in congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries appears to be driven mainly by a progression in systemic right ventricular dysfunction. Tricuspid regurgitation is likely to play a role, especially in patients with structural abnormalities of the tricuspid valve – Ebstein anomaly. The N-terminal pro-hormone brain natriuretic peptide levels and tissue Doppler parameters appear sensitive in detecting changes over time and may guide management.
