Abstract Objectives This study aimed to determine the prevalence rate of gynecomastia, determine mean glandular breast tissue sizes, and evaluate whether there is any difference in the prevalence rate of gynecomastia according to age using three different reference values of glandular breast tissue size (≥5, ≥10, ≥20 mm) in the pediatric age group. Methods Glandular breast tissue sizes were measured retrospectively from thoracic computed tomography (CT) images taken for other reasons in 961 boys aged 1–18 years. Results When each breast was evaluated separately (1,922 breasts), gynecomastia was observed in 1,001 (52.1%), 719 (37.4%), and 216 (11.2%) breasts with ≥5, ≥10, and ≥20 mm considered as reference values, respectively. A significant difference was found in terms of gynecomastia (p<0.001) and mean glandular breast tissue size (p<0.001) with respect to age. Conclusions New studies are currently needed to determine the glandular breast tissue size and the prevalence rate of gynecomastia in boys, and thoracic CT images can be used for this purpose.

Context. Craniofacial anomalies (CFA) are a major cause of infant mortality and childhood morbidity. They may be simple or multiple and vary in their clinical importance. Objectives. To estimate the prevalence of craniofacial anomalies among Iraqi people and its association with other congenital malformations. Methods. A hospital-based cohort study. It was conducted in Iraq, Fallujah city from Jan 2019-April 2019. The pediatric age group below 16 years attending the consultation clinic. Results. The prevalence rate of craniofacial anomalies was 2%. There were 43 (54%) males and 37 (46%) females. A 55 cases (69%) out of total 80 cases have an association with other internal congenital malformations, and 25 cases (31%) have no association. Those associated internal malformations were categorized according to their types into congenital heart disease 33(60%), Renal diseases 9 (16%), CNS anomalies 8(15%), and GIT anomalies 5(9%). Conclusions. Craniofacial anomalies showed a relatively higher prevalence rate in comparison to other studies worldwide. It was found that the majority of craniofacial anomalies might be associated with other congenital systemic malformations. Furthermore, the necessary actions to identify the frequency and risk factors associated with craniofacial anomalies in the Iraqi population are emphasized to put a better strategy to establish future preventive programs and treatment.

Abstract Introduction Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a global health issue, accounting for a significant number of adult and pediatric deaths and morbidity. Computed tomography (CT) is an important diagnostic modality for TBI. The primary goal of this study was to determine if there were any significant radiological differences in CT brain findings between adult and pediatric populations. Materials and Methods Data of individual patients were collected from admission to discharge/death, which included various parameters in terms of demographics, mechanism of injury, and patient outcome which were later analyzed. A total of 1,150 TBI patients were enrolled in the study. Results The most common mode of injury in adults is road traffic accident (RTA) followed by fall from height (FFH), while in pediatrics it is vice versa. Findings of basal cisterns on CT brain were found to be statistically significant in both groups; 65% adults and 71% pediatrics had only one abnormal CT finding. Most common combination CT finding in adults was acute subdural hematoma (ASDH) and basal cistern abnormality, while in pediatrics it was traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and contusion. Rotterdam score (based on CT brain findings) was significantly lower for pediatric age group compared with adults. It was 2.2 ± 0.85 for adults and 1.99 ± 0.74 for pediatrics, which was statistically significant (p < 0.001). Conclusions The Rotterdam score has immense predictive power for prognostication of mortality status. Pediatric age group has better prognosis in terms of survival as compared with adults, thus justifying the role of Rotterdam CT score for mortality risk stratification in providing clinical care.

<p>The study was aimed at documenting the relationship between Glasgow coma score with imaging findings on computed tomography in children with traumatic brain injury. Un-necessary radiation exposure can be detrimental in pediatric age group and can lead to an increased risk of radiation induced malignancies.</p><p><strong>Patients and Methods:</strong><strong>  </strong>This retrospective study was conducted in Department of Radiology Lahore from 15.8.11 to 15.11.11. It included 48 children who presented in emergency department with history of fall or trauma to head. These patients underwent computed tomography using standard imaging protocols. All the data was analyzed by using SPSS version 17.</p><p><strong>Results:</strong><strong>  </strong>A total of 48 patients from 6 months to 15 years of age with history of fall or trauma to head who underwent CT scan were included in study. 20 (42%) patients revealed normal study. Extra/intra axial bleed is noted in 11 (23%), evidence of cerebral edema was</p><p>noted in 4 (8%) patients. 9 (19%) patients had fracture of skull bones and cephalhematoma was noted among 4 (8%) patients. Imaging findings were seen in majority of the patients with GCS less than 13/15.</p><p><strong>Conclusion:</strong><strong>  </strong>Neuroimaging can serve as a useful guide regarding management of traumatic brain injury however un-necessary radiation exposure is detrimental in pediatric age group. A correlation between GCS and decision regarding imaging can serve as an effective approach to decrease rates of neuro imaging after pediatric head trauma.</p>

Congenital lumbar hernias are uncommonly seen in the pediatric age group, with only about 60 cases reported in the literature. It is usually accompanied by a multitude of congenital anomalies involving different organ systems of the body. For instance, it may involve the ribs, spine, muscles, and the kidneys. Herein, we report a case of congenital lumbar hernia in an 8-month-old boy who underwent an operative repair using a mesh with an uneventful outcome.
