The treatment of extensive hemangioma of the perineum and the inner surface of the left hips in a child of the first year of life. Clinical case

The most common extracranial solid malignant tumor of childhood – neuroblastoma (NB) is characterized by the presence of two metastatic forms (stages 4 and 4S). Stage 4S is described to have metastatic spread to the liver, skin, and minimal bone marrow invasion. Certain rare localisations of NB metastases (pleura, testicles, and others) may not worsen the prognosis in children of the first year of life in the absence of severe bone marrow invasion and metastases to the skeletal bones. The article describes a clinical case of retroperitoneal NB with atypical metastasis to the pleura in a child of the first months of life with a favorable outcome with a minimum amount of chemotherapy.

Lymphangioma is a benign lymphatic system tumor, often congenital, mainly affecting lymph nodes in various anatomic localizations. Postnatally mostly common lymphangioma manifestation occurs during the first year of life. Today it can be readily diagnosed prenatally. Diagnosis is based on non-invasive visualization, such as sonography and computed tomography. The objective: is to present clinical case of manifest fetal lymphangioma diagnosed during pregnancy. Fetal ultrasound (US) was performed at 28, 32, 34 weeks of gestation. As a result fetus was diagnosed with hypoechogenic mass in right axillary region, growing in dynamics gradually from 34×28 mm, 38×34 mm to 49×37 mm. Mass had clear even contours, hyperechogenic capsule with fine dispersed suspension content. Color doppler imaging showed avascular mass character. After delivery at 37–38 weeks of gestation (planned Cesarean section) at newborn examination we visualized asymmetric soft elastic consistency protrusion along right midclavicular and anterior axillary region. Described clinical case of fetal lymphangioma is a good illustration of dynamic prenatal and postnatal dynamic observation and its US interpretation.

The authors highlighted new approaches to diagnosis and therapy of Kaposi varicelliform eruption in children of early age. It was described the results of own observations of the child in the first year of life with Kaposi varicelliform eruption and experience of application-sorption therapy in the treatment of this disease. The high efficiency of application-sorption therapy in skin lesions caused by combination of infection and allergy in children was noted. The clinical case examined allowed to assess the full complexity of differential diagnostic approaches in verification of eczema herpeticum. For a wide range of paediatricians and surgeons, algorithms for diagnosis and therapeutic tactics were described in the case of Kaposi varicelliform eruption.

Hemophilia A is an X-linked congenital bleeding disorder caused by a deficiency or absence of coagulation factor VIII. In children who are in the first year of life, bleeding into the head accounts for 12.8–17.7 % of cases, and up to 45.5 % of them are intracranial bleeding in contrast to adult patients, in whom joints are the most frequent localization of bleeding. The first 2 years of life are the most dangerous in relation tointracranial bleeding for a child with hemophilia and the provision of full preventive treatment is extremely important for this time.Aim of the study – present the first experience of using emicizumab as primary prophylaxis in a child of the first year of life with hemophilia A. A patient born in 2020 with a severe hemophilia A had two post-traumatic bleeding that required hospitalization and replacement therapy. We decided to start primary prophylaxis with emicizumab at the age of 10 months.There were not spontaneous bleedings during 8 months of emicizumab usage. Post-traumatic bleeding did not require hospitalization and additional therapy.The clinical case demonstrates that emicizumab is effective and safe in infant who have not previously received prophylactic treatment.

Swallowing Apnea

Abstract Research exists that evaluates the mechanics of swallowing respiratory coordination in healthy children and adults as well and individuals with swallowing impairment. The research program summarized in this article represents a systematic examination of swallowing respiratory coordination across the lifespan as a means of behaviorally investigating mechanisms of cortical modulation. Using time-locked recordings of submental surface electromyography, nasal airflow, and thyroid acoustics, three conditions of swallowing were evaluated in 20 adults in a single session and 10 infants in 10 sessions across the first year of life. The three swallowing conditions were selected to represent a continuum of volitional through nonvolitional swallowing control on the basis of a decreasing level of cortical activation. Our primary finding is that, across the lifespan, brainstem control strongly dictates the duration of swallowing apnea and is heavily involved in organizing the integration of swallowing and respiration, even in very early infancy. However, there is evidence that cortical modulation increases across the first 12 months of life to approximate more adult-like patterns of behavior. This modulation influences primarily conditions of volitional swallowing; sleep and naïve swallows appear to not be easily adapted by cortical regulation. Thus, it is attention, not arousal that engages cortical mechanisms.
