Introduction: Bronchogenic cysts are congenital anomalies caused by abnormal bronchial development from the primitive ventral foregut, which arises from cells isolated from the main pulmonary branching when lung bud separates from the primitive gut.Materials & Methods: We reviewed all pediatric patients with bronchogenic cyst who underwent surgery in our thoracic surgical unit- III during 2007-2009. They comprised 1 male and 5 female patients, with an age range of 2 to 17 years (mean age 5.66 years).Results: Symptoms were present in 5 patients (83%), cough was the most common symptom. Other symptoms included purulent sputum, chest pain, fever, dyspnea, anorexia and/or weight loss, and haemoptysis. All patients underwent chest x-ray posteroanterior and lateral view and CT scan of chest for diagnostic purpose. Two of the cysts were mediastinal and rests were intraparenchymal. Surgery performed were resection (2), lobectomy (4). Complications of bronchogenic cysts occurred in 4 patients (67%). In 1 patient (Patient 2), a ruptured, infected, parenchymal bronchogenic cyst caused pleuritis and empyemaThere was no operative deaths & no in-hospital mortality.Conclusions: We conclude that one should go for surgical resection of all suspected bronchogenic cysts in operable candidates.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/jpsb.v1i2.19524

Abstract Background Large intracardiac bronchogenic cysts are rare mediastinal masses. However, they must always be considered in the differential diagnosis of heart failure with abnormal chest X-ray. Case presentation We present a 60-year-old female patient with de novo atrial fibrillation, heart failure and a very large intrapericardial mass. The patient underwent successful surgical resection, with pathological findings confirming a bronchogenic cyst. Conclusions Large bronchogenic cysts located intrapericardially are very rare. However, they should be included in the differential diagnosis of patients presenting with atrial fibrillation and heart failure with abnormal radiologic studies.

Abstract BACKGROUND: At the emergency department, there is a need for an instrument which is quick and easy to use to identify geriatric patients with the highest risk of mortality. The so- called ‘hanging chin sign’, meaning that the mandibula is seen to project over one or more ribs on the chest X-ray, could be such an instrument. This study aims to investigate whether the hanging chin sign is a predictor of mortality in geriatric patients admitted through the emergency department. METHODS: We performed an observational retrospective cohort study in a Dutch teaching hospital. Patients of ≥ 65 years who were admitted to the geriatric ward following an emergency department visit were included. The primary outcome of this study was mortality. Secondary outcomes included the length of admission, discharge destination and the reliability compared to patient-related variables and the APOP screener.RESULTS: 396 patients were included in the analysis. Mean follow up was 300 days; 207 patients (52%) died during follow up. The hanging chin sign was present in 85 patients (21%). Patients with the hanging chin sign have a significantly higher mortality risk during admission (OR 2.94 (1.61 to 5.39), p < 0.001), within 30 days (OR 2.49 (1.44 to 4.31), p = 0.001), within 90 days (OR 2.16 (1.31 to 3.56), p = 0.002) and within end of follow up (OR 2.87 (1.70 to 4.84),p < 0.001). A chest X-ray without a PA view or lateral view was also associated with mortality. This technical detail of the chest x-ray and the hanging chin sign both showed a stronger association with mortality than patient-related variables or the APOP screener. CONCLUSIONS: The hanging chin sign and other details of the chest x-ray were strong predictors of mortality in geriatric patients presenting at the emergency department. Compared to other known predictors, they seem to do even better in predicting mortality.

Preoperative Chest

To assess the value of routine preoperative chest x-ray films in pediatric patients, a prospective study of 1,500 patients, ages newborn to 19 years, was undertaken. Of all the patients, 7.5% demonstrated at least one roentgenographic abnormality, with 4.7% of the patients demonstrating a totally unsuspected significant roentgenographic anomaly. In 3.8% of the patients, surgery was either postponed or cancelled or the anesthetic technique was altered as a result of the roentgenographic finding. It is believed that the routine preoperative chest film is justified if the film is evaluated before surgery and the results clinically followed up.

Diagnostic Work

Driscoll et al. (Pediatrics 57:648, May 1976) reported a series of 43 patients with chest pain evaluated by history and physical examination, psychiatric interview, screening laboratory studies, ECG, and chest x-ray film. No organic cause was identified in 45% of patients, and various psychiatric aspects of the pain were discussed. The history obtained from pediatric patients is often suboptimal, and specific pain characteristics and associations cannot be defined. We therefore propose that more vigorous diagnostic work-ups are necessary before chest pain can be classed as "idiopathic."

Objective: Literature related to the imaging of COVID-19 pneumonia, its findings and contribution to diagnosis and its differences from adults are limited in pediatric patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate chest X-ray and chest CT findings in children with COVID-19 pneumonia. Methods: Chest X-ray findings of 59 pediatric patients and chest CT findings of 22 patients with a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19 pneumonia were evaluated retrospectively. Results: COVID-19 pneumonia was most commonly observed unilaterally and in lower zones of lungs in chest X-ray examinations. Bilateral and multifocal involvement (55%) was the most observed involvement in the CT examinations, as well as, single lesion and single lobe (27%) involvement were also detected. Pure ground-glass appearance was observed in 41%, ground-glass appearance and consolidation together was in 36%. While peripheral and central co-distribution of the lesions (55%) were frequently observed, the involvement of the lower lobes (69%) was significant. In four cases,the coexistence of multiple rounded multifocal ground-glass appearance and rounded consolidation were observed. Conclusion: COVID-19 pneumonia imaging findings may differ in the pediatric population from adults. In diagnosis, chest X-ray should be preferred, CT should be requested if there is a pathologic finding on radiography that merits further evaluation and if clinically indicated. Advances in knowledge: Radiological findings of COVID-19 observed in children may differ from adults. Chest X-ray should often be sufficient in children avoiding additional irradiation, chest CT needs only be done in cases of clinical necessity.

Abstract: Chronic cough is defined as cough that lasts 8 weeks or more. Chronic cough itself is not a disease, but a symptom of other diseases. Chronic cough is the most common symptom that occurs among outpatients and is the main cause of morbidity which was reported by 3-40% population. Chronic cough can be caused by some diseases such as pneumonia, tuberculosis, asthma, chronic bronchitis, emphysema, and lung fibrosis. Chronic cough is closely associated with smoking habit which is one of the predisposing factors. Chest x-ray is one of the seed examination for chronic cough because it is very helpful in diagnosing diseases especially pulmonary diseases and others that may cause chronic cough. Objective: To identify the chest x-ray imaging in chronic cough patients. Methods: This study using retrospective description data in November 2015.  Sample is obtained from all the medical records of patients with radiological diagnosis chronic cough who undertook a chest x-ray examination in the Radiology Department of the Medical Faculty of Sam Ratulangi University / Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Central General Hospital Manado during July – September 2015. Data was collected from chest x-ray request form and the results show 178 cases of chronic cough that fit the inclusion criteria. The results showed that there was 178 cases of chronic cough based on the radiological diagnosis. The most frequent cases were chronic cough caused by pulmonary tuberculosis (97 patients; 54.49%). Most patients were male (107 patients; 60.11%), and the most frequent age group was 20-49 years (60 patients; 33.71%). Keywords: chronic cough, chest x-ray  Abstrak: Batuk kronik adalah batuk yang berlangsung selama 8 minggu atau lebih. Batuk kronik sendiri bukanlah penyakit, tetapi merupakan suatu gejala dari penyakit-penyakit lain. Batuk kronik merupakan gejala yang paling umum terdapat pada orang dewasa yang melakukan pengobatan rawat jalan dan penyebab utama morbiditas yang dilaporkan oleh 3-40% populasi. Batuk kronik dapat disebabkan oleh beberapa penyakit seperti pneumonia, tuberculosis, asma, bronchitis kronik, emfisema, dan fibrosis paru. Batuk kronik erat hubungannya dengan kebiasaan merokok dimana merokok merupakan salah satu faktor predisposisi. Foto toraks adalah salah satu pemeriksaan pilihan untuk batuk kronik karena sangat bermanfaat dalam mendiagnosis penyakit terutama penyakit paru dan gangguan lain yang dapat menyebabkan batuk kronik. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui gambaran foto toraks pada penderita batuk kronik. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif retropektif yang dilakukan pada bulan November 2015.
