Introduction: Ear diseases are common in children mainly due to altered anatomy of Eustachian tube which is straighter in children as compared to that in adults. However, the cause of hearing loss in children is more varied, including the etiologies. This study was done to find out the pattern of ear diseases in paediatric age group attending ear, nose and throat OPD in a tertiary care centre in Pokhara, Nepal. Materials and Methods: This is a prospective study done in paediatric patients attending ENT OPD over a period of one year from January 2010 to January 2011. The diagnoses were made on the basis of history and clinical examination. Results were expressed in numbers and percentages. Results: Out of 1632 Pediatric ENT patients, 944 had ear diseases, 59.2% were males and 40.8% females. Wax (33.4%) was the commonest diagnosis followed by Chronic suppurative otitis media (24.3%) and Acute ottitis media (13%). Conclusion: Ear diseases are most common condition in ENT OPD among paediatric age group. Wax, CSOM and ASOM were the three most common ear diseases. J. Nepal Paediatr.

Aim As the rates of complications related to tracheostomy procedures have fallen in recent years, the routine taking of pulmonary radiographs following tracheostomy has become a matter of debate. The aim of this study was to compare the incidence of complications developing in 120 children who had pulmonary radiographs taken following surgical tracheostomy and to thereby evaluate the necessity of routine pulmonary radiographs after tracheostomy. Methods The data were retrospectively reviewed of 120 children who had pulmonary radiographs taken following surgical tracheostomy between January 2012 and January 2018. The pulmonary radiographs taken before and immediately after tracheostomy were evaluated independently by two paediatric radiology specialists and the results were recorded. Results The incidence of complications after tracheostomy was determined as 23.3%, and no pneumothorax was determined in any patient. An increase was not seen in the complication incidence in those who had undergone emergency tracheostomy and patients aged < 2 years, which are accepted as high-risk groups. In the evaluation of the pre- and post-tracheostomy radiographs, new findings were determined on the post-tracheostomy radiograph that had not been there previously in eight patients (6.6%). These findings were newly formed infiltration in seven patients (5.8%), and malposition of the tracheostomy tube in one patient (0.8%). No pathology requiring intervention was determined on the radiographs of any patient. Conclusion The results of this study support the view that it is not necessary to take pulmonary radiographs routinely following tracheostomy in the paediatric age group, including those at higher risk.

This was an epidemiological study through a retrospective review of 215 medical records of patients with brain injury due to land traffic accidents treated at Ninh Binh Provincial General Hospital. Theresults showed that the majority of research subjects were male, accounting for 80.5%; The age group with higher prevalence of accidents was under 30 years old, accounting for 31.2%; The agegroup of 50-59 years old was at lower prevalence of accidents accounting for 15.8%. The time of the higher chance of occurring accident was between 4p.m and 11p.m daily. The majorityof traffic accidents occurred when riding motorbikes and electric bicycles (82.3%). About 75.0% of the victims received first aid with a gauze bandage; 5.4% of them had broken bones fixed. Amongthe brain injuries, 34.4% of the victims suffered from frontal trauma; 29.3% had unilateral cerebral hemisphere injury, 24.2% had temporal region injury, 15.8% had occipital region injury, and 8.4% ofvictims had parietal injury. More than half of the study subjects (53.5%) were hospitalized for 7-10 days. The rate of patients who have been discharged from the hospital with improved symptoms was81.4%; and 14.9% of patients were transferred to higher level hospitals.

Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) either sporadic or a part of tuberous sclerosis complex is rare in paediatric age group. Here, we report a case of LAM with tuberous sclerosis in an infant. She was referred to our institute at the age of 4 months as a case of recurrent bilateral pneumothorax requiring intercostal tube drainage. Detailed history revealed that patient was symptomatic since 1 month of age in the form of seizures. She had respiratory symptoms for last 15 days. General physical examination revealed whitish macular patches. Brain imaging was suggestive of cortical tubers and subependymal nodules. The echocardiography showed right atrial rhabdomyoma. Chest CT revealed multiple cysts suggesting LAM. On the basis of above findings, a diagnosis of tuberous sclerosis complex with LAM was made. The infant was started on sirolimus and there was significant clinical and radiological improvement over a period of 2 and half years without any side effects.

Introduction: Paediatric spinal anaesthesia is often the technique of choice in many short duration surgeries. However, the failure rate is higher with spinal anaesthesia in children than in adults. Aim: To evaluate if a non-touch technique of paediatric spinal anaesthesia can reduce anaesthetic failure. Materials and Methods: A pilot study was done in 10 paediatric patients from January 2018 to July 2018 in Mahatma Gandhi Medical College and Research Institute, Puducherry, India. Ten children posted for infra-umbilical surgeries in the age group of 4-10 years were given a sedative premedication with a combination of Pethidine and Midazolam They were kept in lateral position with the back much inside the edge of the table so that there was a considerable space between the table edge and the baby. Identification of the L3-L4 space was done by touching the patient. The 25-gauge quincke needle was pricked and the hub was held with the hand in the table without touching the patient. Results: The anaesthesia was successful with adequate level in all the patients; T8 in five patients and T10 in the other five patients. There were no significant side effects. Conclusion: From this pilot study on 10 patients, it can be suggested that the novel non-touch Partha’s technique is feasible and more successful with absent failure rate when administering spinal anaesthesia in the paediatric age group.
