Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumours (IMTs) have been describedin lung, bladder, spleen, breast, pancreas, liver, colon, spermaticcord, prostate, peripheral nerves, orbit and kidney. Traditionallybelieved as having a reactive pathogenesis, IMTs are now viewedmore as a neoplasm. This report describes a case of a renal IMT ina 14-year-old girl with spina bifida associated neurogenic bladderand a history of recurrent urinary tract infections. This represents aunique case as pediatric renal IMTs are very rare in the literature.We discuss how this patient was managed and how she presented compared to other reported cases.

ABSTRACT This case report describes the use of intravesicular amikacin irrigations to treat and prevent urinary tract infections (UTIs) in a pediatric patient with spina bifida and neurogenic bladder. A 15 year old Hispanic female was admitted for a UTI caused by Enterobacter cloacae and multiple-drug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa. A 7 day course of daily intravenous amikacin and ceftazidime was initiated along with twice daily intravesicular amikacin irrigations (15 mg/30 mL) with a dwell time of 2 hours. The patient improved and was discharged on prophylactic Bactrim SS (sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim) 1 tablet daily and intravesicular amikacin irrigations (15 mg/30 mL) once every other day. Approximately 2 months after discharge, the patient developed another UTI from multidrug resistant Escherichia coli and was treated with a 14 day course of daily intravenous ciprofloxacin accompanied by daily intravesicular amikacin irrigations. Adjunctive therapy with either once daily or twice daily intravesicular amikacin irrigations successfully treated the patient's UTI. However, prophylactic treatment with intravesicular amikacin failed to prevent future UTIs in this patient.

Six cases of hepatic encephalopathy (HE) treated with L-Dopa have been described in the literature1-3 but no substantial follow-up is available regarding the surviving patients. We treated a young girl in HE with L-Dopa and have had an 18-month follow-up to date. Case Report A. 13-year-old Negro girl with a one-year history of recurrent urinary tract infections was admitted with anasarca and ascites. She was normotensive and neurologically stable. Hematuria was observed but serum electrolytes, blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine levels were normal.
