Brachydactyly is a relatively common congenital anomaly and can be associated with many other malformations. However, brachydactyly in association with biliary atresia is rare. We present a male child with strikingly symmetrical brachydactyly and nail hypoplasia, extrahepatic biliary atresia, patent
BACKGROUND
Continuous epidural infusion of bupivacaine is widely practiced for postoperative pain relief in pediatric patients. However, bupivacaine may induce adverse effects in infants (convulsions or cardiac arrhythmias), likely because of decreased hepatic clearance and serum protein binding
OBJECTIVE
Neurologic complications are a significant cause of morbidity in children after liver transplant. In this study, we sought to evaluate the neurologic complications in children after liver transplant.
METHODS
All children aged younger than 18 years old who had undergone liver transplant
BACKGROUND
Cluster investigations has been an important tool in investigations of diseases. While clustering of diseases or a manifestation in community can cause great public alarm, similar unexplained clustering in hospital admissions has baffled clinicians.
OBJECTIVE
(a) To determine whether
The neurologic complications of 24 children, ages 5 months to 18 years, following orthotopic liver transplantation at the Indiana University hospitals are reported. Biliary atresia (14 patients) was the most common cause for orthotopic liver transplantation. Three children died. Seventeen children
Between January 1990 and July 1992, 12 children with viral hepatitis occurring after liver transplantation (LTx) were treated with interferon alpha-2b. Seven were female and 5 were male; their ages ranged between 0.7 and 14.7 years (mean = 5.4 years). The indications for LTx included biliary atresia
A 47-day-old female infant presented with congenital inguinal hernia, seizure on the 2(nd) day of life, fever, progressive jaundice, acholic stools and distension of abdomen. She was suspected to have choledochal cyst with extrahepatic biliary atresia (EHBA) and referred for an Hepatobiliary Tc-99m
Between March 1981 and March 1986, 200 orthotopic heart transplantations were performed at the University of Pittsburgh. Fourteen of those procedures were carried out in children 2 to 16 years of age. Two children received combined liver and heart transplants; one because of familial
Our aim was to determine potentially adverse effects of immunosuppressive protocols after liver transplantation in children.The medical records of 60 children who underwent liver transplant retrospectively analyzed. Corticosteroid, tacrolimus, and BACKGROUND
Children infected with rotavirus often show increased levels of transaminase, and symptoms are characterized by white stool, similar to biliary atresia. Rotavirus infections are also sporadically accompanied with convulsions, encephalopathy and Reye syndrome. The aim of the present study
OBJECTIVE
Leukoencephalopathy syndrome is a neurologic complication after organ transplantation caused predominantly by the neurotoxic effects of immunosuppressive agents on cerebral white matter. We determined the incidence and features of leukoencephalopathy syndrome in recipients after
Rare individuals with 20p11.2 proximal deletions have been previously reported, with a variable phenotype that includes heterotaxy, biliary atresia, midline brain defects associated with panhypopituitarism, intellectual disability, scoliosis, and seizures. Deletions have ranged in size from 277 kb
