    Abstract Palpable thigh nodularity is a relatively frequent indication for imaging of vaccination-age children, with patients often referred by their community physician or general practitioner. Ultrasound (US) is the imaging modality of choice to delineate the abnormality, and we present a number of characteristic findings that permit the radiologist and pediatrician to accurately identify the cause. A retrospective review was performed at the largest children's hospital in a European country between 2015 and 2017 over a 30-month period. A search was performed of the hospital's Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) for all children referred for a soft-tissue, upper limb, or lower limb US between January 2015 and July 2017. The findings were collated and stored in a spreadsheet. Nine patients were identified who developed subcutaneous nodules in the thigh at some point during their childhood vaccination schedule. Three of these patients had clinical histories strongly suggestive of a diagnosis of abscess or foreign body. The remaining six patients were selected for more in-depth analysis. Four of these patients had US features consistent with vaccination granuloma. Two patients were ultimately diagnosed with venolymphatic malformations. Palpable thigh nodularity in a child of vaccination age is encountered with a reasonable frequency. When encountered, granulomas tend to be located within the subcutaneous tissues, and we postulate that this is due to erroneous administration of a vaccine into the subcutis rather than into the muscle.

    Abstract We describe a previously asymptomatic 7-year-old girl with a sudden cardiac arrest during elective pacemaker revision. Later imaging identified epicardial pacemaker lead strangulation of the left anterior descending and left circumflex coronary arteries. Anaesthetic induction led to a reduction in myocardial perfusion, precipitating the arrest. Extreme care should be taken during anaesthesia if cardiac strangulation is suspected.

    Abstract The Neuropathology of Human Parechovirus (HPeV) is not widely described due to the relatively recent discovery of the virus combined with a limited number of autopsy case reports. We report the case of an infant boy born at 38 weeks who, six days after birth, presented with fever and severe neurological dysfunction. Human Parechovirus Type 3 (HPeV3) RNA was detected in his cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and blood. He died five days after his initial presentation. Neuropathologic examination demonstrated multicystic encephalomalacia (ME). This case report confirms that white matter pathology is dominant in HPeV3 infection. A unique feature, of HPeV encephalomalacia is absence of CSF pleocytosis and minimal inflammation in the meninges. The findings permit comment on the pathogenesis of brain injury by this virus.

    Abstract Background: Emergency front of neck airway is a recommended airway rescue strategy in children over 1 year old. Surgical tracheostomy is advocated as the first-line technique, but in the absence of an ear, nose and throat surgeon cricothyroidotomy or tracheostomy is proposed. Recent research shows that clinical identification of the cricothyroid membrane is frequently inaccurate in older children and adults and has prompted investigation of ultrasound as a potential clinical tool for emergency front of neck airway. Advance knowledge of the dimensions of the pediatric cricothyroid membrane may assist clinicians in determining the feasibility of emergency front of neck airway, optimum technique, and equipment.
    Aims: The aim of this study was to assess the accuracy of ultrasound-assisted pediatric cricothyroid membrane localization and dimension measurement using magnetic resonance imaging as the reference standard.
    Methods: After structured training, two pediatric anesthesiology trainees used ultrasound to identify and measure the dimensions of the cricothyroid membrane in pediatric patients undergoing elective magnetic resonance imaging of the head and neck under general anesthesia. A pediatric radiologist reviewed the corresponding magnetic resonance imaging scans and measured the height of the cricothyroid membrane. The accuracy of the cricothyroid membrane height as measured by ultrasound was compared to that measured by magnetic resonance imaging.
    Results: Twenty-two patients were included in the study. The cricothyroid membrane was accurately identified by ultrasound in all cases. The correlation coefficient for cricothyroid membrane height measured by ultrasound and that measured by magnetic resonance imaging was 0.98 (95% C.I 0.95-0.99, P < 0.0001). The bias was -0.16 mm and the precision was 0.19 mm. All differences were within the a priori limits of agreement. The 95% limits of agreement were -0.54 to 0.22 mm.
    Conclusion: Ultrasound can be used to accurately identify and measure cricothyroid membrane height in pediatric patients. This approach could have clinical and research utility.
