    Abstract Objective: To determine the incidence of vasospasm in traumatic brain injury patients with traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage.
    Methods: IRB approval was obtained for this retrospective chart review. An institutional trauma database was queried for adult patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (tSAH) seen on CT head obtained within 20 days. The presence of vasospasm on CTA was determined by radiology report. Association between categorical background characteristics and intracranial vasospasm was assessed by the chi-square test and association between a continuous variables and intracranial vasospasm was assessed by a paired t-test.
    Results: 1142 patients with traumatic SAH were identified from the trauma database. 792 patients were excluded: 142 for age <18, 632 did not have CT angiography, and 18 had non-traumatic SAH. 350 patients were analyzed, of which 28 (8 %) had vasospasm. Traumatic vasospasm was associated with higher-grade TBI based on Cochran-Armitage trend test (p < 0.05). Vasospasm patients had longer length of stay in the ICU (mean days 13.64 vs 7.24, P < 0.001), and had a higher incidence of death (39.29 % vs 20.81 %), although this did not reach statistical significance.
    Conclusion: Intracranial vasospasm, specifically in patients with tSAH, is associated with more severe TBI and longer stays in the ICU. Our incidence is smaller compared to other studies likely due to the retrospective nature and the infrequency of obtaining CT angiography after initial presentation. Prospective studies are warranted as the incidence is significant and may represent a point of intervention for TBI.

    Abstract An increasing number of children are diagnosed with differentiated thyroid cancer. With an excellent prognosis for the majority of pediatric patients, the goal of therapy is to optimize outcome while reducing complications. Increased knowledge of the somatic, oncogenic driver mutations provides opportunities to improve the accuracy of diagnosis, to stratify surgery, and to treat patients with morbidly invasive or refractory disease. Treatment complications can be reduced by referral to regional, high-volume pediatric thyroid centers.

    Abstract An increasing number of children are diagnosed with thyroid cancer. Most patients do not have an identifiable cause; however, tumor predisposition syndromes may be associated with development of both differentiated and medullary thyroid cancer. With an excellent prognosis for most patients, the goal of therapy is to optimize outcome and reduce complications. The increased knowledge of the oncogenic drivers provides opportunities to improve the accuracy of diagnosis, stratify surgery, and select systemic therapy that may be considered for neoadjuvant and adjuvant treatment. Treatment complications can be reduced by referral to regional, high-volume pediatric thyroid centers.

    Abstract Purpose of review: Compared with adults, there is a two-fold to three-fold increased risk of malignancy for a pediatric patient undergoing evaluation of a thyroid nodule. In 2015, the American Thyroid Association published guidelines on the evaluation and management of pediatric patients with thyroid nodules and differentiated thyroid cancer. The goal of this clinical update is to review recent additions to the literature and propose opportunities how to best incorporate these findings into clinical practice.
    Recent findings: Recent additions to the literature include assessment of ultrasound-based scoring systems to improve selection of patients for fine needle aspiration, defining the pediatric-specific risk of malignancy within The Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology, and broadening our knowledge of the oncogene landscape that supports incorporation of adjunct oncogene testing to rule-in malignancy of nodules with indeterminate cytology.
    Summary: There have been significant additions to the literature on the evaluation and management of children and adolescents with thyroid nodules since publication of the 2015 American Thyroid Association guidelines. Incorporating these changes into clinical care, within the setting of multidisciplinary, pediatric-specific, regional centers, will maximize ongoing efforts to improve the care of children and adolescents with thyroid nodules.

    Abstract Purpose of review: Amiodarone-induced thyroid dysfunction is well established. The present review discusses recent literature related to the effects of amiodarone on the thyroid gland and thyroid function in pediatrics.
    Recent findings: Current guidelines in adults treated with amiodarone recommend baseline thyroid function testing followed by initiation of thyroid hormone monitoring after 3 months on therapy. Two retrospective studies to evaluate amiodarone-induced thyroid dysfunction in children and young adults reveal thyroid dysfunction as soon as 2 weeks after amiodarone initiation with a greater percentage of pediatric patients developing amiodarone-induced hypothyroidism rather than thyrotoxicosis. Although additional studies are needed to determine if AIH is associated with negative impact on growth and neurocognitive development, what is clear is that in both adults and pediatrics, there is low compliance with recommended side effect-monitoring guidelines.
    Summary: Pediatric patients are at similarly high risk to develop amiodarone-induced thyroid dysfunction as are adults. It is hoped that through improved education of providers and patients further research into the incidence, the potential risks of amiodarone therapy and the potential benefits of thyroid hormone replacement therapy in patients with AIH will be investigated and reported.

    Abstract There has been a steady incorporation of powerful new molecular tools into the evaluation and management of thyroid nodules and thyroid cancer. With an increasing incidence of nodules and differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) being diagnosed in children and adolescents, oncogene data are providing insight into the clinical differences between pediatric and adult patients with histologically similar DTC. However, additional investment and efforts are needed to define the genomic landscape for pediatric DTC with the goal of improving preoperative diagnostic accuracy as well as stratifying treatment in an effort to reduce complications of therapy.

    Abstract Background: Anterior choroidal artery (AChA) fusiform aneurysms are exceedingly rare and associated with high rebleeding and mortality rates. Their difficult anatomy comes with a broad range of treatment options, including bypass, stent-assisted coiling, and flow diversion. Currently, flow diverters are approved for large-caliber internal carotid artery segment aneurysms. However, many institutions have expanded their use to distal small-caliber vessels, which raises questions regarding device sizing and long-term patency. The authors present a dissecting distal AChA fusiform pseudoaneurysm treated successfully with flow diversion.
    Observations: A 40-year-old woman with monoclonal gammopathy of unknown significance, lichen sclerosis, and an unspecified connective tissue disease presented with diffuse subarachnoid hemorrhage. She had a dissecting, 5 × 3-mm, left AChA pseudoaneurysm 4 mm distal to the origin of the vessel. A 2.5-mm flow redirection endoluminal device was deployed. There were no procedural complications. A 6-month cerebral angiogram showed device patency and no pseudoaneurysm remnant. These results were maintained at 1 year as seen on head magnetic resonance angiography.
    Lessons: Flow diversion is a successful and safe therapeutic intervention for challenging intracranial aneurysms originating from small-caliber vessels supplying eloquent vascular territories.
