    Abstract Key clinical message: Persistent hypotension is a rare complication of celiac plexus neurolysis. It is important to know what are the main and rare complications and how to treat these in patients who undergo CPN.
    Abstract: Celiac plexus neurolysis is an effective treatment for visceral abdominal pain in oncological patients. Although it rarely has complications, some side effects may occur. A patient with visceral abdominal pain who developed long-lasting orthostatic hypotension and was treated with the use of corticosteroids after a neurolytic celiac plexus block for intractable pain. We describe a rare complication and its treatment and we emphasize the importance of having a guide for the management and treatment of rare complications. We also suggest that every patient be informed about complications, from the most common to the rarest.

    Abstract A 3-year-old male patient was brought to the Emergency Department with a traumatic blunt lesion in the liver. Due to hemodynamic instability and a severe lesion of a grade IV liver injury shown on the CT, the chosen conduct was to perform a hepatorrhaphy with oxidized cellulose.

    Abstract Introduction: Despite improving maternal-child indicators in Brazil, congenital malformations are still the second cause of mortality in the first years of life. This work aims to compare statistical data before and after flour fortification with folic acid (FA) in Brazil.
    Methods: A cross-sectional Brazilian-population-based study compares the spina bifida (SB) rates pre- and post-fortification of the flour with folate. Data collected from the public database of the Live Birth Information System (SINASC/SUS) was performed. The period 1999-2004 (pre-fortification) was compared with 2005-2010 (post-maize and wheat fortification with FA), and another analysis comparing 2005-2010 and 2011-2020 (cassava flour fortification) was performed. The estimator was the prevalence ratio (PRR); the confidence interval selected was 95%. We used a random effects analysis model and inverse variance.
    Results: The review showed a tendency to decrease the PRR after flour fortification; however, there is no statistical significance between studies. DATASUS data analysis comparing 5 years before and 5 years after mandatory maize and wheat flour fortification demonstrated a rate ratio of 1.05 (95% CI 0.99-1.1; p = 0.075). Furthermore, comparing 10 years after additional cassava flour folate fortification, the rate ratio increased to 1.4 (95% CI 1.34-1.45; p < 0.01).
    Conclusion: This study demonstrated an increase in SB after FA fortification. Possible explanations rely on national registry improvement, not fortified staple food, or further unidentified causes. Moreover, suggestions can be made for creating a mandatory registry for malformations, inspecting the concentrations of FA in the flour, and fortifying all food.

    Abstract Purpose: Cancer is the second leading cause of death in children from 2001 to 2005 in Brazil. This study aimed to describe the pattern of mortality from central nervous system (CNS) tumors in children in Brazil from 1979 to 2019.
    Methods: A descriptive study was carried out using data from the Mortality Information System (SIM) of the Ministry of Health, according to the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-9 and ICD-10), between 1979 and 2019. The frequencies of the distribution of available variables were calculated: age (0 - 19 years), s skin color, tumor behavior, year and place of death (by region), ICD-10, and all of these, excluding skin color (by ICD-9). Mortality rates in general, mortality from neoplasms, and specific rates of CNS tumors were calculated considering the variables described above.
    Results: In 40 years (1979 - 2019), there were 21,940 deaths due to brain tumors in children. A different pattern of the mortality rate of brain tumors was shown in children per age (increasing until age 5 - 9 years (28.9%) and then decreasing until age 15 - 19 years (20.2%)). The Southeast (44.3%), Northeast (23.4%), and South (17.5%) regions of Brazil had the highest rates; 94.7% of tumors were malignant, and 91.1% of deaths were observed in hospitals.
    Conclusion: To our knowledge, this is the first description of the mortality rate epidemiology of brain/CNS tumors in children in Brazil over 40 years. Furthermore, tumor malignancy, hospitals, and the Southeast and Northeast region of Brazil are factors associated with a higher mortality rate.
