BACKGROUND: Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is one of the most common congenital defects in the newborn. When its severe form is not corrected, it is associated with long-term morbidity. Closed reduction with casting is the standard primary treatment and reduction is confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We reported our experience on the reliability of MRI in postreduction assessment of DDH.

METHODS: All children who underwent closed reduction for Graf type IV DDH at our institution between September 2010 and June 2016 were retrospectively reviewed. Since 2010 we assessed postreduction position of the femoral head by performing a MRI.

RESULTS: Twenty-five (5 male, 20 female) patients presented with 29 (15 left sided, 6 right sided, 4 bilateral) Graf type IV DDH and underwent closed reduction at a mean age of 3.4 months. In all patients MRI studies performed within 24 hours were diagnostic, showing a concentric reduction of the femoral head within the acetabulum in 24/25 patients. In the patient with persistent hip instability, a subsequent open reduction was performed. In all the cases, there was no need of any contention or sedation during MRI.

CONCLUSIONS: On the basis of our experience, MRI is an excellent, safe and, reliable modality to confirm maintenance of adequate femoral head position and to evaluate soft tissue interposition. We agree that MRI is the gold standard to early depict dislocation after closed reduction of DDH.

No agreed recommendations exist for timing of urethral stent removal, after distal hypospadias surgery. We compared our preliminary case series with outcomes from literature: 18/44 patients were treated with catheter and 26/44 without it. The surgical outcome was comparable in the two groups. After hypospadias surgery, the main advantage of the immediate postoperative catheter removal was the shorter hospital stay without negatively affecting the care and home management.

INTRODUCTION: The appropriate management of asymptomatic congenital pulmonary malformations (CPMs) remains controversial. Prophylactic surgery is recommended to avoid the risk for development of pulmonary infections and to prevent the highly debated development of malignancy. However, the true risk for development of malignancy remains unknown. A systematic review analyzed all~cases in which lung tumors associated with CPMs in~both~the pediatric and adult populations were described.

METHODS: A comprehensive literature search was carried out; it included all the cases in which an association between CPMs and malignant pulmonary lesions was reported.

RESULTS: In all, 134 publications were eligible for inclusion. In 168 patients CPM was found associated with lung tumor. The diagnosis was made in 76 children at a mean age of 3.68 {\textpm} 3.4, whereas in the adult population (n~= 92) it was made at a mean age of 44.62 {\textpm} 16.09. Cough was the most frequent presenting symptom both in children and in adults. Most of the patients underwent lobectomy. The tumor most often associated with CPM was pleuropulmonary bastoma in children (n~= 31) and adenocarcinoma (n~= 20) or bronchioloalveolar carcinoma (n~= 20) in adults. The CPM most frequenty associated with tumors in children was congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (n~= 37), especially type 1 (n~= 21), whereas in adults it was bronchogenic cyst (n~= 25), followed by congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (n~= 21).

CONCLUSIONS: CPMs should be followed up and never underestimated because they may conceal a tumor. Apparently, there is no age limit for malignant progression of CPMs and no limit of the interval between first detection of the CPM and appearance of the associated tumor.

Wandering spleen is a rare condition, typically not only due to embryological defects of the splenic ligaments, but also secondary to trauma and splenomegaly. The most common presentation is acute abdomen with a mobile abdominal mass or recurrent abdominal pain. However, the spleen may be temporary in its normal position, and patients could be asymptomatic. A familiarity, if present, strengthens the diagnostic suspect.Abdominal ultrasonography and computed tomography are the examination of choice, and the management is surgical.

Ingestion of foreign bodies is a common presenting complaint in the pediatric emergency department. We present a case of a child in whom disc battery ingestion was suspected initially. The immobility of the foreign body on few days of conservative management raised the suspicion of two magnets. At operation, two magnets were found in the bowel causing a transmesenteric entero-enteric fistula.
