The Impact

AbstractNeurological emergencies account for about one-third of the highest severity codes attributed in emergency pediatric departments. About 75% of children with acute neurological symptoms presents with seizures, headache, or other paroxysmal events. Life-threatening conditions involve a minor proportion of patients (e.g., less than 15% of children with headache and less than 5% of children with febrile seizures). This review highlights updated insights about clinical features, diagnostic workup, and therapeutic management of pediatric neurological emergencies. Particularly, details will be provided about the most recent insights about headache, febrile seizures, status epilepticus, altered levels of consciousness, acute motor impairment, acute movement disorders, and functional disorders, as well as the role of diagnostic tools (e.g., neuroimaging, lumbar puncture, and electroencephalography), in the emergency setting. Moreover, the impact of the current novel coronavirus disease2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on the evaluation of pediatric neurologic emergencies will also be analyzed.

Upper Gastrointestinal

Corrosive injury is a devastating injury which carries significant morbidity. The upper gastrointestinal tract is predominantly affected with severity ranging from mild inflammation to full thickness necrosis which may result in perforation and death. Among the complications, stricture formation is most common, causing dysphagia and malnutrition. Endoscopy has a pivotal role in the diagnosis and management, with a few shortcomings. Imaging has an important role to play. Besides radiography, there is an increasing role of CT scan in the emergency setting with good accuracy in identifying patients who are likely to benefit from surgery. Further, CT scan has a role in the diagnosis of complications. Oral contrast studies help in assessing the severity and extent of stricture formation and associated fistulous complications in the subacute and chronic phase. The scope of intervention radiology for this condition is increasing. Fluoroscopy-guided balloon dilatation, drainage of collections or mucoceles, endovascular embolization of point bleeders, placement of feeding jejunostomy and image-guided biopsy are among the procedures that are being performed. Through this review we aim to stress the role the radiologist plays in the diagnosis and follow-up of these patients and in performing radiological interventions. Besides this, we have also highlighted few salient points to help understand the pathophysiology and management of such injuries which is paramount to ensure a good long-term outcome.

Acute Relapse

Multiple sclerosis is one of the commonest causes of disability in young adults. This review highlights some of the acute presentations of this condition, and how these may be managed in the emergency setting. The role of corticosteroids is discussed, along with the value of other drugs in symptom control during an acute relapse.
