Streptococcus acidominimus is rarely pathogenic in humans and is usually detected in veterinary science. In the literature, there are approximately 20 case reports that Streptococcus acidominimus is a human pathogen. They are pneumonia, pericarditis, infective endocarditis, sepsis, brain abscess and gradienigo syndrome. Only two of these cases were in the pediatric age group, one was infective endocarditis at the age of 15 years, other one was otitis media and gradenigo syndrome at the age of 12 years. There are no cases of invasive infection due to Streptococcus acidominimus in Turkey. Here, we report a case of infective endocarditis caused by Streptococcus acidominimus at 14 years of age.

Sacral Canal

Transverse sacral fracture is a rare entity in the pediatric age group, primarily resulting from a fall from height. This case report stresses the importance of proper neurological assessment, adequate imaging and highlights different modalities of management of this fracture. We report a case of a 13-year-old child with type III Roy-Camille sacral fracture with associated bladder and bowel dysfunction. The patient underwent spinopelvic fixation and decompression of the sacral canal. The patient partially regained bowel and urinary function and had improved motor function after three months of follow-up. Operative management is generally advocated for such fractures.

I received a letter from Dr. Walton M. Edwards, requesting us to acknowledge his report of an xanthogranuloma in the retroperitoneal space as the second case in the pediatric literature. Since our paper, "Retroperitoneal Xanthogranuloma"(Pediatrics, 30:608, 1962) was submitted for publication this paper by Captain Douglas H. Sandberg, M.C., and Colonel Walton M. Edwards, M.C., appeared in the British Journal of Urology, 34:47, 1962, reporting a case of xanthogranuloma of the retroperitoneal space in a 3-year-old male child. Our case is therefore the third to be reported in the pediatric age group and not the second as we reported.

Schwannomas of the paranasal sinus are uncommon. Less than 4% of schwannomas involve the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses, even less in the pediatric age group. A case of schwannoma arising in maxillary sinus in a 2.5-year-old Chinese boy is reported. The basis for discussion of this case is the exceptional rarity of sinonasal schwannoma in pediatric patients.

Febrile Ulceronecrotic Mucha-Habermann disease is a rare and potentially fatal variant of pityriasis lichenoides et varioliformis acuta and is characterized by high fever, constitutional symptoms, and acute oncet of ulceronecrotic lesions. We present an 11-year-old male with Febrile Ulceronecrotic Mucha-Habermann disease who was cured with methotrexate and review the use of methotrexate for this disorder in the pediatric age group with the relevant literature.

The Subject

Intussusception in the pediatric age group is usually idiopathic in origin, and in a small number of patients ranging from 2% to 12%, a pathological lesion as a leading point is identifiable. Of the variety of pathologcial lesions identified as leading points for intussusception, Meckel’s diverticulum is the most common but very rarely, isolated heterotopic pancreas is found within it.This is a case report of intussusception in an infant caused by an isolated heterotopic pancreas of the Meckel’s diverticulum. The literature on the subject is also reviewed. TAJ 2011; 24(1): 16-20
