20 cards. Read the term and the definition here. The deck at the top of this page is optional.
- Malrotation
- An abnormal developmental rotation or fixation pattern that can leave a narrow mesenteric base and predispose bowel to twisting.
- Midgut volvulus
- Twisting of the midgut around its mesenteric axis, potentially compromising blood supply and requiring urgent qualified surgical assessment.
- Ladd bands
- Peritoneal attachments associated with malrotation that can cross and compress the duodenum in the relevant anatomical setting.
- Esophageal atresia
- An interruption of esophageal continuity whose relationship to an airway fistula must be defined for neonatal assessment and planning.
- Tracheoesophageal fistula
- An abnormal communication between tracheal and esophageal structures, with different anatomical patterns and possible feeding or respiratory presentations.
- Gastroschisis
- An abdominal-wall defect commonly adjacent to the umbilical cord with exposed bowel, requiring neonatal protection and individualized specialist management.
- Omphalocele
- An umbilical-ring abdominal-wall defect with a covering sac in the typical presentation, assessed for associated structural and genetic conditions.
- Aganglionosis
- Absence of enteric ganglion cells in the relevant bowel segment, requiring adequate tissue interpretation rather than inference from one radiograph.
- Pull-through
- A reconstructive surgical concept bringing appropriately ganglionated bowel to the distal outlet, with different named procedures and anatomical features.
- Pyloric stenosis
- Infantile muscular narrowing at the gastric outlet associated with nonbilious vomiting, assessed using clinical physiology and appropriate ultrasound findings.
- Intussusception
- Invagination of one bowel segment into another, producing a variable clinical pattern and requiring assessment of stability and reduction suitability.
- Lead point
- A structural feature that can initiate or sustain bowel invagination, particularly relevant to selected recurrent or older-child presentations.
- Patent processus vaginalis
- Persistent communication along the developmental peritoneal extension relevant to many pediatric inguinal hernias and some hydrocele patterns.
- Cryptorchidism
- Failure of a testis to occupy its expected scrotal position, assessed with age, palpability and appropriate pediatric specialist evaluation.
- Valve bladder syndrome
- Persistent bladder dysfunction in the context of posterior urethral valves that may remain important after the initial obstruction is treated.
- IDRF
- An image-defined risk factor used in neuroblastoma assessment to describe relevant locoregional anatomical relationships before treatment planning.
- PRETEXT
- A pretreatment liver-tumor extent framework based on involved sectors and contiguous tumor-free sectors, distinct from counting individual lesions.
- Nephron sparing
- A tissue-preservation principle balancing tumor control with remaining renal function, particularly relevant to selected bilateral or predisposed renal tumor settings.
- Sequestration
- Abnormal lung tissue with systemic arterial supply whose precise vascular and pleural relationships are important for safe specialist planning.
- Nonshivering thermogenesis
- Heat generation involving neonatal brown adipose tissue that supports temperature control but consumes metabolic resources and requires appropriate environmental care.
