RESUMO
Las lesiones por cuerpos extraños son frecuentes en la edad pediátrica. La situación en la que un pelo del cabello puede actuar como un cuerpo extraño es infrecuente, reportándose escasos casos clínicos. Se conoce como pili migrans cutáneo a la lesión causada por un pelo del cabello que se encuentra en epidermis y se caracteriza por ser lineal, oscura y muchas veces serpiginosa, con superficie eritematosa, por lo cual es frecuente que se confunda con otras patologías como la larva migrans o la escabiosis. A continuación, se presenta el caso de una niña de 3 años que presentó una lesión en la planta del pie, asintomática y de reciente aparición (AU)
Foreign body injuries are common in the paediatric age group. However, instances in which a hair strand becomes a foreign body are rare, with few clinical cases reported in the past. Cutaneous pili migrans is defined as a lesion caused by a hair embedded in the epidermis, and it manifests as a linear, dark and often serpiginous eruption with an erythematous surface, for which it is frequently confused with other conditions, such as larva migrans or scabies. We report a case in a girl aged 3 years who presented with a lesion in the sole of the foot that was asymptomatic and had appeared recently. (AU)

BACKGROUND: Nebulized 3% hypertonic saline solution (HSS 3%) has proven to reduce hospital stay in infants with acute bronchiolitis, as compared with nebulized physiological saline solutions. There are no studies assessing the effectiveness of nebulized epinephrine in patients treated with HSS 3%. The aim of this study was to compare the length of stay (LOS) in hospitalized patients treated with HSS 3% with placebo vs. HSS 3% with epinephrine. Secondarily we aimed to assess the effectiveness and safety of both treatments. METHODS: We performed a prospective, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group study, including infants hospitalized for moderate acute bronchiolitis. Both groups received standard life support and were randomly treated with nebulized HSS 3% (7 mL) with either placebo 3 mL or epinephrine 3 mL. Nebulizations were initially administered every four hours and this interval was modified according to the patient's response. RESULTS: Sixty-four infants were included, 32 patients in each group. No statistically significant differences were found between the two groups (P=0.948) in length of stay, disease severity, SatO2, respiratory rate or heart rate. On the third day of hospitalization, severity and respiratory rate in the HSS 3%+E presented a non statistically significant trend to an earlier improvement, (P=0.063 and P=0.096 repectively). No adverse events occurred. Four patients (two from each group) required transfer to the pediatric intensive care unit. CONCLUSIONS: With a third of the final estimated sample, we find a trend to an earlier clinical recovery in the epinephrine group, even though no statistical significant differences in LOS were found. The study needs to be continued until the total sample is recruited.

Chest pain is the second most common reason for referral to a pediatric cardiologist, because cardiovascular-related disorders are a major concern for children and their families when seeking medical attention. On the rare occasions when pediatric chest pain is a result of severe heart disease, it is usually associated with well-known cardiovascular risk factors such as fibrillinopathies. Type 1 fibrillinopathies are heritable disorders caused by mutations in the fibrillin genes that lead to a broad spectrum of connective tissue phenotypes ranging from Marfan syndrome, at the most severe end, to patients displaying mild marfanoid features, or milder Marfan (MM). We report the case of an adolescent patient with MM and suspected acute coronary syndrome, with chest pain and electrocardiographic changes suggestive of myocardial ischemia. Despite the low risk of coronary or aortic dissection/aneurysm in MM, these possibilities should be tested. Once they are ruled out, mitral valve prolapse should be considered as the main cause of chest pain with ischemic-like changes in the inferior electrocardiogram leads. We emphasize that clinical and echocardiographic follow-up over years is warranted in the pediatric population to ensure that the aortic root does not show progressive dilatation or a tendency to dissect. Finally, genotyping is clinically indicated for early and complete diagnosis in patients with MM as well as de novo Marfan syndrome to take advantage of educational and clinical programs for young carriers of the mutation.

Chest pain is rare and usually benign in pediatrics. Cardiac etiology is even rarer. However, it is a symptom associated with ischemic heart disease and it imposes great social alarm, even in health care workers. Therefore, it is necessary to know the most common causes of this symptom in children, as well as serious diseases that can cause it, which require prompt medical attention. We report a case of chest pain associated with ischemic electrocardiographic changes in a patient with mitral valve prolapse and MASS phenotype (mitral valve prolapse, aortic root enlargement, and skeletal and skin alterations), we review the mitral valve prolapse and stress the importance of knowing it in the pediatric setting.

El dolor torácico es poco frecuente y, por lo general, benigno en pediatría. La etiología cardíaca es más infrecuente aún. Sin embargo, es un motivo de consulta que se asocia a cardiopatía isquémica y crea gran alarma social, incluso en profesionales de la salud. Por tanto, es necesario conocer las causas más frecuentes de este síntoma en el niño, así como de patologías graves que lo pueden provocar y requieren tratamiento urgente. Presentamos un caso clínico de dolor torácico asociado a cambios isquémicos en el electrocardiograma en una paciente con prolapso de válvula mitral y fenotipo MASS (prolapso de válvula mitral, dilatación de raÍz aórtica y alteraciones esqueléticas y cutáneas), revisamos el prolapso de válvula mitral y resaltamos la importancia de conocerlo en el ámbito pediátrico.
