8 Year Old Male With Trauma Due To A Fall. Diagnosis? • Xray of the Week Figure 1. What is the important finding? Figure 2 A: AP view radiograph of right forearm. Acute transverse fracture of distal radius visualized (green arrow). B: Lateral radiograph view of right forearm. Angulation of ulna visualized (red arrows). Discussion: The above imaging findings occurred in an 8-year-old child with a trauma after a fall. An angulated fracture of the distal midshaft radius is also visualized, but there is also bowing of the ulna that is more appreciated on the lateral radiograph view. Forearm fractures are common in pediatric populations, likely due to the intrinsic elasticity and uniquely thinner cortex as compared to adult bones [1]. Radiographically, bowing fractures may show visible bending on radiographic imaging, however, as in this case if the bending occurs within the same plane of the radiograph, there may be no visible deformities on radiographic imaging [2]. Unlike other fractures, plastic bowing fractures do not produce a characteristic fracture line, but rather can produce subtle angular changes that appear as “bending” of the bone [3]. Additionally, in contrast to other fractures, the subsequent healing process for a bowing fracture does not involve a periosteal reaction [4]. As seen in this patient, bowing fractures can also be associated with a conventional fracture in the paired bone. The fracture often manifests in children who present with localized symptoms of pain and swelling after falls on an outstretched hand, and in many cases, the child is playing or participating in common childhood activities like climbing monkey bars or jumping. Plastic bowing fractures most commonly occur in the forearm, but may also be found in the clavicle, fibula, and other long bones. The mechanism of injury often entails an angulated force on the bone producing longitudinal compression, that exceeds the intrinsic elasticity of the bone [4] . Most fractures that disrupt the cortical makeup of a bone exceed intrinsic plasticity, which produces classical fractures [4]. However, due to the natural growth patterns of the bone in pediatric populations, the response of the bone to a force exceeding the elastic injury is a response of bowing, which occurs proportionally to the force [4]. Microscopically, there are microfractures occurring along the bowing edge of the bone, but this is often not appreciated on the radiograph [3]. The bowing often appears fluid-like. Intervention is often not required in most cases, unless when angulation is measured to more than 10 degrees or in children older than 10 years [5, 6]. The decision for reduction may be a dilemma for clinicians, as increased angulation and older age of children may be associated with long-term osteoarthritis [7]. Other differentials that may be considered are buckle fractures, physiological bowing, stress fractures, and greenstick fractures. Due to the subtle presentations of these fractures on radiographs, clinicians need to maintain a high index of suspicion for these injuries in susceptible pediatric populations. ​​​​ References: Kalkwarf HJ, Laor T, Bean JA.

10 year old with right eye pain • Xray of the Week Name the condition and clinical significance. Figure 1. Axial CT scan of the orbits. Figure 2. Axial CT scan of the orbits. A: Punctate calcification at the right optic nerve head junction (red arrow) and normal left optic nerve head junction (green arrow).B: Magnified view of the right orbit showing punctate calcification at the right optic nerve head junction (red arrow). Discussion: Introduction: Optic nerve drusen are abnormal collections of mucoprotein matrix, acid mucopolysccharides, and ribonucleic acids that accumulate within the optic nerve, on the surface of the optic disc, and in the peripapillary retina [1]. Drusen are initially “buried” within these locations but become more visible as they calcify and nerve fibers atrophy [1]. They occur in 0.4% of children and become visible at 12 years of age, on average [1]. A correct diagnosis of optic nerve drusen is important because this condition can be easily misdiagnosed as papilledema, which leads to unnecessary imaging and procedures such as lumbar punctures [1]. Pathogenesis: There are three theories on the formation of optic nerve drusen. One theory is that a disturbance in axonal metabolism results in reduced axoplasmic flow [1]. Another theory is that congenitally dysplastic discs have a predisposition towards drusen formation [1]. Finally, it is possible that a small scleral canal compresses the optic nerve, leading to ganglion cell death with calcification of mitochondria [1]. Presentation: Although the majority of optic nerve drusen are asymptomatic, children with symptomatic optic nerve drusen can present with headache, vomiting, or seizures [1]. Optic nerve drusen can also cause visual field defects, especially if they are superficial rather than buried. Visual field constriction is also seen in 50% of eyes with superficial drusen, but only 17% of eyes with buried drusen [1]. The most common visual field defect is a nasal inferior arcuate scotoma, making up about a third of all visual field defects associated with optic nerve drusen [1]. On ophthalmologic exam, patients can have an afferent pupillary defect if the optic nerve drusen are asymmetric or unilateral [2]. Complications: If left untreated, optic nerve drusen can lead to a variety of complications, the most important of which is blindness. Optic nerve drusen can rarely lead to retinal vascular abnormalities that lead to anterior ischemic optic neuropathy and eventual vision loss [4]. Figure 3. CT scan of the orbits. A: Sagittal oblique view of the right orbit showing the punctate calcification at the optic nerve head junction (red arrow). B: Sagittal oblique view of the left orbit showing the normal optic nerve head junction (green arrow). Diagnosis: Superficial optic nerve drusen can be seen on fundoscopic exam as an elevated, nodular optic disc with blurred margins [3]. The drusen appear as multiple whitish-yellow granules and are often bilateral [2]. Buried optic nerve drusen are more difficult to appreciate but can be seen adjacent to vessels or the optic disc margin. Besides a fundoscopic exam, imaging modalities such as ultrasound, CT scan, or fluorescein angiography can assist in diagnosing optic nerve drusen. Figure 4. Ultrasound of the right globe in a different patient, a 57 year old female with right orbital pain. An optic nerve drusen is seen as a hyperechoic nodule (yellow arrow) with posterior acoustic shadowing (blue arrow). Ultrasonography is superior to other methods for detecting superficial drusen and can identify around 50% of buried drusen due its sensitivity to calcium deposits buried deeply in the optic tissue [2,4]. On ultrasound, the drusen generally appear hyperechoic with posterior shadowing [2] (Fig. 4). They are commonly located on the nasal side of the optic disc [2]. Although CT scan can miss smaller drusen, it is still capable of detecting calcified optic nerve drusen [1]. In this example, a right optic nerve drusen was discovered on CT scan of the orbits as seen in Figures 1-3. Treatment: Currently, there are no effective treatments for optic nerve drusen. If the patient is asymptomatic, they can be observed with serial visual field testing [3]. If visual field defects occur and start to progress, patients can be treated with topical ocular hypotensive therapy. Surgical treatment options include optic nerve sheath fenestration or radial optic neurotomy. Neither are considered the standard of care, but there have been reports of successful treatment [3]. ​​​​ References: Chang MY, Pineles SL. Optic disk drusen in children.
