Tachyarrhythmia --> Supraventricular tachycardia
What can prlonged SVT lead too and what is the first-line treatment
Heart failure, hepatomegaly, and respiratory compromise

Rx: Stimulate the vagus nerve using carotid massage immersion of face in cold water, or voluntary straining --> if unsuccessful IV adenosine
Quadruple rhythm associated with the murmur of tricuspid regurgitation & a middiastolic murmur at LLSB, presence of RAH & RV conduction defects suggest
Ebstein anomaly (downward displacement of the tricuspid valve
Condition that frequently causes spindle-shaped swelling of finger joints and can involve unusual joints (i.e. Sternoclavicular joint), can be associated w/ spiking high fevers and diffuse rash
JRA (or Still disease)
CHD where pts typically have a hypoplastic RV, ECG shows left-axis deviation & LVH --> LV impulse on PE
Tricuspid atresia
CHD that presents w/ early cyanosis, normal-sized heart, normal or slightly inc pulm vascular markings, ECG showing right-axis deviation and RVH
Transposition of the great vessels
Cyanotic infants who do not improve their saturation with supplement O2 should be evaluated for?
Ductal-dependent cyanotic congenital heart lesion
- Pulmonary atresia w/o corresponding VSD
- Transposition of the great vessels w/o a septal defect
Syndrome diagnosed as a newborn w/ profound thrombocytopenia, bilateral absence of radius, and abnormally shaped thumbs. Cardiac lesions include TOF and ASD
Thrombocytopenia Absent Radius syndrome (TAR)
Cardiac defect in children, usually first causing syncoal episodes in late childhood or adolescence
Prolonged QT syndrome
Life-threatening sequeale of viral laryngotrachceobronchitis, w/ Hx of several days of viral URI Sx followed by acute elevation of temp & inc in respiratory distress.
Dx and managment
Dx: Bacterial Tracheitis
Rx: Intubation (secretions can be thick & copious enough to occlude the airway) and IV ABX
In general, a "cold" lasting longer than 10-14 days with fever and facial pain is indicative of?
Sinusitis
Treatment for Croup
Usually a single dose of steroids
- Racemic epinephrine and corticosteroids
Treatment for Bronchiolitis
Supportive, observation for hypoxia and dehydration alone
Treatment for mycoplasma pneumoniae
MAcrolide
Syndrome with traid of situs inversus, chronic sinusitus & otitis media, and airway disease
Kartagener syndrome
A child presenting who has a subacute disorder of the CNS that produces cranial nerve abnormalities (esp of CN VII & lower bulbar nervers), long tract signs, unsteady gait secondary to spasticity, & some behavioral changes is most likely to have?
Pontine Glioma
Type of tumor that can produce upper motor neuron signs, with ataxia as the gait disturbance, Dysmetria and nystagmus
Tumors of the cerebellar hemisphere
Presenting signs HA, vomiting, and on PE finding of papilledema
Supratentorial tumors
These pts have insidous behavior change, deterioration of schoolwork and finally demention. No other findings are usually seen
SSPE
Findings of poor growth, diabetes insipidus, and papilledema, upward growth of tuman results in compression of the optic chiasm, suprasellar calcifications sometimes seen
Craniopharyngioma (supratentoria tumor)
Type of brain tumors predominating in the 1st year of life
Supratentorial
- Choroid plexus tumors
- Teratomas
Type of brain tumors predominating in children 1 to 10 years old
Intratentorial (posterior fossa) and include cerebellar and brainstem tumors
- Medulloblastoma
-- Cerebella astrocytoma
Type of brain tumors predominating in children n over 10 years old
Supratentorial tumors
- Diffuse astrocytoma
Disorder presenting in older children as acroparesthesia (mumbness or tingling in one or more extremities), intermittent painful crises of the abdomen, low-grade fevers, and sometimes cataracts
Fabry disease (reduce alpha-galactosidase)
Child with unilateral facial lesion & blindness suggests
Sturge-Weber or PHACE syndrome
- Posterior fossa malformations
- Hemangiomas
- Arterial anomalies
- Coarctations of the aorta and other cardiac defects
- Eye abnormalities
These pts can have seizures, hemiparesis, intracranial calcifications and MR
Syndrome with large, irregular, usually unilateral cafe au lait spots and fibrous dysplasia of bones in association with precocious puberty in girls
McCune-Albright syndrome
