Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease mimicking malignant lymphoma with 2-[18F]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose PET/CT in children
Ji Eun Kim, Eun Kyung Lee, Jae Min Lee, Soon Hwan Bae, Kwang Hae Choi, Young Hwan Lee, Jeong Ok Hah, Joon Hyuk Choi, Eun Jung Kong, Ihn Ho Cho
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2014;57(5):226-231.   Published online May 31, 2014
Purpose

Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (KFD) is a benign disease, which is characterized by a cervical lymphadenopathy with fever, and it often mimics malignant lymphoma (ML). 2-[18F]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) is a powerful imaging modality for the diagnosis, staging and monitoring of ML, with the limitations including the nonspecific FDG uptake in infectious or inflammatory processes. This study compared clinical...

Clin Exp Pediatr. 2007;50(7):694-697.   Published online July 15, 2007
Paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia (PKD), previously referred to as movement-provoked seizures, is a rare neurological condition that is characterized by short duration dystonic or choreoathetotic movements precipitated by sudden movement, a change in position or hyperventilation. It can be difficult to distinguish this syndrome from seizures. We reported on three brothers in one family all of whom developed abnormal involuntary dystonic...
A case of congenital ductus arteriosus aneurysm
Sheng Wen Wang, Ji Eun Kim, Young Seok Lee, Young Ah Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2006;49(12):1363-1366.   Published online December 15, 2006
Aneurysmal dilatation of the ductus arteriosis has been considered a rare but potentially fatal abnormality. The mechanism of ductal aneurysmal formation remains uncertain. Plain chest radiography has proven helpful in the diagnosis of ductus arteriosus aneurysm (DAA), before the application of transthoracic echocardiography. The transthoracic echocardiography is an important tool for the diagnosis and follow-up of DAA. We present a...

Clin Exp Pediatr. 2001;44(6):627-634.   Published online June 15, 2001
Purpose : It is very important to study the individual risk factors which cause periventricular leukomalacia(PVL) and those which affect the process of cystic formation from liquefied periventricular white matter, in order to prevent and permit early diagnosis of cystic PVL that contributes to mortality and neurologic sequelaes in preterm infants. Therefore, the present study was designed to assess the...
