Medical Treatment of Recurrent Intussusception Associated With Intestinal, Lymphoid Hyperplasia, http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/111/3/682.full.html, EXPERIENCE AND REASON–Briefly Recorded, Medical Treatment of Recurrent, Intussusception Associated With, Intestinal Lymphoid Hyperplasia, CASE REPORTS, Case 1, ABSTRACT. Intestinal lymphoid hyperplasia (ILH) is, an uncommon cause of recurrent intussusception in infants and young children. Surgical treatment has been, suggested in the management of this disorder. We report 2 cases in which recurrent intussusception, was associated with ILH. A short course of steroids resulted in resolution of both symptoms and hyperplasia. We conclude that when recurrent intussusception occurs in association with ILH, and no other lead point can, be identified, it is important that treatment with steroids, is considered before resorting to a more radical surgical, approach.

CONCLUSION, Toe Tourniquet Syndrome in, Association With Maternal Hair, Loss, Increased hair loss a few months after, delivering an infant is a common postpartum condition, known as telogen effluvium. A much less common condition involving young infants is the hair-thread tourniquet syndrome, or toe tourniquet syndrome, which involves hair or thread becoming so tightly wrapped, around an appendage that pain, injury, and sometimes, loss of the appendage result. This case report is the first, known description of the hair-thread tourniquet syndrome in association with maternal telogen effluvium. A, REFERENCES, literature review shows that accidental cases involving, human hair almost always involve the toes, and usually, occur at the age when mothers are experiencing excessive, hair loss. This association is significant in that anticipatory guidance of new parents experiencing rapid hair, loss may prevent cases of the toe tourniquet syndrome, and its associated morbidity.
