Hot water epilepsy is a unique form of reflex epilepsy precipitated by the stimulus of bathing with hot water poured over the head. It is mostly seen in infants and children, with a predominance in males. Unlikely, we present a 32-year-old pregnancy woman with the incipient of reflex seizures triggered by pouring hot water over the head while having a bath during the gestation period and treated successfully with carbamazepine 400 mg/day therapy. Hot water epilepsy is known as a benign and self-limited reflex epilepsy, by firstly avoiding hot water or long showers and secondly using intermittent benzodiazepines or conventional antiepileptic drugs, may be sufficient to be seizure-free.

Background and Objectives: Vallecular cysts are rare and generally asymptomatic. In infants and children they present with stridor, feeding difficulties, failure to thrive. Treatment is surgical excision with cautery or laser.Presentation of Case: We discuss the clinical, radiological presentation of a 7 months old child with vallecular cyst which was surgically treated with deroofing and marsupialisation with elecrocautery. There was no recurrence even up 2 years of follow-up.Discussion: Flexible nasopharyngolaryngoscopic examination was done which showed present of swelling in the left vallecula pushing the epiglottis posteriorly and to the right with narrowed normal endolarynx. Radiological investigations with CT scan showed cystic lesion noted in left side of neck with no septation and solid component. The lesion was extending to ipsilateral vallecula and paraglottic region with narrowing of endolarynx.Conclusion: Vallecular cyst is rare cause of noisy breathing in infants and children. In adults it is usually asymptomatic. Treatment of choice is marsupialization with electrocautery or laser.

Hemangioma is an endothelial tumor that most commonly found in infants and children. Most hemangiomas arise during birth or shortly after birth and proliferate during the first 18 months and then disappear spontaneously at the age of 5-10 years. The most complaints of patients with a hemangioma are the psychosocial problems, which are conditions that can affect the appearance and invite the attention of people around them. Some hemangiomas still require therapy, namely if the size and growth result in severe deformities, or if it interferes with vital functions, such as breathing, vision, hearing and digestion. Therapy depends on the size, location, and clinical stage. In this paper, we report an enormous hemangioma case involving the lower lip in male patients aged 45 years who has acquired wide excision (Cheiloplasty reduction).

Acute Toxic

Syrup of ipecac is an important component in the treatment of acute toxic ingestion. The American Academy of Pediatrics1 recommends that syrup of ipecac be kept in the household to be used for the conscious patient in the treatment of toxic ingestion when advised by a physician. Syrup of ipecac is not without toxicity, however, and this increased availability opens the door to poisoning by ipecac itself. Toxicity has been observed in adults ranging from direct noxious effects on the gastrointestinal system2-4 to cardiomyopathy,2,5 generalized myopathy,6,7 and fatalities secondary to dehydration or electrolytic distubrances.8 Little is known about the signs and symptoms of ipecac toxicity in infants and children.

In Infants And Children

Vaginal bleeding is an uncommon problem in childhood. In infants and children, vaginal bleeding may result from the hormonal fluctuations of precocious puberty.1-4 However, many cases are related to local vaginal problems. We report a case of recurrent vaginal bleeding caused by infection with Shigella flexneri that was difficult to diagnose and treat. This patient was considered by her general pediatrician possibly to have precocious puberty because of her repeated episodes of bleeding. CASE REPORT The patient was a 2-year-old Peruvian girl who was suffering from severe nonbloody, nonpurulent diarrhea when she met her adoptive parents in July 1989. The diarrhea persisted for almost 2 months, and although stool cultures in Peru were unrevealing, she was treated with 10-day courses of both trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and metronidazole.
