In conclusion, paragangliomas are rare with multicentricity being more common in patients with familial history. The malignant potential of the tumor is determined by metastasis as there are no characteristic cellular change. Aggressive surgery is mandatory to obtain disease free survival with low morbidity and mortality. Recurrences can also be successfully operated with low morbidity.

A trial of PPIs may be cost-effective prior to considering LC in these patients since four of ten children experienced a complete response to PPIs without the requirement of LC, compared with four of nine children who improved completely.

In our population, the Broselow tape is an ineffective tool to predict weight in more than 50% of pediatric trauma patients. This may lead to the underdosing of emergency medications and blood products.

Infants born with gastroschisis in association with intestinal atresia are well described. We are the proposing the classification of vanishing gastroschisis. In this series of six cases, at one end of the spectrum is an infant having gastroschisis with a much narrower defect on the right side of umbilicus. The ischemic bowel loops were connected to bowel inside the abdomen by a fibrous band compressing the exposed bowel mesentery. On the other end of spectrum, an infant having extensive bowel atresia and complete closure of abdominal wall defect (gastroschisis) detected on antenatal ultrasound. These cases should raise awareness of this devastating complication in prenatal management of gastroschisis.
