ObjectiveTo determine the value of anterior displacement of the abdominal aorta, when present at any level or only at the level of the adrenal gland, contralateral to the mass, in diagnosing neuroblastoma on computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging in children up to 7 years of age.Materials and MethodsImaging examinations of 66 patients were classified by consensus as for the presence of anterior aorta displacement and were compared with the pathology report.ResultsWe found anterior abdominal aorta displacement in 26 (39.39%) of the 66 patients evaluated. Among those 26 patients, we identified neuroblastoma in 22 (84.62%), nephroblastoma in 3 (11.54%), and Burkitt lymphoma in 1 (3.85%). The positive predictive value was 84.62%, and the specificity was 88.24%. The displacement of the aorta was at the adrenal level, contralateral to the mass, in 14 cases, all of which were attributed to neuroblastoma.ConclusionWhen the abdominal aorta is displaced at the level of the adrenal gland, contralateral to the mass, it can be said that the diagnosis is neuroblastoma, whereas abdominal aorta displacement occurring at other abdominal levels has a positive predictive value for neuroblastoma of approximately 85%.

“…Lipoid pneumonia is not related to anatomical or functional anomalies ( 13 , 15 ) . Aspiration occurs because of the use of mineral oil in the treatment of intestinal constipation ( Figure 8 ) or as an adjuvant in cases of intestinal subocclusion caused by Ascaris lumbricoides ( 4 ) . The oil inhibits the cough reflex and ciliary motion, and silently reaches the alveoli.…”
