La sinusite nel bambino: come riconoscerla e quando preoccuparsi
- Caiffa G, Grasso DL, Orzan E, Barbi E, Giuntoli DG.
- Sinusitis is an inflammatory condition that impairs mucociliary function in the nose and paranasal sinuses. In the paediatric population, it typically presents with nasal obstruction or congestion, rhinorrhoea, facial pain or pressure and cough. The diagnosis is primarily clinical, and radiological investigations should be reserved for complicated cases. Treatment is generally indicated only for moderate to severe forms and usually consists of topical corticosteroids and/or antibiotics. Complications occur in approximately 1 out of 12,000 cases of acute rhinosinusitis. Orbital complications are the most common, followed by intracranial involvement, whereas nasal complications are extremely rare.

Riconoscere, condividere, prevenire: gli errori in Pediatria
- Marin M, Bravin F, Pontrandolfo M, et al.
- Paediatric patient safety is a clinical priority, although research specifically focused on developmental age remains fragmented. This article analyses medical error - defined as the failure of a planned action or the adoption of an inadequate plan - through the examination of five clinical cases. The analysis reveals how cognitive biases, ineffective communication, the underestimation of parental concerns and the fragmentation of responsibility are critical determinants in the diagnostic-therapeutic process. This work emphasises that, alongside technical competence, it is essential to promote an organisational culture based on a critical analysis and a multidisciplinary approach. The sharing of adverse experiences emerges as a fundamental tool for reducing the recurrence of errors and ensuring excellence in paediatric care.

Encefaliti a confronto
- Buffon S, Bloise S, Ricciardelli P, Failla M, Troisi A, Radice C, Cenni P, Marchetti F.
- This article provides a practical and clinical overview of the complex differential diagnosis between post-infectious and autoimmune encephalitis in paediatric patients. Through the presentation and comparison of four clinical cases, the text highlights how apparently similar symptoms may conceal entirely different underlying causes, and therefore they require specific and timely therapeutic approaches.

La splenomegalia
- M. Rabusin, F. Patarino
- The spleen in infants and children is involved in a wide variety of pathological conditions. Splenic disorders may be isolated like splenic cysts or, more frequently, due to multiorgan or systemic disease including hepatic diseases, malignancy, hemoglobinopathy, infectious diseases and storage diseases. The Authors review the role of the laboratory test, the ultrasonography and the peripheral blood smear in orienting the differential diagnosis. Invasive procedure as bone marrow aspiration, lymph node biopsy, hepatic biopsy or fine needle splenic biopsy are often warranted to estabilish the cause of splenomegaly.
