The pediatrics category helps learners correctly diagnose and treat unusual presentations of congenital defects, pediatric cancers, consequences of antenatal exposures and more. Its 10-lesson online series covers the following topics:

  1. “A Perplexing Pediatric Parotid Mass.”

    1. A previously healthy 8-year-old boy presented to an outpatient clinic for further evaluation of a fluctuating right parotid mass that had been present for three years. What is your diagnosis?

  3. “Bilateral Panuveitis and Myeloradiculopathy in a 12-Year-Old Girl.”

    1. A 12-year-old girl presented for assessment of abnormal gait. A year prior, she was found to have bilateral panuveitis with occlusive retinal periphlebitis involving all quadrants of the central and peripheral retina with capillary nonperfusion. What is your diagnosis?

  4. “A Boy With Anterior Uveitis and Optic Disc Swelling.”
