ALCAPA
  • The key to diagnosis of ALCAPA is the ECG.
  • ECG findings that should make you think of ALCAPA....1) Deep Q waves in lead I and aVL. 2) T wave inversion in I, aVL, V5,V6
  • ALCAPA is most common a cause of cardiac ischemia in children.
  • It has a 90% mortality rate in the 1st year if not surgically repaired. 


Pediatric Sinusitis
  • Must have >10 days of persistent cough, congestion or both, WITHOUT ANY IMPROVEMENT to diagnose acute bacterial sinusitis.
  • Have a high index of suspicion for CNS complications of sinusitis. Most common presenting complaints of fever and headache. 
  • Staph intermedius causes abscesses! If this bug is isolated...FIND the abscess.
