Kyle is a 7-month-old boy who presents to the emergency department (ED) of a district general hospital in a coma. He has been somewhat lethargic in the past few days, has vomited several times and has gradually gotten worse. His parents could not rouse him and brought him straight to the ED. There is no past medical history of note, and no diseases run in the family. You have been asked to assess him.

100 Cases in Paediatrics presents 100 scenarios commonly seen in children by medical students and junior doctors in hospital and community settings. A succinct summary of the patient’s history, examination and any initial investigations is followed by questions on the diagnosis and management of each case. The answer includes a detailed discussion on each topic, providing an essential revision aid as well as a practical guide for students and resident doctors.
