Abstract

Advanced imaging is critical for detecting complicated cases of airway compression due to PTB in young children, as vascular abnormalities are uncommon. Fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (F-18 FDG PET/CT) may show metabolically active intracardiac lesions. Individualised management plans are required for these children, and echocardiography is critical for patients with disseminated disease.
