Review the complications that may arise in adults from therapy and long-term survival of pediatric diseases. Describe the spectrum of radiological findings, with an emphasis in MRI and CT.

Therapeutic advances in the treatment of a wide range of pediatric diseases have improved the prognosis of life. The rate of long-term survival of these patients, which may be almost normal, has also increased the risk of developing other complications of their underling disease or long-term complications related to treatment. It can be a challenge for radiologist identify them for not being aware. We illustrate these “new faces of disease” with examples of emerging complications of diseases secondary to survival rate improvement (Cystic fibrosis and Distal intestinal obstruction syndrome) or long-term complications related to the treatment that the no pediatric radiologist is not aware (Repaired congenital heart disease and liver cirrhosis and/or tumors, Radiotheraphy or grow-hormone replacemet and vascular diseases, Radiotheraphy or inmunosupressor treatments and secondary neoplasm). In conclusion, radiologists should be familiar with the long-term consequences of therapy or unusual presentation of some diseases because the long-term prospects of survival associated with these diseases.
