Splenogonadal fusion (SGF) is a rare congenital anomaly characterised by abnormal association between aberrant accessory splenic tissue and the gonads [1, 2]. In literature, almost 221 case reports described this condition [3] it most frequent in male on left side. There underestimation of SGF occurrence females because females' are inside body therefore less accessible for examination. This often found incidentally evaluation cryptorchidism, inguinal hernia, or testicular mass 3, 4]. The...
Ovarian neoplasms arising from the surface epithelium are rare in pediatric population; their knowledge is therefore limited and appropriate management poorly defined. We describe our experience suggest surgical approach to adolescents affected by voluminous ovarian masses. Two 15-year-old were admitted institution 2017 for multilobulated, fluid-filled masses measuring over 30 cm ovaries. The cystic component was drained intraoperatively with a spillage-free technique, consisting application...
Torsion of the hydatid Morgagni is a rare condition which can cause acute abdominal pain in young female. We present case report 13-year-old girl with and treated for torsion Morgagni. Less than 20 cases female younger 18 years old this are been described literature. Through our systematic review performed following PRISMA statement, we want to emphasize difficulty diagnosis importance considering pathology differential abdomen females aim obtaining timely surgical treatment preserve...
Congenital vaginal atresia is a rare anomaly of the female genital tract. Many vaginoplasty procedures have been described, but postoperative risk stenosis remains challenge. We report case isolated distal agenesis in patient with neurological impairment where use an "alternative" dilator was needed. An 11-year-old girl Down syndrome admitted to Emergency Department complaining pelvic pain. The clinical evaluation showed hard and painful mass associated imperforate hymen. Abdominal...
The term exstrophy-epispadias complex refers to a group of midline defects ranging from epispadias cloacal exstrophy. Bladder exstrophy is the most frequent malformation this spectrum and it can present as classical or variant form. We report case hybrid bladder having some characteristics both duplicate superior vesical fistula.
Background: Association between pulmonary sequestration and diaphragmatic hernia is well known. Extralobar sequestrations are masses of the non-functioning lung, surrounded by separate pleura, without bronchial communication, with a systemic arterial blood supply. They may be placed in thorax, within diaphragm, or rarely sub-diaphragmatic position. Case Series: We present three cases extra-lobar extra-thoracic associated different types defects. In none cases, defect was detected prenatally....
Introduction Duplex collecting system is a common congenital urinary anomaly and usually asymptomatic. Vascular variations associated with duplex are but haven’t been reported as obstructive.Case report 14-month-old female had right sided incomplete ureteral duplication complicated by lower pole hydroureteronephrosis due to distal obstruction an aberrant vessel crossing the bifid ureters at ureteric junction of these ureters. Prenatal imaging detected hydronephrosis. Magnetic resonance...
Introduction: Meckel's Diverticulum (MD) is the most common gastro-intestinal congenital malformation.The Rule of Two largely diffused to describe characteristics MD, but in a consistent number cases, clinic and histology do not fit into rules.The experience two referral centers reported. Methods:The includes: 2% prevalence, male/female ratio 2:1, <2 years age, location within 2 feet (60 cm) from Ileocecal Valve (ICV), inches' length (5 cm), types ectopic mucosa.Patients with MD admitted...
The caecum is one of the rarest sites intestinal duplication cysts. most common symptomatology includes vomiting, abdominal pain, distention, palpable mass and rectal bleeding. Most duplications are diagnosed within first two years life, including prenatal diagnosis. Only few cases caecal have been reported in literature up to present day. We going a case five-years old girl with who reached our ward due distension no other symptoms.
