Biliary atresia (BA) is a progressive neonatal bile duct disease treated with the Kasai procedure; however, complications may necessitate liver transplantation. We report rare case of simultaneous hepatic artery and portal vein thrombosis in term infant after surgery, leading to acute failure urgent Rapid deterioration metabolic acidosis, hypovolemic shock, coagulopathy suggested "liver infarction," confirmed by imaging, while thrombolysis failed restore full viability. This highlights...
Enteric duplication cysts (EDCs) are rare congenital anomalies that can occur along any part of the gastrointestinal tract, with multiple being exceptionally uncommon. We present case a five-month-old infant prenatally diagnosed EDCs, including pedunculated cyst and large tubular near ileocecal valve. The remained asymptomatic, elective surgical resection was performed. Histopathology confirmed diagnosis, revealing distinct structural features chronic inflammatory changes. This highlights...
The prostatic utricle, also known as the utricle of prostate or Müllerian duct cyst, is a small blind-ended tubular structure found within gland some males. In this work, we report case 15-month-old boy, with history recurrent epididymitis, presenting new-onset left scrotal swelling and pain. On cystourethrogram, patient had an enlarged (EPU). A successful minimally invasive (laparoscopic) approach for total excision cyst was performed, while injury vas deferens avoided. Identification...
Internal hernias in preterm neonates, although rare, can arise due to various anatomical and physiological factors associated with prematurity. We report a case of infant symptoms suspected necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) that turned out be an internal hernia during surgical exploration. Given the overlapping symptoms, it is crucial maintain high index suspicion utilize appropriate imaging techniques, such as ultrasound or radiographic studies, aid differentiation between NEC hernia,...
The standard treatment procedures for managing renal calculi in the pediatric population are similar to those adults. application of flexible ureteroscopy has contributed increased popularity retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) as an alternative therapeutic modality that can be successfully applied children. One most significant innovations last decade is introduction single-use ureteroscopes (fURSs). In this case report, we present a 2-year-old boy with multiple large his right kidney,...
Lymphatic malformation is a rare vascular anomaly caused by abnormal lymphatic system development during embryogenesis. Intra-abdominal malformations are uncommon in children, and surgical excision considered the gold standard for treatment. However, few reports of minimally invasive laparoscopic approaches have been documented. This case report presents six-month-old infant with large intra-abdominal cystic lymphangioma, diagnosed prenatally treated laparoscopically. The lesion was excised...
Juvenile granulosa cell tumors (JGCTs), a rare type of ovarian tumor, are predominantly seen in premenarchal girls. We report case 4.5-year-old girl with precocious puberty and left JGCT, confirmed through imaging histopathology. The patient underwent fertility-sparing unilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, no recurrence was observed after one year follow-up. Surgery is the mainstay treatment for early-stage JGCTs, role adjuvant chemotherapy advanced cases remains unclear. This underscores...
Morgagni hernia (MH), also known as a retrosternal or parasternal hernia, is rare type of congenital diaphragmatic (CDH) characterized by defect in the anterior diaphragm. Patients with late-diagnosed MH typically present vague gastrointestinal respiratory symptoms. In some instances, incidentally identified through chest X-rays performed for other reasons, such foreign body ingestion, illustrated our presented case. We case delayed two-year-old boy history ingestion and severe abdominal...
Jordan was the first who described persistent müllerian duct syndrome (PMDS) associated with transverse testicular ectopia (TTE) in 1895 [1].The clinical presentation is a unilateral undescended testis from birth and an inguinal hernia on contralateral hemiscrotum.We present case of newborn male, history bilateral cryptorchidism, presenting recent swelling left region.On examination neonate had empty right hemiscrotum.An approach revealed sac containing female-resembling gonads by...
