Ulnar Hemimelia with Oilgodactyly: Report of Two Cases.

We present two sporadic cases of complete ulnar hemimelia, a rare congenital defect. In one case, ulnar hemimelia was associated with tridactyly and elbow malrotation with radiohumeral synostosis; in the second case, ulnar hemimelia was assciated with mono-metacarpal bidactyly and anterior cubital webbing of the elbow with fixed flexion. To the best of our knowledge, there is dearth of information on these combinations of anomalies in the literature and their management remains a challenge.

Giant neoplastic omental cyst masquerading as ascites: a case report.

Introduction: Cystic lesion of the omentum and mesentery are rare. The incidence of both cyst types has been variously reported to vary from 1/27,000-100,000 hospital admission. Omental cysts occur three to ten times less frequently than mesenteric cyst.

"Growing" meconium cyst in one of a discordant twin: a case report.

Introduction: Giant meconium cyst resulting from antenatal bowel perforation is rare and hardly reported in multiple gestations. We found only four documented cases in the electronic literature.

Case Presentation: We report a giant meconium cyst in an 11-hour-old Nigerian boy of a discordant twin having ultrasonographic and plain radiographic diagnosis and surgical confirmation.

Ureteric schistosomiasis with obstructive uropathy.

A 25-year-old male Nigerian undergraduate who had earlier been treated with praziquantel for schistosomal epidydymitis presented with clinical features of pyelonephritis, and radiological appearances of bilateral hydroureteronephrosis with fibrosis of lower ureters. Surgical resection of the ureters, Boari flap and Psoas hitch reconstruction were done. The histology of the resected ureters proved schistosomiasis.

Lipomatous lesions around the shoulder: Recent experience in a Nigerian hospital.

We present four cases of shoulder lipomas in two females and two males in their fourth to fifth decades of life. All four lipomas were big. Three were subcutaneous and one was intermuscular.

Orocervical foetus-in-foetu with prenatal sonographic diagnosis: a case report.

Introduction: Foetus-in-foetu is a very rare congenital abnormality where a malformed foetus is included within the body of another foetus. Less than 200 cases have been reported with over 80% occurring in the abdomen. Only three cases of cervical foetus in foetu have been reported.

Nonfluoroscopic pressure colostography in the evaluation of genitourinary fistula of anorectal malformations: experience in a resource-poor environment.

Background: Radiological imaging is paramount for defining the genitourinary fistulae commonly associated with anorectal malformations prior to definitive surgery. The imaging options are resource-limited in many parts of the world. Nonfluoroscopic pressure colostography after colostomy is a cheap method for the evaluation of anorectal malformations.

Prenatal third trimester sonographic behavior of a thanatophoric dwarfs.

Objectives: Thanatophoric dysplasia (TD), the most common of the congenital lethal skeletal dysplasias occurs sporadically in 1/64,000-100,000 live births. To the best of our knowledge, the in utero attitudes and behaviours of such babies with serial ultrasound scans have not been previously described. We present the in utero third trimester sonographic behaviors of TD in a 22-year-old primigravida diagnosed at '32weeks' gestational age along with the clinical and radiographic characteristics.
