Factors Associated with Postoperative Complications After Congenital Duodenal Obstruction Surgery: A Retrospective Study.

Duodenal atresia and stenosis are common causes of intestinal obstruction. Associated anomalies significantly influence early postoperative mortality, while postoperative complications impact long-term survival. Over a 13-year period from January 2010 to August 2023, a total of 74 infants and children with congenital duodenal obstruction were treated at "Grigore Alexandrescu" Children's Emergency Hospital and met the inclusion criteria.

From Severe Anemia to Intestinal Hemangiomatosis, a Bumpy Road-A Case Report and Literature Review.

Gastrointestinal hemangiomas (GIH) are unusual vascular tumors found anywhere alongside the GI tract, the small bowel being the most common site. Diagnosis requires good clinical insight and modern imaging. This is a comprehensive review of the literature, starting from a new pediatric case diagnosed through exploratory laparotomy after complex imaging techniques failed.

Predictors of Complicated Appendicitis with Evolution to Appendicular Peritonitis in Pediatric Patients.

Appendicitis is one of the most frequent surgical emergencies in pediatric surgery. Complicated appendicitis can evolve with appendicular peritonitis characterized by the diffusion of the pathological process to the peritoneal cavity, thus producing generalized or localized inflammation of the peritoneum. The capacity to anticipate the possibility of perforation in acute appendicitis can direct prompt management and lower morbidity.

The Management of Pediatric Acute Appendicitis-Survey among Pediatric Surgeons in Romania.

: To assess the current practice pattern in the management of pediatric acute appendicitis in Romania. A questionnaire was emailed to all the members of the Romanian Society of Pediatric Surgery between June-July 2022. : 118 answers were received, 79.

Role of Ultrasonography in the Diagnosis of Wilms' Tumour.

Background: Wilms' tumour or nephroblastoma is the most common renal malignancy encountered in the paediatric population. Imaging findings are of great importance to the surgeon, the oncologist and the radiologist in the diagnosis and the staging and surveillance of this tumour.

Material And Methods: This study was carried out as a 10-year retrospective study of patients who were diagnosed with Wilms' tumour.

Prediction of histopathological local staging by radiological findings and differential diagnosis overview in children with nephroblastoma.

Background: Nephroblastoma is the most common renal malignancy in children kidney. They are highly heterogeneous tumors with challenging imagistic and histopathological (HP) differential diagnosis. Imaging is critical for understanding local anatomy, staging and for planning surgical approach.

Our Experience with Cyst Excision and Hepaticoenterostomy for Choledocal Cyst: A Single Center Case Review of 16 Patients.

: Choledocal cyst is a rare congenital disease of the biliary tree defined by dilatation of the extrahepatic and/or intrahepatic biliary ducts. Untreated, it leads to complications such as cholangitis, stone formation and malignant degeneration. The standard treatment for choledocal cyst is complete excision and subsequent biliary reconstruction via hepaticojejunostomy or hepatiocoduodenostomy.

Fetal Pancreatic Hamartoma Associated with Hepatoblastoma-An Unusual Tumor Association.

Abdominal tumor masses are a very rare disease in the fetus. The authors present the first reported case of neonatal multicystic adenomatoid hamartoma of the pancreas associated with well-differentiated fetal epithelial subtype hepatoblastoma and reveal clinical, histologic, and imagistic aspects. Case presentation: A 36-week-old female newborn in whom a 25-week ultrasound showed a relatively homogeneous pancreatic echogenic mass (34 × 30 × 55 mm) with compression of the inferior vena cava and retrograde dilation.

Hypertriglyceridemia Induced Acute Pancreatitis Caused by a Novel LIPC Gene Variant in a Pediatric Patient.

Hypertriglyceridemia induced acute pancreatitis is a rare cause of pancreatitis in children. Hepatic lipase deficiency is an extremely rare cause of hypertriglyceridemia, reported in only a few families to date. Hepatic lipase is the enzyme involved in the hydrolysis of triglycerides and phospholipids in remnants of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins that have a role in the conversion of very low density lipoprotein remnants to low density lipoproteins.

Segmental aganglionosis in Hirschsprung's disease in newborns - a case report.

Segmental aganglionosis Hirschsprung's is an extremely rare condition. Described as a segment of normally ganglionated bowel surrounded proximally and distally by aganglionosis, zonal aganglionosis is of interest because it may cause confusion in interpreting surgical margins. Diagnosis of segmental lesions in Hirschsprung's disease may be missed as it is rarely suspected at initial surgery.
