Clinico-Biochemical Profile of Children with Congenital Anomalies of the Kidney and Urinary Tract: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Background: Congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT) are a group of disorders responsible for the majority of pediatric end-stage renal disease cases. There are only a few studies on CAKUT.

Objectives: A study was conducted to determine the clinical and biochemical profile of children with CAKUT and to estimate the prevalence and the factors associated with hypertension in CAKUT.

Cecal duplication: A mimicker of intussusception: A case report and review.

Introduction: is a rare congenital anomaly and to the best of our knowledge, only 43 cases have been reported in the literature till date. Most of them present within the first year of life. They can mimic intussusception, and the delay in diagnosis can lead to high morbidity.

Definitive surgical management of antenatally diagnosed exomphalos.

Background/purpose: The management of exomphalos is controversial with many centers in the United Kingdom and elsewhere advocating a conservative nonsurgical approach for the larger examples. Nevertheless, this approach is not without problems or complication. The aim of the study was to ascertain the outcome of all infants with an antenatally diagnosed exomphalos treated recently at our institution using a policy of aggressive abdominal wall closure.

Colonic fistula complicating electric burns--a case report.

Intestinal fistula is an uncommon complication of electric burns. The authors report the case of an 11-year-old child who sustained accidental burns from a high-voltage electric current and was admitted to their hospital with full-thickness burns of both the upper limbs and deep burns of the anterior abdominal wall. Staged surgery was required, and the authors were involved in the management of the burn of the anterior abdominal wall.

Insular carcinoma of the thyroid in a 10-year-old child.

Thyroid carcinomas are relatively infrequent in the pediatric age group, the majority of which are papillary carcinomas. Poorly differentiated carcinomas are very rare in this age group. Insular carcinoma is a unique subset of poorly differentiated carcinoma of thyroid, which occurs predominantly in adults older than 50 years.
