Methicillin-resistant -associated empyema necessitans in a child: A case report and a literature review.

Introduction: Empyema is a known complication of severe pleuropneumonia. In rare cases, if poorly treated, it could result in dissemination and fistulization and transformation into empyema necessitans. The manifestation may appear as a superficial abscess.

Acute peritonitis secondary to post-traumatic appendicitis: A case report and literature review.

Background: Blunt abdominal trauma has rarely been reported as a cause of acute appendicitis in the literature. However, the coexistence of the two conditions can cause issues for the patient. We present here a systematic review of cases of traumatic appendicitis as well as our own experience with a 12-year-old male patient.

Laparoscopic assisted dismembered pyeloplasty versus open pyeloplasty in UPJO with poorly function kidney in pediatrics.

Background: The management of UPJO with poor function kidney, less than 10%, has been the subject of debate for more than a decade. Some authors have recommended nephrectomy, while others favor renal salvage (pyeloplasty). We report our experience with laparoscopic assisted pyeloplasty in pediatric patients with poorly functioning kidneys in comparison with an open approach.

Predictive Factors of Liver Hydatid Cyst Recurrence in Children.

Background: Liver hydatid cyst affects approximately 95% of the world's echinococcosis cases. Despite advances in treatment, the recurrence rate remains high and is influenced by several factors that are yet to be determined. The objective of this study was to identify the predictive factors of liver hydatid cyst recurrence following surgery in children and to establish a treatment regimen aimed at preventing this postoperative morbidity.

Urachal rhabdomyosarcoma: A case report of an extremely rare localisation.

Urachus is a tubular structure connecting the allatois to the bladder's apex, in the embryonic development. We report a rare case of a 5-year-old boy, with no past medical history, complaining of secondary enuresis, pollakiuria and urgent incontinence. Physical exam revealed a hypogastric mass.

Thoraco-abdominal duplications in children: Two case reports.

Introduction: Thoraco-abdominal duplication is rare congenital malformations of the notochord that occurs in only 2% of cases of alimentary tract duplications. We report two rare cases of thoraco-abdominal duplication, emphasizing the value of radiological assessment and discussing the place of diagnostic and therapeutic laparoscopy.

Presentation Of Case: It was a 12-year-old girl and an 8-month-old boy, admitted for epigastralgia and dysphagia with respiratory distress respectively.
