Article Synopsis
- Colo-colonic intussusception is a rare condition in adults, often caused by a pathological lead point like malignant tumors, with benign lipomas being less common yet noteworthy.
- A case study highlights an asymptomatic 50-year-old woman who experienced intussusception linked to a giant colonic lipoma, where imaging suggested possible malignancy.
- Surgical intervention via laparoscopic right hemicolectomy was performed to address potential obstructions and confirm the diagnosis, ultimately revealing the lesion was benign, underscoring the importance of early surgical management to avoid complications.
Optimising the management of children with concomitant bladder dysfunction and behavioural disorders.
Eur Child Adolesc Psychiatry
October 2023
Bladder dysfunction and behavioural disorders in children are commonly concomitant; hence, it is difficult to treat each in isolation. Pharmacotherapy is common treatment for behavioural disorders, and these medications may have intended or unintended positive or negative bladder sequelae. This review identifies the literature regarding the effects of behavioural pharmacotherapy on bladder functioning and possible bladder management strategies in children with concomitant behaviour and bladder disorders to enable clinicians to better manage both conditions.

Methods: Prospective study of children (6-16 years) with bladder dysfunction and behavioral disorders was conducted between March 2018-2020. Eligible children were initially offered standard urotherapy and those with no response at 3 months were offered combination therapies.
Van der Woude syndrome (VWS) and popliteal pterygium syndrome (PPS) spectrum are due to genetic variants in the which phenotypically has been known to manifest with midline defects such as cleft lip and palate in VWS and additional nail, limb and genital anomalies in PPS. We report a case of VWS with the previously unrecognised phenotypic feature of hemiscrotal agenesis. While bifid scrotum has been reported in the more severe PPS, neither VWS nor PPS have previously noted hemiscrotal agenesis as part of the phenotypic picture.
