Traumatic Renal Artery Occlusion in Children: A Case Report.

Blunt trauma is a major cause of death in children, with renal arterial injuries occurring in less than 1% of cases. Traumatic renal artery occlusion (RAO) in children is rare and results in the loss of ipsilateral renal perfusion. Clinical signs are often nonspecific, and there is a lack of information on the exact incidence and management outcomes of these rare cases in children.

Hydatid cyst of the humerus presenting as a suspicious lesion: A rare case report and review of literature.

Hydatidosis is a parasitic disease caused by the tapeworm Echinococcus. Echinococcus Granulosus is the most common cause of hydatid disease in humans. Bone involvement is rare, accounting for only 0.

Amyand's hernia in a 3-month-old infant: A case report.

Amyand's hernia is a rare condition characterized by an inguinal hernia containing the appendix, which can lead to complications. It is more common in children and it can be challenging to diagnose due to its location, often being mistaken for other conditions like strangulated hernias, orchitis-epididymitis, or testicular torsion. Imaging, including computed tomography and sonography, plays an important role in diagnosis, which is usually made intraoperatively.

[Bean's syndrome in children: about two cases].

Diffuse angiomatosis or Bean's syndrome is a rare disease characterized by venous malformations mainly involving the skin and the digestive tract which can result in hemorrhage of variable severity. This study reports the case of two children aged 5 and 9 and a half years respectively with diffuse angiomatosis who had been treated in the Department of Emergency Paediatric Surgery over the years. The diagnosis was based on rectal bleeding and/or melenas causing severe anemia requiring regular transfusions in both patients as well as skin angiomas occurrence at the level of the limbs.

Primary hydatid cyst of the pancreas of the child: a case report.

Primary pancreatic hydatid lesions are very rare with an incidence of less than 1% in the adult population. We report an observation of a 5-year-old girl who consulted for isolated abdominal pain occurring for 2 weeks without vomiting, transit disorders or jaundice and evolving in a context of conservation of the general condition and apyrexia. Clinical examination and preoperative imaging have suggested the diagnosis of a choledochal cyst or duodenal duplication rather than a hydatid cyst of the pancreas due to the presence of a cystic hepatic image projecting into the liver hilum.

Closed reduction of a traumatic hip dislocation in children: case report.

Traumatic dislocation of the hip in children is a rare disease. It only represents 5% of hip dislocations in all age groups. Before 10 years, the mechanism is often a minimal domestic accident; after 10 years, the dislocation occurs with the waning of an accident of the public highway.

A novel mutation in the endothelin B receptor gene in a moroccan family with shah-waardenburg syndrome.

Waardenburg syndrome (WS) is a neurocristopathy disorder combining sensorineural deafness and pigmentary abnormalities. The presence of additional signs defines the 4 subtypes. WS type IV, also called Shah-Waardenburg syndrome (SWS), is characterized by the association with congenital aganglionic megacolon (Hirschsprung disease).

[False traumatic aneurysm of the ulnar artery in a teenager].

Most aneurysms of hand arteries are traumatic. It is a generally rare unrecognized pathology. Complications are serious (embolism and thromboses of interdigital arteries).

[Axillary artery pseudo-aneurysm secondary to shoulder dislocation in children].

Axillary artery injury following anterior dislocation of the shoulder in children is a rare complication often considered as iatrogenic. We report the case of a pseudo-aneurysm of the axillary artery in a 5-year-old boy that appeared four months after a shoulder dislocation that was reduced in an ambulatory setting. Although this is an uncommon vascular complication, we emphasize the need for short-term and long-term follow-up in these children to avoid missing a pseudo-aneurysm of the axillary artery.

[Thymic hyperplasia following treatment for nephroblastoma].

Unlabelled: Thymic hyperplasia in response to stress is a well known phenomenon. Thymic hyperplasia has also been described after chemotherapeutic treatment for malignancies in children.

Case Report: A three-year-old girl was followed up from the age of 18 months for a left kidney nephroblastoma treated by combination of chemotherapy (vincristin, actinomycin and adriamycin) and surgery.

Rectal atresia.

Rectal atresia is a rare condition, with a reported incidence of 1-2% of all anorectal anomalies. The extensive list of ingenious operative procedures used for the correction of this malformation is testimony to the great difficulty faced in treating this anomaly. Posterior sagittal anorectoplasty using end-to-end anastomosis is a safe, technically well known that achieves this goal.

[Role of laparoscopy in intra-abdominal testes in children. 35 case reports].

The impalpable testicles account for approximately 10 to 20% of the total of the not descended testicles. The importance of laparoscopy is increasingly significant, because apart from its diagnostic role recently a therapeutic interest was added. Thirty-five nonpalpable testicles took advantage of laparoscopic exploration at the pediatric's emergency surgery ward at the children's hospital of Rabat within the last 2 years.

["Small left colon" syndrome (two case reports)].

Case Reports: Two newborns, one female and male were treated for neonatal bowel obstruction. A contrast enema led to the diagnosis of small left colon syndrome and treated those newborns successfully.

Conclusion: Small left colon syndrome is a very rare cause of neonatal bowel obstruction.

[Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation of the lung. Prenatal diagnosis in a case].

We report a case of congenital cystic adenomatoid lung malformation, type I in the Stocker classification, diagnosed at ultrasonography at 27 weeks gestation. The lesion stabilized as was the hydramnios. Vaginal delivery was uneventful.

Pseudocysts of the pancreas in children in Morocco.

Background/purpose: Five children with pancreatic pseudocyst were treated from 1986 to 1998, 4 of these pseudocysts have a traumatic origin. Medical therapy reduces the pancreatic stimulation and favors the resolution or the maturation of the pseudocyst.

Methods: First, all the children were treated with ultrasound-guided drainage.
