Littre's Umbilical Hernia in a Child: A Case Report and Scoping Review.

Littre's umbilical hernia (UH) is a rare disease, the third most common Littre hernia. Most case reports interest adult patients. We reported the case of a four-year-old girl with anemia and symptomatic UH, with an incidentally diagnosed Meckel's diverticulum (MD) containing pancreatic ectopic tissue.

Factors associated with mortality in congenital malformations of the gastrointestinal tract in a tertiary center in Senegal.

Objective: Patients with congenital malformations (CMs) of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) have a very high mortality. However, the literature on the factors associated with mortality in these patients is scarce in sub-Saharan Africa. The aim of this study is to identify independent risk factors for mortality in patients with CMs of the GIT at our pediatric surgical department.

"Worm within worm": acute appendicitis containing an adult Ascaris lumbricoïdes.

Appendicitis is the first etiology for abdominal surgical emergency. Ascariasis is the most common helminth infection in tropical countries where it is endemic. The ability of intestinal helminths to wander through the digestive system means that it can end up in the appendix lumen and lead to appendicitis by luminal obstruction.

[Meckel's diverticulitis by ascaris in children: about a case].

We here report the case of a 4-year-old male child presenting with congenital umbilical bud that, recently, had begun to bleed. Physical examination showed pinkish umbilical bud with blood stains but without any fistula, measuring about 1,5 cm in diameter. Abdominal ultrasound was performed, which suggested urachal sinus.

Choledochal cyst in children in dakar: Diagnostic and therapeutic aspects.

Context: Choledochal cyst is a rare malformation that mainly affects girls.

Aims: The aim of this work is to report the diagnostic, therapeutic and evolutionary aspects of bile duct cyst in children in Dakar.

Subjects And Methods: we conducted a prospective monocentre descriptive study from 1 July, 2016, to 30 June, 2019, in the Pediatric Surgery Department of Albert Royer Children's Hospital in Dakar.

[Transanal evisceration of small bowel caused by impalement in children: about a case].

Transanal evisceration of the small intestine caused by impalement is exceptional among children. We report the case of an 11-year old girl with intestinal loops eviscerating through the anus due to a fall on a sharp piece of wood which stuck into her, occurring two hours before hospitalization. On examination, his general condition was good, with transanal evisceration of approximately 25 cm of viable small bowel through the anus and abdominal tenderness.

[Penile strangulation: about two patients living in rural areas].

Penile strangulation is a clinical condition requiring emergency management. Several metallic or non-metallic objects can be placed around the penis to improve sexual performance or for auto-erotic purposes. We report the case of two schizophrenic patients aged 25 and 33years hospitalized in the Emergency Department due to penile strangulation by metal ring.

Oesophageal atresia: Diagnosis and prognosis in Dakar, Senegal.

Background: Oesophageal atresia is a neonatal emergency surgery whose prognosis has improved significantly in industrialised countries in recent decades. In sub-Saharan Africa, this malformation is still responsible for a high morbidity and mortality. The objective of this study was to analyse the diagnostic difficulties and its impact on the prognosis of this malformation in our work environment.

Laparoscopic Appendectomy in Children: Preliminary Study in Pediatric Hospital Albert Royer, Dakar.

Appendiceal pathology's management has benefited in recent years from the advent of laparoscopic surgery. This study is to make a preliminary assessment of laparoscopic management of acute and complicated appendicitis in children after a few months of practice at the University Hospital Albert Royer, Dakar. This is a retrospective study of 22 cases of patients, all operated on by the same surgeon.
