Various forms including plaque, ulcerative, hypertrophic, vegetative, papular, and nodular forms have been described. We are reporting a case of a young female, who presented with 6 well defined erythematous scaly plaques involving both arms and a puckered scar on right forearm and right breast.

Quantified outcome for patients with bladder exstrophy.

Aim: Outcomes of bladder exstrophy patients were studied in numerical terms using scoring systems for continence and health-related quality of life (HRQOL), along with renal function, in short-term follow up.

Patients And Methods: Patients who had undergone bladder-preserving exstrophy repairs, either staged or as a single procedure, and those who had been managed by bowel augmentation were included. Continence was assessed according to five variables (max.

Transanal Swenson's operation for recto-sigmoid Hirschsprung's disease.

Background: Transanal Swenson's operation is a relatively new single-stage procedure for Hirschsprung's disease. The results of this procedure at our centre are presented.

Patients And Methods: Seventeen patients of recto-sigmoid Hirschsprung's disease underwent single-stage transanal Swenson's procedure.

Management of esophageal atresia with a tracheoesophageal fistula complicated by gastric perforation.

Purpose: Gastric perforations generally develop in neonates with esophageal atresia (EA) and a tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF), requiring preoperative mechanical ventilation. To the best of our knowledge, spontaneous gastric perforation in patients who have not been treated with mechanical ventilation has not been described in the literature. There is also no current consensus or treatment protocol available for the management of these patients.

Tracheobronchial Foreign Body Aspirations: Lessons Learned From a 10-year Audit.

Background: Foreign body aspirations (FBA) in the tracheobronchial tree must be suspected in children who present with a witnessed history of choking or respiratory distress of sudden onset and asymmetric breath sounds, even in the absence of pathognomonic radiographic findings. This study reviews our experience with a variety of FBA and outlines the salient differences in the literature.

Methods: One hundred eighty-four consecutive children with a history suggestive of FBA undergoing bronchoscopy over a period of 10 years were reviewed.
