A Rare Case of a Giant Choledochal Cyst in a Caribbean Infant.

Choledochal cysts are uncommon dilatations of the biliary tree. Giant choledochal cysts are those that exceed a maximum diameter of 10cm. Our case describes a female infant who presented to our paediatric surgery department with a three-day history of vomiting, abdominal distention, pale stool, and irritability.

Retrograde Intussusception and Giant Meckel's Diverticulum: An Uncommon Encounter.

Retrograde intussusception (RINT) and giant Meckel's diverticulum (MD) are both rare pathologies and are seldom encountered in surgical practice. Thus, it is exceptional for both conditions to be seen in the same patient, with very few published case reports in the paediatric population. This case describes a three-month-old male who was referred to our paediatric surgery unit following a diagnosis of intussusception on an ultrasound scan.

Minimally Invasive Parathyroidectomy in a Child With Acute Pancreatitis.

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is rarely seen in the paediatric population and is typically not associated with those aetiologies seen in adult pancreatitis. This case describes a 12-year-old female who presented with acute abdominal pain and constipation, with biochemical evidence of elevated serum amylase, calcium (Ca) and parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels. A diagnosis of AP was made, which was settled with conservative management.
