Adult with concurrent mesenteric cyst and acute appendicitis: a case report.

Mesenteric cysts are uncommon intra-abdominal lesions that account for only one in every 100 000 adult hospitalizations. Their diagnosis is based on a comprehensive clinical examination as well as radiological modalities such as ultrasonography and computed tomography (CT) scans, and it is usually a clinical challenge because of non-specific symptoms. We present our first case of a 51-year-old man with a simple mesenteric cyst accompanying acute appendicitis diagnosed by CT scan of the abdomen and treated by exploratory laparotomy, complete enucleation of the cyst and appendectomy with a 10 month follow-up without complications or recurrence.

Bilateral Tessier no. 7 cleft with an accessory maxilla and osseous choristoma: a case report.

Tessier no. 7 clefts are characterized by macrostomia, facial muscular diastasis and maxillary and zygomatic bone abnormalities. It is caused by a lack of ectomesenchyme formation or penetration of the maxillary and mandibular processes during the fourth and fifth weeks of development.

Our first Pfannenstiel incisional hernia. A case report.

The incidence of the Pfannenstiel incisional hernia (IH) is the lowest of all IHs, it can occur due to patient-related factors or faulty technique in closure of the deeper layer. The use of prosthetic mesh repair is heralding a new era of tension-free herniorrhaphy, while the optimal location for its implantation remains controversial. As a result, no strategy or technique has become the gold standard for its repair.

Acute traumatic abdominal wall hernia-value of the physical examination: case report.

Acute traumatic abdominal wall hernia (TAWH) is a rare type of hernia that occurs after a low or high velocity impact of the abdominal wall against a blunt object with few cases reported. Perforations of the hollow viscera commonly follow abdominal trauma and likely require surgery for hemorrhage and sepsis source control. We report a case where a high velocity impact of the abdominal wall against the stump of a felled tree caused a TAWH with concomitant gastric perforation in a 20-year-old male patient who required exploratory laparotomy with primary repair of the stomach and fascia.

Large intra-abdominal mucinous cystic adenoma: is it of ovarian or mesenteric origin.

A 54-year-old female presented with a six year history of increasing abdominal swelling and discomfort and two months of intermittent constipation and difficulty with micturition. She was referred from the gynecological service having been investigated for a pelvic pathology without any positive findings. Her medical history was otherwise unremarkable.

Giant intraparietal inguinal hernia misdiagnosed as spigelian hernia in an old woman.

Intraparietal inguinal hernias are a rare variant of inguinal hernia in which the hernia sac lies between the layers of the abdominal muscles. Intraparietal inguinal hernias mimic Spigelian hernias clinically; the diagnosis presents superior difficulties than its treatment. We report a case of a giant intraparietal hernia misdiagnosed as a Spigelian hernia clinically.

Esophageal perforation by tilapia fish bone ingestion - A case report.

Presentation Of Case: A 41-year-old male patient presented with a six-day history of painful right-sided neck swelling, associated with a progressive dysphagia, regurgitation, fever and chills.
