Unveiling the rarity: A case report of giant peritoneal loose body.

Peritoneal loose bodies, also referred to as peritoneal mice, are formed by torsion of epiploic appendages detaching from the large bowel, subsequently becoming loose within the peritoneal cavity. While often discovered incidentally during laparotomy or autopsy, emerging reports suggest they can manifest with diverse symptoms. Here, we present a 61-year-old patient experiencing lower abdominal pain and irritative voiding symptoms, ultimately diagnosed with a giant peritoneal loose body measuring 6.

A rare case of extensive pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis with intestinal malrotation: Case report.

Intramural bowel gas (Pneumatosis intestinalis) refers to the radiological or clinical evidence of gas within the wall of the bowel lumen. While intramural gas could be secondary to life-threatening pathologies such as mesenteric ischemia in adults and necrotizing enterocolitis in neonates, it could also occur as a rare benign sub-type called Pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis, which is characterized by multiple gas-filled cysts in the submucosa and/or subserosal of the gastrointestinal tract. Distinguishing between life-threatening Pneumatosis intestinalis and its benign subtypes requires careful clinical and imaging evaluation.

Left side appendiceal abscess in a patient with intestinal nonrotation: Case report.

Intestinal nonrotation is the most common type of mid-gut anomaly where the small bowel predominantly occupies the right side of the peritoneal cavity, while the colon primarily resides on the left. The occurrence of acute appendicitis in mid-gut anomalies poses a serious diagnostic challenge due to unprecedented clinical and imaging features. Here we present a 20-year-old female who came to the hospital with left lower abdominal pain of 3 weeks duration, referred with a diagnosis of tubo-ovarian abscess.

A rare case of OHVIRA (obstructed hemivagina and ipsilateral renal anomaly) syndrome: Case report.

Obstructed hemivagina and ipsilateral renal anomaly syndrome (OHVIRA) also known as Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich syndrome is a rare type of Müllerian duct anomaly with concomitant mesonephric duct anomalies. It is characterized by uterus didelphys, obstructed hemi-vagina, and commonly renal agenesis however; other types of mesonephric duct anomalies such as duplicated kidneys, dysplastic kidneys, rectovesical bands, or crossed fused ectopia have also been reported. We present a case report of a 21-year-old female patient experiencing new-onset vaginal bleeding and pelvic pain over the past month.
