A Case of Pulmonary Nodular Schistosomiasis.

Bilharzia is a parasitic infection particularly affecting the digestive tract and urinary tract. Lung involvement is rarely reported.

Pneumonectomy in a child due to belated diagnosis of foreign body aspiration: a case report.

Introduction: With early diagnosis, fiberoptic or rigid bronchoscopy methods are the gold standard in the management of tracheobronchial foreign body. Otherwise, nonrecognized bronchial foreign bodies cause irreversible damage to the airways and lungs. The deficiency of the health system noted in many developing countries such as Madagascar, combined with the fundamental problem relating to children's conditions, which are determined by social and educational factors, makes it almost impossible to provide early and appropriate management of the penetration syndrome.

We report a clinical case of lower sternal cleft associated with congenital laparoschisis in a 2-year-old boy.

New reduction technique simplified for surgical stabilisation of isolated manubriosternal dislocation: A case report and literature review.
