Necrotizing fasciitis in a pediatric patient: Successful management in the inguinal area - A case report.

Introduction: Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is a rare life-threatening medical and surgical emergency. We present a case of a pediatric patient diagnosed with necrotizing fasciitis in the inguinal area which required debridement and post-operative management of the residual wound using a combination of wound closure techniques.

Case Presentation: A 10-months-old girl with a history of Food-protein induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES) presented with septic shock and ulcerative lesions of the inguinal area.

Foreign Body Ingestion Ending Up in Late-Presenting Morgagni Hernia Diagnosis: A Case Report.

Morgagni hernia (MH), also known as a retrosternal or parasternal hernia, is a rare type of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) characterized by a defect in the anterior diaphragm. Patients with late-diagnosed MH typically present with vague gastrointestinal or respiratory symptoms. In some instances, MH is incidentally identified through chest X-rays performed for other reasons, such as foreign body ingestion, as illustrated in our presented case.

Internal hernia as cause of acute abdomen in a preterm neonate: when necrotizing enterocolitis is not the culprit.

Internal hernias in preterm neonates, although rare, can arise due to various anatomical and physiological factors associated with prematurity. We report a case of a preterm infant with symptoms of suspected necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) that turned out to be an internal hernia during surgical exploration. Given the overlapping symptoms, it is crucial to maintain a high index of suspicion and utilize the appropriate imaging techniques, such as ultrasound or radiographic studies, to aid in the differentiation between NEC and internal hernia, especially when responding to cases that do not improve with standard NEC management or exhibit atypical features.

A novel mutation in the AMHR2 gene, resulting in persistent Müllerian duct syndrome presenting with bilateral cryptorchidism and obstructed inguinal hernia.

Objectives: To highlight important clinical aspects of Persistent Müllerian duct syndrome (PMDS). PMDS belongs to the group of differences of sex development. It is attributed to mutations in genes encoding for the anti-Müllerian hormone or its type II receptor (AMHR2) and inherited via an autosomal recessive transmission.
