Perforation of the excluded segment without pneumoperitoneum following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery: case report and literature review.

Background: Because of the increasing prevalence of obesity and bariatric surgery (Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) as the gold standard), there is a still growing population of people with altered post-operative anatomy. Although the most common early and late complications following RYGB are well known, they can still be difficult to diagnose. The altered anatomy after RYGB can create a real diagnostic and therapeutic challenge since routine examinations can be negative.

Meckel's enterolith : a rare cause of mechanical small bowel subobstruction.

Meckel's diverticulum is the most common congenital gastrointestinal malformation and may present with bleeding, obstruction and diverticulitis. Symptomatic Meckel's diverticulum is associated with age <50 years, male gender, diverticular length > 2 cm and ectopic mucosa. Formation of enteroliths is a rare complication of Meckel's diverticulum and the majority of stones will remain in the diverticulum.

An unusual presentation of an incarcerated Spigelian hernia.

Spigelian hernias are rare hernias, occurring through a defect in the Spigelian aponeurosis. Like other hernias, they may contain abdominal contents but are more likely to be incarcerated due to the small size of the fascial defect. Multiple intra-abdominal organs have reportedly been found in Spigelian hernias.

Intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct: a case report.

Intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct (IPNB) is a rare variant of bile duct tumors, characterized by papillary growth within the bile duct lumen and is regarded as a biliary counterpart of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) of the pancreas. IPNBs are mainly found in patients from Far Eastern areas, where hepatolithiasis and clonorchiasis are endemic. The Western experience, however, remains limited.

Presacral extramedullary haematopoiesis: A diagnostic update and case report of a late diagnosis.

Introduction: We report a rare case of presacral extramedullary haematopoiesis, which manifested as a tumoural mass on a routine ultrasonography in a patient presenting with symptoms of cholecystitis. Since Ask-Upmark in 1945 reported 3 cases of pelvic extramedullary haematopoiesis, we are aware of only published 14 additional cases.

Presentation Of Case: A 73-year-old female patient presented with abdominal pain in the right hypochondrium.
