Enteric duplication cysts and reversed intestinal rotation (RIR) are rare congenital anomalies, with their coexistence being exceptionally uncommon. We report a 4-year-old girl who presented with chronic anemia and intermittent abdominal symptoms since infancy. Detailed workup for medical causes of anemia was inconclusive.

Aims: This study aims to review our experience of treating ovarian masses in children with an emphasis on clinical presentation, diagnosis, treatment, and outcome.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the electronic medical records of all patients below 18 years of age who underwent surgical treatment for ovarian masses at our institute between 2009 and 2023. Study variables included demography, clinical presentation, physical findings, tumor markers, radiologic features, operative details, histopathology, follow-up status, and overall survival.

Congenital diaphragmatic malformations include congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) and eventration of the diaphragm. The clinical presentation is variable, and the prognosis depends on multiple factors. The coexistence of CDH and diaphragmatic eventration in the same patient is extremely unusual and has not been reported previously in the literature.

A detailed mechanistic study exhibits that the reaction via multicomponent, one-pot, two-step incooperating three-components' reactants under nominal conditions efficiently synthesizes the intermediates in shorter than reported time along with the formation of a novel compound [5-amino-6-cyano-3-hydroxybenzo[]coumarin] in the presence of Ni-Cu-Al-CO hydrotalcite as a heterogeneous catalyst. Hydrotalcite functions as an efficient and versatile catalyst as it is safe, easy to work up, and recyclable many times under ambient conditions, and the reaction time is shorter.
