Unusual presentation of giant mature mediastinal teratoma in a young child: A case report.

Mature mediastinal teratoma is a rare benign tumor in children. Few cases have been reported in the literature. Moreover, this tumor is often characterized by slow growth, reaching a large volume and frequently causing nonspecific symptoms, making its diagnosis more difficult.

Ossifying renal tumor of infancy: A case report.

Ossifying Renal Tumor of Infancy (ORTI) represents an extremely rare and benign renal neoplasm, with limited cases published in the literature. Predominantly characterized by painless and intermittent gross hematuria, the diagnostic evaluation is effectively facilitated through ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging. Despite progress, its etiology has not yet been elucidated.

[Rapunzel syndrome in a child with trisomy 21: a case report].

Trichobezoard is a rare condition characterized by a gastric mass composed of hair or fibers due to a compulsive attitude (trichotillomania) and an eating disorder (trichophagia). Gastric trichobezoar is the most common form and may extend into the small bowel, sometimes reaching the last ileal loop, or even the transverse colon, resulting in Rapunzel syndrome. We here report a case of gastroduodenal and small intestine trichoboozoar in a 6-year-old girl with facies of trisomy, presenting with recurrent abdominal pain lasting for one months and suspected gastrointestinal lymphoma.

[Long-term evolution of vesicoureteral reflux in children].

Vesicoureteral reflux is very common in children, requiring a long follow-up period to reduce its progression toward chronic renal failure. This study aims to analyze the epidemiological diagnostic features, the management of vesicoureteral reflux and long term course of patients with this disease. We conducted a retrospective study of 42 patients with suspected vesicoureteral reflux hospitalized in the Department of Visceral Paediatric Surgery at the Hassan II University Hospital of Fez over a period of 6 years from January 2010 to December 2015.

Meckel's diverticulum causing intestinal obstruction in the newborn.

The causes of neonatal bowel obstruction are variable and dominated by malformations and the Meckel diverticulum must remain exceptional. We report a case of neonatal bowel obstruction in a six day old male neonate admitted on account of inability to pass stool, abdominal distension and bilious vomiting. The radiologic additional examinations are non-specific.

Congenital fistulisation of Meckel's diverticulum in omphalocele sac: case report.

Fistulisation of Meckel's diverticulum in the top of an omphalocele sac is very rare. To our Knowledge, three cases were reported in the literature. We presente in this report a new case of this uncommon presentation.

[Slipped capital femoral epiphysis in a patient with cerebral palsy due to seizure].

Slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) is a slippage of the femoral epiphysis (femoral head) on the femoral neck. Femoral epiphysis usually slips backward and inward because of body weight. This disorder mainly occurs during puberty.

[Type III Monteggia lesion: a rare association, about a case].

Type III Monteggia lesion is very rare, usually occurring within a context of violent trauma and often going unnoticed. We report the case of a 11-year old boy presenting to the Emergency Department with blunt trauma of the upper limb. The radiological evaluation showed olecranon fracture and radial epiphyseal separation associated with dislocation of the radial head.

[Elastic stable intramedullary nailing (ESIN) in the treatment of both-bone forearm fractures in the child: about 87 cases].

This study aims to describe the complications of elastic stable intramedullary nailing (ESIN) in the treatment of both-bone forearm diaphyseal fractures in the child. Between January 2009 and December 2013, 87 children with both-bone forearm diaphyseal fractures were treated by elastic stable intramedullary nailing with Métaizeau nails. 76 boys and 11 girls, with an average age of 12 years, were enrolled in the study.
