Thoracoscopic resection of foregut duplication cyst in a neonate.

Foregut duplication is more common in girls, particularly if there is bronchopulmonary involvement. The incidence of oesophageal duplication cyst is estimated to be one in 8200 live births with male prevalence. Most duplications are benign, but the presence of ectopic gastric mucosa and the potential for malignant degeneration remain a concern.

Gastric duplication cyst with hemoptysis: an unusual presentation.

Gastrointestinal duplications are rare developmental anomalies that may occur at any level from the oral cavity to the rectum, with the ileum being the most common site. Gastric duplications are rare gastrointestinal duplications. Various theories have been proposed for the development of duplication cysts; however, there is no single theory that explains all types of duplications.

Traumatic duodenal injury in children: A report of two cases.

Duodenal injury following blunt abdominal trauma in children is extremely rare. It commonly has a delayed presentation, thus leading to increased mortality and morbidity. We report two cases of isolated duodenal injury following blunt abdominal trauma in children.

Post Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Biloma in a Child Managed by Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangio-Pancreatography and Stenting: A Case Report.

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy, though an uncommon surgical procedure in paediatric age group is still associated with a higher risk of post-operative bile duct injuries when compared with the open procedure. Small leaks from extra hepatic biliary apparatus usually lead to the formation of a localized sub-hepatic bile collection, also known as biloma. Such leaks are rare complication after laparoscopic cholecystectomy, especially in paediatric age group.

Mixed Gonadal Dysgenesis with an unusual "inverted" Y chromosome.

Mixed gonadal dysgenesis is a rare disorder of sex development associated with sex chromosome aneuploidy and mosaicism of the Y chromosome. It is characterized by a unilateral non-palpable (usually intra-abdominal) testis, a contralateral streak gonad and persistent mullerian structures. The clinical presentation can vary from a typical male to female phenotype including all degrees of cryptorchidism, labial fusion, clitoromegaly, epispadias and hypospadias.

Fetus in Fetu: Two Cases and Literature Review.

Fetus in fetu is a rare cause of abdominal mass in infants wherein a parasitic twin grows inside a host. The true etiology is unclear. Various theories have been postulated.

An adolescent with a phyllodes tumor: A case report and review.

Phyllodes tumors are rare fibroepithelial tumors that account for less than 0.5% of all breast tumors. Presentation in children is even rarer.

An Unusual Case of Transorificial Abdomino-Thoracic Impalement Injury in a Child.

Impalement injuries are rare in the paediatric age group. Still rarer are injuries which traverse multiple body cavities. Such injuries require multispecialty management at a tertiary care centre.

Mesenteric cyst(s) presenting as acute intestinal obstruction in children: Three cases and literature review.

Background And Objectives: Mesenteric cysts are rare in paediatric age group and usually present as asymptomatic abdominal lumps. Acute presentations are uncommon and their preoperative diagnosis is difficult.

Design And Settings: This is a retrospective observational study describing three children with mesenteric cysts who presented with symptoms and signs of acute intestinal obstruction.

Spontaneous intestinal perforation in neonates.

Background: The term Spontaneous Intestinal Perforation (SIP) suggests a perforation in the gastrointestinal tract of a newborn with no demonstrable cause.

Methods: Four neonates presenting with spontaneous bowel perforation were analyzed with respect to clinical presentation, management and outcome.

Results: The mean age at presentation was 11.

Membranous variety of rectal atresia - primary management in a neonate.

Rectal atresia is a rare form of anorectal malformation, with reported incidence of 1 to 2% and membranous variety of rectal atresia is even rarer. Most reported cases have been dealt with a staged procedure which includes sigmoid colostomy. We diagnosed and classified the variety of rectal atresia by performing an X-Ray (invertogram along with the red rubber catheter in situ.
