Mesenchymal hepatic hamartoma: A rare case of severe respiratory distress in a neonate.

It is critical to consider intra-abdominal pathology in cases of neonatal respiratory distress. Accurate and prompt diagnosis via computed tomography is lifesaving. We have highlighted the effectiveness of rapid surgical intervention as curative.

Neonatal Testicular Torsion with Hydrocele: A Case Report Underscoring the Need for Early Recognition and Management.

Neonatal testicular torsion (NTT) is a rare but significant condition occurring within the first 30-day postbirth, leading to vascular compromise and potential testicular loss. This paper presents a case of NTT detected incidentally in a neonate with bilateral hydrocele, emphasizing the challenge of early diagnosis and management complexities. The infant underwent surgical intervention involving detorsion and bilateral orchiopexy but eventually required right orchiectomy due to necrosis.

Noninflammatory obstructive appendicopathy: A rare presentation of abdominal pain.

Patients with appendicitis-like abdominal pain but negative laboratory and radiological findings can have rare alternative aetiologies such as obstructive appendicopathy. A normal appendix may be seen in surgery, and removal with consent is curative.

Omental infarction and anterior wall adhesion presenting as surgical abdomen in a pediatric patient.

Omental infarction is a rare cause of acute abdomen that can present in both the pediatric and adult populations causing adhesions or abscesses. Presentation may mimic appendicitis; however, ultrasonography may not be sufficient. We discuss the importance of CT imaging for the pre-surgical diagnosis to avoid serious port-site injuries.
