Congenital lobar emphysema (CLE) is a potentially reversible, though possibly life-threatening, cause of respiratory distress in the neonate. It poses dilemma in diagnosis and management. We are presenting a 6-week-old baby who presented with a sudden onset of respiratory distress related to CLE affecting the left upper lobe. Lobectomy was performed under general anaesthesia with one lung ventilation. The details of anaesthetic challenges and management are described here.

Holoprosencephaly (HPE) is a severe and complex congenital brain malformation caused by a defect in the midline cleavage of the prosencephalon during early embryonic development. It is the most common prosencephalic malformation in humans and is categorized into three classical forms based on the severity of this cleavage defect: alobar, semilobar, and lobar HPE. A milder interhemispheric variant, called syntelencephaly, is also considered a form of HPE.

Background: Down syndrome (DS) is the most common congenital neurodevelopmental disorder, present in about 1 in every 700 live births. Despite its prevalence, literature exploring the neurobiology underlying DS and how this neurobiology is related to behavior is limited. This study fills this gap by examining cortical volumes and behavioral correlates in school-age children with DS.

Article Synopsis
- Choledochal cysts are congenital bile duct abnormalities classified into five main types, with this case focusing on an intrahepatic variant mistaken for biliary cystadenoma.
- A 35-year-old woman experienced pain and a palpable mass, leading to diagnostic imaging that revealed a complicated cyst affecting her liver's bile ducts.
- Surgical intervention was required due to the cyst's complexity, and while the gallbladder was removed, the cyst could not be entirely separated from the common hepatic duct, highlighting the need for careful evaluation to prevent complications.

Article Synopsis
- - Bilateral upper lobe pulmonary agenesis is a rare birth defect typically discovered incidentally in adults, with non-specific and subtle findings on traditional x-rays.
- - Diagnosis is often missed on regular radiography, but chest CT scans performed for other reasons can reveal this condition.
- - Contrast-enhanced CT is the best method for diagnosing and detailing the features of pulmonary agenesis, and understanding related pulmonary anomalies is crucial in treating patients with congenital heart issues.
