AI Article Synopsis
- Congenital segmental dilatation of colon (CSDC) is a rare condition found in newborns, characterized by abnormal swelling in a specific section of the colon.
- There have been reports of single segment dilatation, but no cases of multiple CSDC have been documented until now.
- This case study presents a unique instance of multiple CSDC occurring alongside cleft lip and palate, as well as rectal atresia.
Article Abstract
Congenital segmental dilatation of colon (CSDC) is a rare malformation in neonates. A single segmental dilatation of colon is mentioned in the available case reports. Not a single case of multiple CSDC is reported hitherto. We report a case of multiple CSDC associated with cleft lip and palate, and rectal atresia.

We describe a 12-year-old boy with agenesis of the intrahepatic segment of the inferior vena cava (a rare congenital anomaly) in whom an electrified coronary guidewire with electrocautery was used percutaneously to perforate and open the atretic segment, followed by stent implantation. This technique may be a safe and feasible option for paediatric patients, offering a therapeutic alternative for complex cardiac anatomies.

Instrumentation of C2 vertebra is considered the most difficult for young neurosurgeons and trainees due to its complex anatomical structures, variety of surgical approaches and techniques, and proximity to important neurovascular structures. Key points from a surgical perspective for midline posterior approach is described in the era of neuroradiological advancements. Computed tomography angiographies (CTAs) of a total of 92 patients were evaluated with special attention to the key findings for insertion of screws for craniovertebral junction (CVJ) fixations.

Introduction: Since the development of pedicle screw fixation in the spine, safe placement has remained a crucial component in maximizing patient outcomes and mitigating pedicle screw-related complications. The purpose of this study is to investigate the utility of pedicle tapping in identifying pedicle breaches.
Methods: A pediatric spine surgery database was queried to identify a consecutive series of patients who underwent spinal deformity surgery utilizing pedicle screw fixation between May 2019 and October 2022.

Colorectal Surgery, Blackpool Teaching Hospitals, Blackpool, GBR.
Meckel's diverticulum (MD) is a common congenital anomaly of the gastrointestinal tract, present in approximately 2% of the population. While typically asymptomatic, MD can lead to complications such as obstruction and intussusception. Here, we present a case report of a man presenting with abdominal pain with an incidental finding of MD complicated by intussusception and our management approach.
