Published: March 2012

Urorectal septum malformation sequence is a sporadic malformation due to failure of septation of primitive cloaca with no anal opening. Umbilical cyst can be associated with chromosomal aneuploidy such as trisomy 18 or trisomy 13. We report on a fetus with complete urorectal septum malformation sequence with an umbilical cyst resulting from a patent urachus and with meconium as its content. This report adds to the variety of the causes of umbilical cyst and the spectrum of consequences of urorectal septal defect.

This study aimed to explore the clinical characteristics of umbilical cord cysts (UCCs) detected from the second trimester onwards in a single tertiary center over a 22-year period. The subjects consisted of a total of 12 cases of UCCs among 11 pregnant women (10 singleton pregnancies and 1 twin pregnancy), diagnosed at ≥ 14 weeks of gestation, and managed at Kurume University Hospital from 2000 to 2021. The maternal backgrounds, characteristics of the cysts, including their location, numbers, sizes, associated fetal/neonatal findings, and outcomes, were analyzed retrospectively.

Background Umbilical mucosal polyps are common, but physicians' unfamiliarity with them can prolong the patient's illness. Furthermore, the details of surgery for umbilical mucosal polyp removal are not well documented. Methods Patients with an umbilical mucosal polyp diagnosed on the basis of the lesion's characteristic appearance were prospectively enrolled.

To explore the efficacy of domestic single-hole robotic surgery system in the treatment of pediatric urological diseases. A prospective review of clinical data of children who underwent laparoscopic surgery in the Department of Urology, Shanghai Children's Medical Center, School of Medicine, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, was conducted from July to November 2023. All surgeries were performed using the sharp single-port serpentine arm robotic surgery system, with an umbilical access route.

Background: We aimed to present our experience with children with symptomatic omphalomesenteric duct (OMD) anomalies and evaluate the patients' characteristics, treatment, and outcomes.

Methods: Records of children who were operated for symptomatic OMD anomalies in Şanlıurfa Training and Research Hospital between October 2018 and November 2022 were retrospectively analysed.

Results: There were 35 patients with a median age of 31.

Article Synopsis
  • - A 30-year-old woman underwent prenatal ultrasound at 14 weeks and was found to be carrying a fetus with multiple congenital anomalies, prompting chromosome microarray analysis (CMA) after the pregnancy was terminated.
  • - The analysis revealed a significant deletion on chromosome 5 (5q14.3-q31.1), affecting numerous genes, including NR2F1 and MEF2C, indicating a genetic basis for the fetal conditions observed.
  • - CMA proves to be an effective tool in identifying genetic abnormalities in fetuses with unexplained congenital anomalies, highlighting its value in prenatal genetic testing.
