Sternal agenesis as well as ectopia cordis are extremely rare congenital malformations. We here report a single case treated in the Department of Paediatric Surgery in Benin. The study involved a 3-year-old girl with congenital sternal agenesis associated with ectopia cordis; firstly, she underwent controlled healing. Then thoracoplasty was performed with favourable outcome. Long-term results are good. Now, she is 13 years old, is attending school and has a satisfactory clinical condition. This is one of the few cases reported in the literature. Optimal therapeutic management has been keeping the patient alive in West Africa.

Objective: Berry syndrome is a group of rare congenital cardiac malformations including aortopulmonary window (APW), aortic origin of the right pulmonary artery (AORPA), interruption of the aortic arch (IAA), patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) (supplying the descending aorta) and intact ventricular septum. This paper will analyze the clinical data of 7 patients with Berry syndrome who underwent surgical treatment in our institution and discuss the one-stage surgical correction of Berry syndrome in combination with the literature.
Methods: From January 2013 to July 2024, a total of 7 children with Berry syndrome were admitted to the Cardiac Surgery Department of Beijing Children's Hospital.

An aortic aneurysm is a localized enlargement that exceeds the normal diameter of the vessel by 50 %, posing a risk due to the likelihood of rupture. The cause of aortic aneurysm, especially in young people, is connective tissue dysplasia, a condition characterized by defects in the assembly of collagen and elastin proteins, leading to changes in elastic properties and disruption of the formation of organs and their systems. The article presents data confirming the relationship between many morphological manifestations of connective tissue dysplasia (e.

Article Synopsis
- A six-year-old spayed female Siberian Husky presented with cervical pain, ataxia, respiratory changes, and significant weight loss, leading to a battery of diagnostic tests.
- Findings indicated serious health issues, including spinal myelopathy and signs suggestive of metastatic carcinoma, prompting humane euthanasia and further investigation through necropsy.
- The necropsy revealed multiple tumors consistent with cholangiocellular carcinoma, highlighting challenges in prior diagnostics and an unusual presentation with cervical pain likely linked to spinal metastasis.
