This is a case report of a child who had acyanotic congenital heart disease - ventricular septal defect (VSD) and a patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) with severe pulmonary arterial hypertension. The child underwent open-heart surgery - VSD closure with PDA ligation - and six months later was re-admitted for congenital lobar emphysema of the right middle lobe. He underwent successful right middle lobectomy of the lung six months after cardiac surgery under a one-lung ventilation technique in which application of fiber-optic bronchoscope made the surgery safer and more suitable.

Background And Aims: For young children with intractable epilepsy caused by congenital abnormalities or acquired cortical lesions, pediatric hemispherectomy surgery (pHS) may offer the only path to seizure remediation. Although some sensory and motor outcomes of pHS are highly predictable, the long-term cognitive and functional sequelae of pHS are far more variable. With the aim of identifying potential post-pHS intervention targets, the current study examined daily executive functioning and self-awareness in adults with pHS and broadly intact cognitive outcomes (indicated by average or above performance on intelligence tests).

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.
