The incidence of congenital multiple arthrogryposis in newborn calves during the period from September 1982 to September 1983 was studied by conducting a questionnaire on 2,204 dairy farms in the province of Overijssel. This entity was observed on 19 per cent of the farms with Meuse-Rhine-IJssel breed and on 12 per cent of those with the Friesian-Dutch or Friesian-Dutch/Dutch-Friesian breed of cattle. Bull-calves showing normal or heavy birth weights following a normal period of gestation were mainly affected. There was a considerable difference in incidence between sires.

Article Synopsis
- Diaphragmatic hernias (DH) are defects in the diaphragm allowing abdominal contents into the thoracic cavity, which can be either congenital (like Bochdalek hernia) or acquired, often due to trauma.
- A 69-year-old female experienced acute abdominal pain and was found to have a right posterolateral DH containing part of her colon, leading to an urgent surgical intervention.
- The surgery initially attempted laparoscopically was converted to an open procedure for better access, successfully repairing the hernia without tension or mesh, and the patient was discharged shortly after.

Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) in mesenteric vessels are exceptionally rare. These congenital vascular anomalies lead to direct vascular flow between the highly pressured arterial system and the low-pressure venous system. We describe the case of a patient with prior left colectomy for splenic flexure colonic adenocarcinoma presenting with persistent abdominal pain after developing multiple mesenteric thromboses.

Background: Morgagni hernia (MH) is a form of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) characterized by an incomplete formation of diaphragm, resulting in the protrusion of abdominal organs into the thoracic cavity. The estimated incidence of CDH is between 1 in 2000 and 1 in 5000 live births, although the true incidence is unknown. MH typically presents in childhood and can be diagnosed either prenatally or postnatally.

Congenital diaphragmatic hernias are primarily found in infants and have a high mortality rate due to neonatal respiratory distress. The most common type of congenital diaphragmatic hernia is Bochdalek hernia, which occurs in the posterolateral diaphragm, with the left side being the most commonly affected. However, congenital diaphragmatic hernias are extremely rare in adults and are often misdiagnosed due to their subtle symptoms.
