Background: Complex female genital tract malformations account for 1.2% of all female genitourinary malformations. Although exceedingly rare, they can cause severe gynecologic symptoms in young women and lead to fertility problems.
Case: We present the case of a 13-year-old girl with primary amenorrhea referred for cyclic abdominal lower pain and menouria. Detailed diagnostics revealed uterus didelphys, transverse vaginal septum, and bilateral vesicovaginal fistulas. Laparoscopic left hemi-hysterectomy and salpingectomy were performed. The vesicovaginal fistula on the right side was excised, and the proximal vagina was anastomosed with the distal dimple. Since the operation, the patient has been pain-free and menstruating regularly from the right uterus.
Summary And Conclusion: Preservation of the uterus should be considered in any case of complex female genital tract malformation and, as successful laparoscopic treatment advocates, a minimally invasive approach is feasible.

Background: Pathogenic variants in are associated with pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy (PDE), a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by epileptic seizures, unresponsiveness to standard antiseizure medications (ASM), and a response only to pyridoxine. Here, we report two patients (from a consanguineous family) with neonatal seizures and developmental delay.

Article Synopsis
- PAH can cause serious ocular conditions like CRVO and CilRAO due to high blood pressure in the lungs affecting blood flow to the eyes.
- A 13-year-old girl with a history of heart surgery experienced sudden vision loss, with tests revealing both CRVO and CilRAO, along with signs of severe PAH.
- Treatment with Bosentan and traditional Chinese medicine led to significant vision improvement, highlighting the importance of addressing cardiovascular issues to prevent eye complications and the need for a comprehensive approach in such complex cases.

This study presents two cases of central sleep apnea syndrome in children, highlighting the utility of assessing ventilatory control stability, particularly loop gain and central chemosensitivity in treatment decision-making. In the first case, elevated loop gain for oxygen correlated with periodic breathing, leading to successful treatment with supplemental oxygen in a 13 year-old boy with Prader-Willi-like syndrome. Conversely, in the second case, dealing with a 10 year-old girl with tumor in the brainstem-spinal cord junction, reduced loop gain prompted treatment with nocturnal non-invasive ventilation.
