Heterotopic pancreas causing symptoms.

Annular pancreas causing duodenal obstruction in an adult.

Lim J, et al. BMJ Case Rep 2017. doi:10.1136/bcr-2017-219839 Description A 35-year-old man was admitted following daily vomiting for 2 weeks. He reported bouts of unexplained vomiting over the preceding 10 years. Gastroscopy showed obstruction in the second part of the duodenum with normal mucosa on biopsy (figure 1). CT demonstrated dilation of the first part of the duodenum caused by narrowin...

Pancreas divisum and choledochal cyst.

Pancreas divisum (PD) is the most common congenital variant of the pancreas, affecting 5% to 14% of the population. The ventral duct only drains the ventral pancreas through the major papilla, whereas the majority of the pancreas drains via the dorsal duct through the minor papilla. We report the case of a 21-year-old woman with recurrent acute pancreatitis who presented with the rare finding o...

Prostatic cyst causing severe infravesical obstruction in a young patient.

Received December 2009 Accepted February 2010 INTRODUCTION Prostatic cysts are rare entities, usually asymptomatic, and detected incidentally during transrectal or abdominal ultrasonography. Mostly, they originate from the posterior area of the prostate, such as the mullerian ducts and utricle, as an embryological remnant.(1) Symptomatic prostatic cysts usually present with recurrent urinary tr...

Heterotopic neuroglial tissue causing upper airway obstruction in a newborn.

Heterotopic neuroglial tissue, composed of differentiated neuroectodermal tissue, represents developmental heterotopia of neuroglial tissue rather than true neoplasm. Herein, we present a patient with nasopharyngeal heterotopic neuroglial tissue who presented with respiratory distress and feeding difficulty in early days after birth. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a cystic lesion measuring a...
