Background. Abdominal masses in female adolescents are uncommon. A rare cause of this condition is hematocolpos due to imperforate hymen. Case. We present a case of an unusually massive asymptomatic abdominal bulk in a 14-year-old female patient, who sought for medical advice after unusual abdominal pain lasting for few weeks. The patient was otherwise asymptomatic, apart from an unusual dramat...

INTRODUCTION Ureteral atresia is a rare disease usually associated with a non-functioning kidney. Its association with other urinary anomalies is rare. CASE PRESENTATION In this study we discuss the possibility of congenital or acquired etiology of a right imperforate distal ureter. Here we report the case of 11-month-old white boy with a right ureteropelvic junction obstruction. He underwent...

OEIS complex is one of the congenital anomalies not compatible with life. It comprises of omphalocele, exstrophy of the cloaca, imperforate anus and spinal defects with incidence of 1:100,000 live births. It can be associated with other anomalies of urinary tract, genital tract, skeletal defects variably. Diagnosis can be done prenatally by ultrasonography. We present a case of OEIS complex wit...

Although renal and cardiac malformations are commonly seen in Turner syndrome (TS), anorectal malformations, multicystic dysplastic kidney and interrupted aortic arch are quite rare in TS. A newborn with TS with three quite rare congenital malformations (imperforate anus/anal atresia associated with rectovestibular fistula, interrupted aortic arch, and multicystic dysplastic kidney) is presented.

Townes-Brocks syndrome (TBS) is an autosomal dominant disorder with multiple malformations and variable expression. Major findings include external ear anomalies, hearing loss, limb deformity, imperforate anus, and renal malformations. Hypothyroidism is not a recognized feature of TBS. We are reporting a case of TBS with hypothyroidism, a rare association.

Omphalocele-exstrophy of the bladder-imperforate anus-spinal defect (OEIS) complex is a rare constellation of clinical abnormalities with wide phenotypic presentation. We describe a case of a preterm neonate with OEIS complex with acute renal failure, and the challenges in diagnosis and management of this patient as renal failure can be a multifactorial process when encountered with this rare c...
