Intestinal obstruction in the newborn infant and older child may be due to a variety of conditions, including atresia and stenosis, annular pancreas, malrotation, duplication cyst, meconium ileus, meconium plug syndrome and neonatal small left colon syndrome, Hirschsprung's disease, neoplasia, trauma, and other rarer causes. The mode of presentation can be acute or more chronic with systemic up...

Gastrointestinal tract duplications are rare congenital malformations that may occur anywhere in the alimentary tract from the mouth to the anus, and vary greatly in presentation, size, location, and especially in symptoms. We present a case of an infected spherical colonic duplication, in a 20-day-old baby, located at the splenic flexure of the colon. The prominent symptom was acute abdomen, a...

Intestinal duplications are rare congenital anomalies, and most of them are detected in the first 2 years of life or antenatally. The clinical presentation depends on location, size, and the presence of ectopic gastric mucosa. Ultrasound scans during pregnancy result in a higher rate of antenatally detected duplications which allows early treatment and avoidance of possible complications. Resec...

Conjoint twins have always been a surgical challenge. The authors report an unusual finding in a surviving epigastric heteropagus twin. A 17 year old boy who underwent laparotomy for acute intestinal obstruction revealed a blind ending but complete duplication of the large bowel and an accessory liver in the falciform ligament, along with a separate gall bladder but with fused bile ducts. The f...

Meckel's diverticulum is the most common congenital abnormality of alimentary tract. The antimesenteric location is one of the cardinal attribiutes of this pathology. We report case which tries to verify this dogma. The literature regarding uncommon location of Meckel's diverticulum was also reviewed.

Abstract Age is a key factor in the differential diagnosis of gastrointestinal (GI) pathology children. Imaging crucial range pediatric GI disorders. In term neonates, congenital anomalies tract causing obstruction are at forefront: atresia, intestinal malrotation with or without midgut volvulus, Hirschsprung’s disease, meconium plug syndrome, and ileus. premature neonate, necrotizing enterocol...

duplication of inferior vena cava (ivc) is a rare fi nding in radiologic studies and its coincidence with thrombosis is even rarer. here we described a rare case with duplication of ivc and symptomatic venous thrombosis of her lower extrimity.

background :according to numerous studies, fms-like tyrosine kinase 3, internal tandem duplication, and the d835 mutation are associated with a poor prognostic clinical outcome in acute myeloid leukemia patients. detection of the fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 mutation in patients who present with normal karyotype acute myeloid leukemia helps in both the understanding of the disease and the treatme...
