The urorectal septum malformation (URSM) sequence is defined as the absence of the perineal and anal opening in association with ambiguous genitalia and urogenital, colonic, and lumbosacral anomalies. The URSM sequence is usually lethal in the newborn period due to pulmonary hypoplasia resulting fromsevere oligohydramnios. The abnormalities of this condition are though to arise early in develop...

Background: The equine colic, which is caused by the presence of enteroliths that are most often found in the small or large colon, is typical for certain geographical regions (dry and hot climate). A diet rich in alfalfa is one of the highest risk factors. The earliest symptoms include weight loss and repeated episodes of colic pain. Aims: To present the resul...

We present a unique case of a 16-year-old male patient who was eventually diagnosed with a large enterolith arising from a Meckel's diverticulum. The enterolith had caused intermittent intestinal symptoms for three years before resulting in small bowel obstruction requiring surgical intervention. Meckel's enterolith ileus is very rare with only few cases described in the literature. To our know...

Prenatal diagnosis of cloacal abnormalities is a challenge and most suspicious prenatal findings abdominopelvic (AP) cyst. The objective our study to identify new imaging sign, the umbilical artery-aorta (UMA) angle, suspect malformation. In this retrospective we report 3 cases AP cyst, identified in 11–14-week scan. spatial relation between artery aorta sagittal view were evaluated on colour D...

INTRODUCTION Urorectal septum malformation sequence (URSMS) is a rare congenital abnormal syndrome that is caused by the incomplete division of the cloaca. Based on whether the cloaca membrane breaks down or not, the URSMS are classified as full and partial forms. The prenatal diagnosis of URSMS remains challenging because of poor recognition to this malformation and the relatively non-specific...

Since Neuhauser (I1944) drew attention to the radiological features of intra-abdominal calcification associated with meconium peritonitis, this condition has been diagnosed with increasing frequency. However, all cases showing intra-abdominal calcification at birth are not due to meconium peritonitis. Up to the present time four cases have been reported which show calcification within the lumen...
