Ebstein's anomaly is a rare entity affecting around 1 in 200,000 live births and accounts for less than 1% of congenital heart diseases. Ebstein's anomaly with an associated right-sided myxoma is extremely rare, with only one other case report found in the literature. Previous reports have also noted cases of Ebstein's anomaly associated with left-sided myxomas. We describe a female patient wit...

Polythelia, the presence of supernumerary nipples or nipple-areola complexes, is the most common anomaly of the pediatric breast. Although polythelia is common, intraareolar polythelia (nipple dichotomy) is an extremely rare congenital malformation. Surgical treatment is performed as a prophylaxis against breast cancer which has a higher prevalence in polythelia or polymastia. We describe a cas...

In a case operated on for calculous jaundice the right and left hepatic ducts drained directly into the gallbladder and the cystic duct was the only route by which hepatic bile reached the duodenum. Exploration of the inside of the gallbladder was a crucial step for the discovery of the anomaly. Continuity of bile drainage was secured by the preservation of a portion of the gallbladder which co...

The rare form of skeletal dysplasia is thanatophoric dysplasia. The meaning for thanatophoric dysplasia is death bearing which is derived from Greek word. It occurs 1in 20,000 to 50,000. It is mainly due to mutations in the fibroblast growth factor receptor 3gene. Features of thanatophoric dysplasia are frontal bossing, prominent eyes, narrow thorax, protruded abdomen and bowed legs.

Although absence of the common carotid artery (CCA) is a rare anomaly, the specific configuration in our case makes it extremely rare. Clinical, angiographic, ultrasonographic, and embryologic correlations of this anomaly are discussed after the case report.
