Abstract Para duodenal hernias, the most common type of retroperitoneal hernias, are thought to occur naturally from abnormal gut rotation because of fusion folds within the peritoneum. Retroperitoneal hernias are a rare postoperative complication and have not been described after renal transplantation via a retroperitoneal approach. This case report presents a 48-year-old male with intestinal obstruction after renal transplant due to herniation into the retroperitoneum via an incidentally created peritoneal defect. We suggest computed tomography with oral contrast be used in the early postoperative phase to assess for obstruction in patients with prolonged ileus of unclear etiology who have undergone retroperitoneal dissection. Small peritoneal defects should be closed during dissection. Larger, or multiple peritoneal defects should be extended to make a single, large defect to decrease the possibility of bowel herniating and becoming incarcerated.

Postnatally acquired cytomegalovirus (CMV) is commonly acquired via breast milk, with premature infants more frequently developing symptoms of CMV infection in comparison to term infants. Meningitis is a rare clinical manifestation of CMV infection. The diagnosis of meningitis is difficult to make in infants, particularly those who are preterm. Consequentially, broad-spectrum empiric antimicrobial coverage is often administered for several days while waiting for current gold standard CSF testing to result. The BioFire FilmArray (BFA) simultaneously tests for 14 different pathogens, including CMV, allowing for quicker diagnosis and shorter time to definitive treatment. Here, we report a very low birth weight infant with postnatally acquired CMV meningitis, the first to our knowledge to be diagnosed using the BioFire FilmArray.
