Agenesis Of Dorsal Pancreas

AbstractAgenesis of dorsal bud of the pancreas is an extremely rare congenital anomaly which results in absence of neck, body and tail of the adult pancreas. It may be associated with number of clinical features like diabetes mellitus, abdominal pain and chronic pancreatitis. Because of its rarity, we are reporting a case of agenesis of dorsal pancreas associated with early onset diabetes. Ultrasonography and Computed tomography showed absence of neck, body and tail of pancreas anterior to splenic vein and portal confluence; however head and uncinate process were normally present. Patient was thus diagnosed as agenesis of dorsal bud of pancreas.

Rare Congenital Anomaly

A 50-day-old male Maltese puppy was presented with difficulty in defaecation. Based on the clinical signs, and physical and radiographic examinations, including computed tomography, his condition was diagnosed as hypospadias, along with atresia ani and urethrorectal fistula. Hypospadias is a congenital malformation of the urethra that is relatively uncommon in dogs, while atresia ani is a rare congenital anomaly of the rectum and anus. An additional anatomic abnormality that can be associated with atresia ani is a fistula between the urogenital tract and rectum. After appropriate surgical procedures, the puppy recovered and defaecation via the anus was restored.

Obstructive Sleep

Aplasia of the epiglottis is a rare laryngeal anomaly. We present a case of absence of the epiglottis in a child whose clinical course has been followed for nine years. She required a tracheostomy at two years of age for obstructive sleep apnea which resulted in heart failure; she was eventually decannulated at age seven. This case report highlights the clinical challenges faced in the identification and treatment of the sequelae of this defect. Both endoscopic and computed tomography (CT) documentation are provided. Embryological development and a review of the literature are also discussed.

Background. Single coronary artery (SCA) is a rare congenital anomaly in which there is an isolated coronary artery that arises from a single coronary ostium and provides coronary blood supply to the entire myocardium. SCA is classified into different types based on the origin, branching pattern, and course. Although the majority of patients with SCA are asymptomatic, some patients can present with life-threatening symptoms. Aim. To examine the prevalence, anatomical distribution, and outcome of the single coronary artery anomaly detected on coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) in a single center in Oman. Methods. Retrospectively, we reviewed 4,445 patients who underwent coronary computed tomography angiography between September 2012 and August 2018 at the National Heart Center, Muscat, Oman. We identified patients with a single coronary artery, and we evaluated the origin, course, and outcome of SCA. Results. We found 12 patients with single coronary artery among 4,445 patients with a mean age of 56.4 years (age range: 34 to 71 years; male : female ratio: 5 : 7). The most common class was RIII-C seen in 4 patients. Other SCA included RII-C, RII-A, and RII-S, two in each class. One patient had RI and one had LII-P. Two patients had coronary artery bypass graft. No major adverse cardiac events were reported over a mean follow-up of 25.3 months. Conclusion. Single coronary artery (SCA) is a rare congenital anomaly classified into different types. In our study, the prevalence of SCA was 0.27% that is higher than the figures from previous reports.

Agenesis Of Dorsal Pancreas

ABSTRACT Agenesis of dorsal pancreas (ADP) is an extremely rare congenital anomaly that results from defective development of pancreas. Most ADP patients are asymptomatic; if symptomatic, they present with epigastric pain. About half of affected individuals develop diabetes mellitus (DM), resulting from reduced islet cell mass secondary to the absence of endocrine structures. Being very rare, it is generally not kept in mind while dealing these cases and are not suspected until imaging investigations are not done. In our case study, ADP was diagnosed during evaluation of the patient for recurrent pain abdomen and generalized weakness. How to cite this article Jain A, Singh M, Dey S, Kaura A, Diwakar G.

Congenital Agenesis

Pulmonary agenesis is a rare congenital anomaly, the etiology of which is not clearly known. Other systemic comorbidities such as cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, musculoskeletal, and urogenital system anomalies can be observed in more than half of the patients. It is usually diagnosed during childhood. Diagnosis in adulthood is very rare. We present a case of pulmonary agenesis diagnosed in an adult.

Abstract A case of an abnormal loop of the vertebral artery compressing both the cervicomedullary junction and the accessory nerve is reported. The embryological development of the vertebrobasilar system may explain this anatomical anomaly. The possibility of an abnormal location of the vertebral artery may complicate the lateral C1-C2 puncture for myelography. Only five similar cases have been reported previously, but none of them presented any clinical symptomatology, and surgical treatment was never required. The present patient was cured by microvascular decompression. The pathogenetic and surgical implications are discussed in light of the literature.
