Diagnostic Difficulties

Hernia arising from obturator canal is rare and it contributes to about less than 1% of incidence of all hernias. Diagnosing an obturator hernia clinically is a challenging one and nearly impossible. These hernias usually present as an intestinal obstruction as more than 50% of obturator hernias goes in for strangulation. Here, we report an unusual presentation of an obturator hernia in a 70-year-old woman who presented to emergency room with acute abdomen and uncomplicated reducible inguinal hernia. Radiological imaging showed obstructed inguinal hernia while on diagnostic laparoscopy, a strangulated and perforated obturator hernia of Richter’s type was seen in addition to an uncomplicated inguinal hernia. Obturator hernia, although very rare, is associated with high morbidity and mortality as it is often underdiagnosed as in our case. Laparoscopy bailed us out from missing out a perforation from an occult obturator hernia.

ABSTRACT Intestinal obstruction can be a result of diverse pathology depending upon the age of the patient. In the elderly, the most common cause appears to be malignancy or previous surgery. Inguinal hernia is another reason for acute intestinal obstruction, particularly in males. A rather rare cause of similar presentation in a female is obstructed obturator hernia. Due to its rarity and difficulty in diagnosis, most of the cases present late and, as a result, strangulation and necrosis of the bowel leads to high morbidity and mortality. We present a case of obstructed obturator hernia in a 80 years old female treated by laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) approach. How to cite this article Singh R, Bansal D, Aggarwal N.

A Rare case of heterotopic pancreatic tissue of ileum causing acute intestinal obstruction has been described with a brief review of literature. A 42 yr old male patient presented to the emergency department with features of acute intestinal obstruction. After evaluation patient was taken up for emergency laparotomy which revealed a band to be arising from ileum. Furthermore, there was a small growth in the ileal wall at the site of origin of the band. Hence resection of the growth was done and followed by ileoileal anastomosis. Later on, histopathological examination of the growth revealed it to be heterotopic pancreatic tissue. Heterotopic pancreatic tissue is often an incidental nding encountered in upper gastrointestinal tract during endoscopy and surgeries. But Symptomatic ectopic pancreas of ileum is relatively rare and they very rarely present with acute symptoms as in this case

A rare case of hydatid cyst of the left psoas muscle with a short account of the nosological, physiopathological and therapeutical aspects due to muscular echinococcosis is reported. The Authors particularly emphasize the diagnostic difficulties due to discrepancies between radiological imaging and serological data and specially recommend prudence in surgical management.

Mechanical Intestinal Obstruction

Obturator hernia is a rare type of pelvic hernia which generally occurs in elderly patients with accompanying diseases. Because it is difficult to diagnose before surgery, the morbidity and mortality rates for obturator hernia are high. The most common symptom is strangulation combined with mechanical intestinal obstruction.

A term male baby, after delivery, was found to have a 3-centimeter beefy-red mass protruding from the left chest wall, adjacent to the left nipple. Radiological imaging suggested it’s origin from the left lateral liver segment. A diagnostic laparoscopy confirmed the isolated connection to the liver, elevated left hemidiaphragm, and protrusion between the ribs. The mass was excised using electrocautery, and pathologic examination showed normal liver tissue.

BACKGROUND: Internal hernias are uncommon causes of acute abdomen and intestinal obstruction. Internal herniation due to appendices epiploicae is very rare with only six cases reported in the literature.CASE REPORT: We, herein, present the report of a 64-year-old female who presented with features of intestinal obstruction due to internal herniation of a loop of small intestine through an orifice formed by the fusion of two appendices epiploicae. The band was divided into release the entrapped loop of bowel.CONCLUSION: A high index of suspicion with prompt surgical intervention will improve outcome.

Introduction: Peripheral neuroblastic tumors (PNTs) account for 8%–10% of all pediatric tumors. Adrenal glands and sympathetic ganglia are the commonest site of tumor growth. In the clinicopathologic spectrum of PNTs, neuroblastoma and ganglioneuroma are the most primitive and the most mature tumor form, while ganglioneuroblastoma represents an intermediate state of maturation. Surgical resection is the therapy of choice in localized disease, but can lead to serious complications when performed in the presence of certain imaging-defined risk factors. Case presentation: We present a rare case of primary intrarenal ganglioneuroblastoma diagnosed in a teenager who underwent conservative surgery and, despite this, developed upper pole renal ischemia without loss of parenchymal function. Conclusion: We underline the complex management of these extremely rare cases of neuroblastic tumors, which require a dedicated multidisciplinary team.
