Background. Sprengel's deformity is a rare congenital anomaly of the shoulder girdle. The deformity is due to failure of descent of the scapula in intrauterine life.Case Presentation. We report a case of unilateral Sprengel's deformity associated with several other musculoskeletal and renal disorders consisting of absence of pectoralis major, weakness of trapezius and serratus anterior muscles, one kidney agenesis, and severe hydronephrosis of the other kidney in a 7-year-old boy.Conclusion. Sprengel's deformity can be associated with other musculoskeletal abnormalities and it is much more than a cosmetic problem.

Abstract Background Cor triatriatum dexter is an extremely rare congenital anomaly, and in most cases, without hemodynamic significance. Congenital cytomegalovirus infection is the most common viral infection, the majority of infected infants being asymptomatic and only 5-15% being symptomatic in the neonatal period. Case report We present the case of a female infant, aged 3 months. Clinical examination reveals cranial and facial anomalies. The karyotype was normal. Laboratory tests revealed the presence of anti-CMV antibodies in urine. Imaging studies showed cerebral and renal anomalies. Echocardiographic exam revealed a congenital anatomical feature without hemodynamic significance - cor triatriatum dexter. Conclusions although cytomegalovirus infection is mostly asymptomatic, it can present as a complex pathological association, in which a congenital cardiac anatomical feature without hemodynamic significance, considered by some authors as an anatomical variant, can appear

Histological Result

Abstract Background Congenital prepubic sinus (CPS) is a rare congenital anomaly and widely thought to be a variant of urethral duplication. Histological examination of this case gives a clue to this theory. CPS with dorsal penile curvature has been reported in previous publications, but their procedures to correct the curvature are different from this case. Case presentation A 10-year-old boy complained of the pain in the dorsal base of the penis. Physical examination revealed an accessory meatus located in the midline of the dorsal proximal penis and moderate dorsal penile curvature with deficient dorsal foreskin. Imaging examination showed that the meatus did not communicate with either normal urethra or urinary bladder, and ended blindly at the level of the symphysis pubis. The intact 4-cm-long sinus was completely separated and excised. Penile curvature was corrected after the dorsal proximal fibrous cord was detached. Histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of urethral duplication. Conclusions The histological result of this case supports the theory that CPS is a variant of the dorsal urethra. Moreover, this case indicates that the curvature in patients with CPS may be caused by the dorsal fibrous cord at the beginning and the operation should be conducted at an early age to avoid further development of the curvature during puberty.

Abstract Objectives We are presenting a unique case of severe laryngo-tracheo-esophageal cleft in a preterm infant who remained asymptomatic for several days after birth. Laryngo-tracheo-esophageal cleft (LTEC) is a rare congenital anomaly, representing approximately 0.2–1.5% of congenital laryngeal malformations [Merei JM, Hutson JM. Embryogenesis of tracheo esophageal anomalies: a review. Pediatr Surg Int 2002;18:319–26]. There is an abnormal, posterior, sagittal communication between the larynx and the pharynx, which may extend downward between the trachea and the esophagus. Case presentation We report a case of LTEC in a preterm newborn whose mother had severe polyhydramnios. A preterm 34-week gestation female newborn was born in our institution whose mother had severe polyhydramnios during third trimester. She was postnatally diagnosed to have type 3 LTEC by the 19th day after birth. In the presence of a large common tracheo-esophageal cavity, the baby did not develop aspiration or respiratory distress despite feeding from birth. Conclusions This case report illustrates the many factors and the probable mechanisms involved in preventing aspiration.

Abstract Background Fetus in fetu is a rare congenital anomaly. Its incidence is 1/500,000 births. So, pediatric surgeons may encounter this pathology only once or twice during their professional careers. Case presentation We present a rare case of a fetus extracted from the small intestinal mesentery of a healthy neonate who was explored after delivery. The extracted fetal mass included a fully differentiated skull and limbs with a celomic cavity. The fetal mass was supplied by a main feeding vessel branching from the superior mesenteric artery. Conclusion Fetus in fetu, despite being a rare variant, must be kept in mind when dealing with a neonatal abdominal mass showing bony parts on radiography.

Hysteroscopic Resection

A 23-year-old girl presented with severe cyclical lower abdominal pain during menstruation since menarche, which had increased since the last 4 years. Transabdominal ultrasound showed adnexal mass with no internal vascularity; MRI reported it as bicornuate uterus with one non-communicating right uterine horn with haematometra. On hysteroscopy there was evidence of septate uterus communicating only to the left ostia. Ultrasonography-guided hysteroscopic resection of septa with drainage of haematometra was done. Patient is presently asymptomatic.

Neurological Development

Neural tube defects result from failure of neural tube fusion during early embryogenesis, the fourth week after conception. The spectrum of severity is not uniform across the various forms of this congenital anomaly as certain presentations are not compatible with extrauterine life (anencephaly) while, on the other hand, other defects may remain undiagnosed as they are entirely asymptomatic (occult spina bifida). We report a child with previously normal neurological development, a devastating clinical course following superinfection of a subtle spina bifida defect which resulted in a flaccid paralysis below the level of the lesion and permanent neurological deficits following resolution of the acute infection and a back closure surgery.
