The thyroid is a vascular endocrine gland with two lateral lobes connected by a narrow, median isthmus. Although a wide range of congenital anomalies of the thyroid gland has been reported in the literature, agenesis of the thyroid isthmus is a very rare congenital anomaly. Thyroid isthmus agenesis does not manifest clinical symptoms, and it can be confused with other thyroid pathologies. We describe a patient with no isthmus of the thyroid, associated with Graves-Basedow disease. Thyroid isthmus agenesis should be kept in mind in order for surgical procedures involving thyroid pathologies to be carried out safely.

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.

Klippel-Feil syndrome (KFS) is a rare congenital anomaly in forming the cervical vertebrae resulting in the fusion of two or more of the vertebrae. KFS is associated with many congenital anomalies, some of which are common and well known. Here, we report a child with an extremely rare association of KFS with situs inversus totalis (SIT). Both KFS and SIT are genetically heterogeneous and their co-occurrence suggests a high possibility of sharing the same underlying causative agent. Here, we review the genetic background that is known for these two conditions in the literature.

AbstractAnnular pancreas is a rare congenital anomaly that results from the malrotation of the ventral pancreatic bud. The presentation of annular pancreas varies: it can be asymptomatic or present clinical symptoms of duodenal obstruction that can affect all age groups, from newborns to adults. In the present case report, we describe a complete type of annular pancreas at the level of the second part of the duodenum, which was an incidental finding in a prosected specimen. This anomaly has significant clinical relevance to clinicians and radiologists due to its variable presentation. The embryological, clinical and radiological aspects of this congenital anomaly are discussed in detail in the present article.

Scimitar syndrome is a rare congenital anomaly seen as one of the components of congenital pulmonary venolobar syndrome. Simple and traditional investigation tools like CXR if interpreted with vigil can aid in prompt diagnosis and management of patients even in absence of clinical symptoms.

Duplication of the bladder is a very rare congenital anomaly that is usually associated with other congenital anomalies. We present 2 cases of babies with duplication of the bladder combined with other congenital anomalies. Abdominal sonography, genitography, lopography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed incomplete duplication of the bladder at coronal and sagittal plane and combined with other congenital anomalies. Cystourethroscopy confrm the diagnosis.

Ureteral quadruplication is an extremely rare congenital anomaly. It was first reported in 1975. The patients may present with different features and complications in respect to this congenital anomaly. They may also present with other congenital anomalies. Diagnosis sometimes is difficult and may need to be investigated with Magnetic Resonance Urogram, CT scan apart from routine investigations like ultrasonography and intravenous urogram. Surgical treatment should be based on the operative and investigational finding. We present the twelfth reported case but the first from Nepal. It was associated with a large ureteral cyst with diagnostic dilemma. Surgical exploration was done with a provisional diagnosis of large retroperitoneal cyst.J Nepal Paediatr Soc 2015;35(1):79-81

Annular pancreas is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by the presence of a pancreatic tissue of variable amount which completely or partially obstructs the second part of duodenum. It usually affects infancy, but in adulthood it can mimic a wide range of clinical entity. Gastrojejunostomy or duodenojejunostomy are common operations in adults because the duodenum is less mobile. We report a case of annular pancreas in a 60-year-old male that presented with clinical condition of gastric outlet obstruction and was successfully treated with a laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastrojejunostomy.

Adrenal Hypoplasia

Fusion of the adrenal glands is a rare congenital anomaly. The six cases described here were encountered in 3537 pediatric-perinatal autopsy cases. A fused adrenal was always associated with multiple congenital anomalies, including major central nervous system malformations in four cases, renal agenesis in three cases, anomalies of internal genitalia in three cases, and complex cardiac anomalies in two cases. The fused adrenal had either a horseshoe or butterfly shape. Neither adrenal hypoplasia nor hyperplasia appeared to be present, and the histologic appearance of the fused adrenal was normal in all cases.

AbstractA case is presented of a rare congenital anomaly of the fourth branchial arch, which presented as an abscess in the anterior triangle, related to a fistula communicating with the pyriform fossa. Histopathological examination showed the fistula to be associated with thyroid tissue supporting the hypothesis that the ventral wing of the fourth pouch contributes to the thyroid gland.

Ectopic thyroid is an uncommon embryological abnormality characterized by the presence of thyroid tissue in a site other than its usual pretracheal location. Of all ectopic thyroids 90% are found to be lingual. Lingual thyroid is estimated to occur in 0.2 per cent of normal children, being more common in females. It is a rare congenital anomaly appearing with prevalence of 1:100000. This embryological anomaly originates from failure of thyroid gland to descend from foramen caecum to its normal pre laryngeal site. Interestingly, only 0.01% of these patients present with any overt symptoms. If symptomatic: dyspnoea dysphagia, dysphonia and stomatolalia are some common clinical features associated with it. In females these symptoms manifest during stress as in pregnancy, puberty and menstruation. Some rare clinical presentations reported in literature are hyperthyroidism, malignancy and hemoptysis. Hereby authors are reporting a 7-year-old female child who presented to our department with dysphagia who on evaluation diagnosed to have lingual thyroid with hypothyroidism.
