Prune belly syndrome (PBS) is a rare congenital anomaly characterized in males by a triad of anomalous genitourinary tract, deficient development of abdominal wall muscles, and bilateral cryptorchidism. Although similar anomalies have been reported in females, by definition they do not full fill the classical triad. Urorectal septum malformation sequence (URSM) is a lethal condition characterized by presence of ambiguous genitalia, absent perineal openings (urogenital and anal), and lumbosacral abnormalities. In this original case report, the authors discuss the presentation and management of what would be analogous to a Woodhouse category 1 PBS in a female newborn associated with an overlapping presentation of URSM.

Prune belly syndrome (PBS) is a rare congenital anomaly almost exclusive to males defined by the triad of abdominal muscle deficiency, severe urinary tract abnormality and cryptorchidism. The syndrome has a broad spectrum of affected anatomy with different levels of severity. We report a newborn boy with PBS. Diagnosis was confirmed by karyotyping, ultrasound investigation and intraoperative findings.

Objective: to acquaint doctors of various specialties with clinical course, early diagnostics, and treatment strategy for a rare congenital anomaly — Prune Belly syndrome in children. Materials and methods. Inpatient medical records of municipal non-profit enterprise «Ivano-Frankivsk Regional Children's Clinical Hospital» of Ivano-Frankivsk Regional Council. Results. The paper presents the clinical course of a rare congenital anomaly — Prune Belly syndrome in two children. The disease occurs chiefly among boys manifesting itself as multiple congenital malformations including deficiency or aplasia of abdominal muscles, congenital anomalies of the kidneys and urinary tract (hydronephrosis, megaureter, hydroureter, megacystis, vesicoureteral reflux), bilateral cryptorchidism. In addition, Prune Belly syndrome can coexist with urethral pathology, as well as skeletal, cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal malformations. Conclusion. Modern views on the development, clinical course, and diagnosis of a rare congenital disease with multiple organ malformations — Prune Belly syndrome have been presented for doctors of various specialties. Prenatal diagnosis, detection of potential congenital malformations after birth allows selecting the correct algorithm for monitoring vital organ functions, syndromic treatment and making timely decision on internal organ transplantation. The study was carried out in accordance with the ethical principles of the Declaration of Helsinki. The study protocol was approved by the Local Ethics Committee of municipal non+profit enterprise «Ivano-Frankivsk Regional Children's Clinical Hospital» of Ivano-Frankivsk Regional Council. The informed consent to participate in the research study was obtained from all the children's parents. Conflict of Interest. The authors declare they have no conflict of interest. Key words: children, Prune Belly syndrome, diagnosis, therapy.

Congenital metacarpal synostosis is a rare congenital anomaly in the hand, especially in our area. There were several reports of surgical techniques for correction deformities. We report this rare condition in our hospital and treatment with the metacarpal osteotomy and double bone blocks technique of grafting.

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.

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.
