Cyst Cavity

Colonic duplication cysts are a rare congenital abnormality commonly presenting before two years of age. In adults, it has been rarely reported, most often as an incidental finding. We report a case of 42-year-old female complaining of constipation and lower abdominal pain. Patient’s CT scan of the abdomen showed a cystic lesion at hepatic flexure and the diagnosis was confirmed endoscopically using endoscopic ultrasound (EUS). The cyst was treated employing hot snare to expose the cyst cavity. On our literature search, there have been no reported cases of colonic duplication cyst treated endoscopically. We here discuss incidence, diagnosis, characteristics, and treatment of duplication cysts with special emphasis on endoscopic therapy.

Space Occupying Lesion

Splenogonadal fusion (SGF) is a rare congenital abnormality in which there is a fusion between spleen and gonad. Approximately 150 cases have been described in world literature. SGF can be continuous, where there is a connection between ectopic and orthotopic spleen, and discontinuous, with no connection. In our paper we report a case of SGF in a 36-year-old female with ultrasound and MR findings of space-occupying lesion in lower abdomen, and a review of the literature.

Rare Congenital Abnormality

Splenogonadal fusion is a rare congenital abnormality. In this case report, the diagnosis of splenogonadal fusion was made after the removal of an abnormal mass at ‘routine’ left herniotomy. A cautious approach at surgery resulted in no apparent damage to the testicle. A short review of the literature is included.

We present a review of the literature, including associated gene abnormalities.

Double Orifice

Double orifice mitral valve is a very rare congenital abnormality. Well known associations of this pathology with other congenital lesions point to a complex and central pathophysiological mechanism leading to a sequence of pathologies. These associations have long been realized and arbitrarily defined as Shone complex. We would like to present a 21-year-old patient with double orifice mitral valve associated with bicuspid aortic valve, with a brief review of the literature on possible central mechanisms leading to different subsets of congenital abnormalities involving these two.

Work Up

We report on 2 patients in whom a cystic dilation of the conus medullaris was incidentally found at MR imaging carried out in the work-up for sciatica. The cysts were well circumscribed and had signal intensity identical to the CSF on both T1- and T2-weighted images. There was no evidence of contrast enhancement. None of the patients had specific symptoms related to the spinal cord. At surgery, no evidence of malignancy was seen in any of the patients. A benign cystic dilation, also called dilated ventriculus terminalis, occasionally can be seen in the conus medullaris as an incidental finding at thoracolumbar MR imaging. Unless the expansion per se indicates cyst drainage, these patients may be monitored by clinical and MR follow-up, avoiding surgery in a substantial number of cases.

A 37-year-old woman presented with a few days’ history of lower abdominal pain and an incidental finding of hypercalcaemia. A thorough workup ensued, and the cause was found to be an exceptionally rare ovarian tumour—ovarian small cell carcinoma of the hypercalcaemic type. Acute treatment of hypercalcaemia consisted of aggressive intravenous fluids and bisphosphonates. She underwent surgery to remove the tumour and is currently receiving systemic platinum/etoposide chemotherapy combination to be followed by pelvic radiotherapy. This case highlights the wide range of differential diagnosis for hypercalcaemia and the importance of a stepwise and thorough approach during investigations. We discuss the pathophysiology of malignancy-related hypercalcaemia, focusing especially on parathyroid hormone-related peptide-associated hypercalcaemia.

Rare Congenital Abnormality

PURPOSE: To illustrate the radiological findings and review the current literature concerning a rare congenital abnormality of the posterior arch of the atlas. CASE REPORT: An adult female without neurological symptoms presented with an absent posterior arch of the atlas, examined with plain films and helical computerized tomography. Complete agenesis of the posterior arch of the atlas is a rare entity that can be easily identified by means of plain films. Although it is generally asymptomatic, atlantoaxial instability and neurological deficits may occur because of structural instability. Computerized tomography provides a means of assessing the extent of this abnormality and can help evaluate the integrity of neural structures. Although considered to be rare entities, defects of the posterior arch of the atlas may be discovered as incidental asymptomatic findings in routine cervical radiographs. Familiarity with this abnormality may aid medical professionals in the correct management of these cases.

Methods Of Treatment

Paraurethral or Skene’s duct cysts are a rare congenital abnormality in the female neonate and are characterised by a round, yellow or orange-coloured cystic mass on either side of the urethra meatus. Excision, marsupialization and needle aspiration of the cyst are all effective methods of treatment. However, spontaneous resolution has also been observed as reported in the present case.
