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 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

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.

Duplication of urethra is a rare congenital anomaly that has been reported in case reports and case series. A Y-shaped urethral duplication is the rarest variant as per the classification suggested and hence lacks a standardized treatment option. We report a case of Y-duplication of urethra diagnosed during neonatal age and presented to us at nine years of age. The patient had undegone a vesicostomy at seventh day of life for passing urine per anus and was lost to follow up thereafter. An attempt at disconnection of the duplicated urethral tract to anus after colostomy, at eight years of age had failed. The patient was managed successfully by progressive dilatation of the orthotopic urethra, which required multiple stages, followed by separation of the urethra from the rectum. At three years follow up the patient is continent and asymptomatic. Keywords: Y duplication of the urethra; PADUA technique; Rectourinary fistula; Urethral duplication.

Rare Congenital Anomaly

Duplication of the urethra is a rare congenital anomaly. Urethral duplication with the presence of diverticulum is a rare combination and to the best of our knowledge has  not been previously reported. We report a case of a 16 month old male child with duplication of the urethra and diverticulum arising from the ventral urethra. We also cover the intricacies and challenges in the management of such a case.The opening of the narrowed accessory dorsal urethra at the verumontanum was cauterized and gradually the dorsal urethra became atrophied. The ventral urethral diverticulum was excised. This case is unique due to:The unusual presentation of swelling over the dorsum of the penis, together with duplication of the urethra with diverticulum.The use of cauterization as a treatment modality. Cauterization of the ventral urethra with a Bugbee electrode and diverticulectomy was performed. A glidewire helped in identifying the small opening of the dorsal urethra at the level of the verumontanum. The case also highlights the importance of endoscopic management of this clinical entity.

AbstractDuplication of the urethra is a rare congenital anomaly, with approximately 300 cases reported in the literature. We report a unique case of this condition in a male infant. This case differs from the classical Effman type II-A2 duplication because of the presence of two hypospadic urethral meati, as opposed to a ventral or dorsal accessory meatus with a normally positioned distal urethra. The patient underwent a single-stage repair consisting of a proximal urethra-urethral anastomosis and distal urethral tubularization at 21 months of age with excellent results in terms of both function and cosmesis.

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.

Rare Congenital Anomaly

Congenital prepubic sinus (CPS) is a very rare congenital anomaly. The baby generally present with discharge from an opening situated in midline below umbilicus to root of penis in male or clitoris in female child. The etiology of this congenital anomaly is not exactly known. There is debate in etiology as one theory support anomalous anterior abdominal wall closure and another support variant of dorsal urethral duplication. Here we are presenting the six cases of CPS with their management and brief discussion on theories that have been proposed for their etiology.
