Stump appendicitis in a 2 year-old patient. Case report and literature review

La apendicitis del muñón es una causa poco común de abdomen agudo quirúrgico en niños, razón por la cual su diagnóstico no se sospecha con frecuencia. Este artículo reporta el caso de un paciente de dos años admitido en el servicio de urgencias por vómito, dolor abdominal y fiebre.Al ingreso, el paciente presentaba taquicardia, taquipnea, distensión abdominal y dolor difuso a la palpación del abdomen; los laboratorios evidenciaban leucocitosis, trombocitosis y elevación de la PCR. Inicialmente, se consideró obstrucción intestinal con base en antecedentes de peritonitis secundaria a una apendicitis perforada; sin embargo, debido al deterioro hemodinámico y al aumento del dolor abdominal, fue llevado a laparotomía exploratoria de urgencia.Durante el procedimiento se encontró peritonitis generalizada con apendicitis de la base, perforación intestinal, múltiples adherencias y, de forma incidental, un divertículo de Meckel. Se realizaron las intervenciones quirúrgicas correspondientes, y por su grave estado, fue hospitalizado en la unidad de cuidados intensivos (UCI), en donde recibió tratamiento con antibiótico de amplio espectro por 14 días y varios lavados peritoneales; por último, el paciente fue dado de alta satisfactoriamente.Aunque la apendicitis del muñón no es una causa frecuente de abdomen agudo, es necesario considerarla en aquellos pacientes con antecedentes de apendicitis y que ingresan por dolor abdominal, ya que la demora en el tratamiento se asocia con mayor morbilidad y aumento en los costos de atención.

Child Patient

The ameloblastic fibro-odontoma (AFO) is a mixed odontogenic tumor, with characteristics of ameloblastic fibroma, presenting enamel and dentin, which occurs more frequently in individuals aged 5 to 17 years. This paper reports na extensive case of ameloblastic fibro-odontoma in the mandible of a 3-year-old patient, discussed in comparison to cases selected from a brief literature review on the clinical characteristics, Evolution and therapeutic options for this lesion. In the last years, there was no consensus in the literature concerning its etiopathogenesis and classification, yet recently the AFO was classified as a developing odontoma. This case is in accordance with the 7 cases reported in the literature of AFO in the mandible of children aged 10 years or younger, especially concerning the lesion pattern and evolution and treatment adopted. The patient did not present relapse and exhibited local bone regeneration at the 3-year follow-up.

Rare Congenital Disorder

AbstractAblepharon macrostomia syndrome (AMS) is a rare congenital disorder. To our knowledge, only 20 cases have been reported to date, and all in patients from Western countries. We report a case of AMS in a Thai patient, who presented at age 3 months with severe ectropion of both upper and lower eyelids, alopecia totalis, no palpable clitoris, and hypoplasia of both labia minora and labia majora. Trio whole exome sequencing analysis was performed, which revealed a heterozygous missense c.223G>A (p.Glu75Lys) variation in TWIST2. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of AMS in a patient from Thailand and the first reported case of AMS in Asia.
