The supernumerary nostril is an extremely rare congenital anomaly of duplication. A review of the literature shows that only 17 cases have been reported in the world. The supernumerary nostril in association with facial clefting is even more rare, with only three cases reported so far. We are reporting a case of supernumerary nostril in association with complete unilateral cleft lip without cleft palate, which happens to be the first case of its kind to be reported. Most supernumerary nostrils are situated superior to the normal nostrils and very few of them are situated at the same level or below the normal nostrils. In this case, the supernumerary nostril was placed lateral to the normal nostril.

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.

Bladder duplication is a rare congenital anomaly which occurs in the sagittal or coronal plane and it can be associated with other anomalies. It has been previously classified as complete duplication of the bladder and urethra or incomplete duplication with two bladders and common urethra. However, complete duplication of bladder with a single urethra has been rarely reported. Herein, we present a patient with a different variation of bladder duplication in the coronal plane with two urethras originating from the main bladder and associated glans diphallia.

Double gallbladder is a rare congenital biliary anomaly, but an accessory gallbladder arising from the left hepatic duct is a more remarkably rare congenital anomaly. We report a case of double gallbladder with adenocarcinoma and gallstones, which was preoperatively diagnosed by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and then confirmed by open laparotomy. A review of the literature is presented.

Ectrodactyly-ectodermal dysplasia-clefting syndrome is a rare congenital anomaly that affects tissues of mesodermal and ectodermal origin. Musculoskeletal involvement frequently requires orthopedic intervention. The authors present a review of the literature pertaining to this rare syndrome as well as a case report of a female patient who exhibited the complete clinical triad. A description of the surgical management of her condition is also presented.

Abstract We here discuss an interesting case of COVID-19 patient suffering from ruptured right supra-clinoid intracranial aneurysm with congenital absence of right ICA. COVID-19 has been responsible for over 175 million reported cases and over 3.8 million deaths world-wide. Severe cases of COVID-19 is characterized with cytokine outburst and hyperinflammation, platelet activation, endothelial dysfunction and sepsis related coagulopathy. This predisposes for thromboembolic events and aneurysm formation and rupture. Agenesis, aplasia and hypoplasia of internal carotid artery (ICA) is a rare congenital anomaly. ICA agenesis is associated with increased incidence of intracranial aneurysm as compared with general population.

Dental fusion of the primary dentition is a rare congenital anomaly. Evidence in the literature of bioarchaeology is scarce. Burial MS100-14 was recovered from Law’s Site on Pine Island, in Marshall County, Alabama. Analysis of the remains found that MS100-14 presented a clear case of triple fusion of primary dentition in the maxilla. This appears to be the first case of triple fusion reported from among prehistoric Native American remains in the Southeastern United States.

Background: Anterior sacral meningocele (ASM) is a rare congenital anomaly. It is characterized by herniation of the dura through a defect in the anterior sacrum. Rarely, however, it may extend to the rectal area through a rectothecal fistula with or without rectorrhea. Case Description: Here, we present a case of ASM associated with a rectothecal fistula and rectorrhea. Surgical closure of the ostium of the cyst through a posterior approach resulted in long-term improvement Conclusion: An ASM with both rectothecal fistula and rectorrhea is extremely rare.
