Spontaneous intravesical knotting of infant feeding tube: a rare case report

Infant Feeding tube is universally used in Paediatric Patients for many diagnostic as well as therapeutic purposes. Intravesical knotting of IFT is rare but having significant morbidity. We here present such a rare case report in 6 month old patient treated endoscopically. Sometimes it is very difficult to remove knotting with various techniques discussed later, but it may cause more trauma to urethra. There are only few reported cases worldwide about it in few journals. But Endoscopic removal being safe among all. In such Urological Emergency, always early Identification is most important to prevent further complications. As neonate and infant’s urethra is small compared to the available smallest Foley catheter (8Fr), a 5 Fr and 8 Fr feeding tubes are practical alternatives to drain urine from the bladder. Intravesical catheter knotting of small feeding tubes placed as urinary diversion from the bladder is rare. The first case of catheter knotting in a pediatric patient was reported in 1976.

Opitz Syndrome

Bohring–Opitz syndrome also known as Opitz C syndrome or Oberklaid–Danks syndrome is a rare syndrome. We are reporting a 2 months old male child with Bohring-Opitz like syndrome with all classical features and eventration of diaphragm (left side) which has not been reported yet with this syndrome. To our knowledge, a total of 23 cases with this syndrome have been reported in the medical literature to date and this is probably the first case report from India. Although there is overlap, a clinical distinction from the Bohring-Opitz syndrome and other syndromes seems possible, and thus a specific causal entity may be postulated.

Life Threatening

Idiopathic aplastic anemia is a pancytopenia disorder that is a rare but life threatening for both mother and fetus during pregnancy. Association of aplastic anemia with pregnancy is unclear but considered to be interrelated. Bone marrow transplantation is the most effective treatment for adult aplastic anemia but is inadvisable to perform during pregnancy because of the teratogenic effect of immunosuppressive agents or radiation therapy to the growing fetus. Supportive care, withdrawal from offending drugs and involving erythrocytes and platelets transfusion is a promising way to save the life. Here author present a case report of 36-year-old lady with idiopathy aplastic anemia. In this case medical investigation revealed severe anemia of unknown origin. The patient was treated with hematinics, blood transfusion and glucocorticoids. A healthy baby was delivered without evidence of hemolysis at her eight month and one week of pregnancy, the patient recovered and discharged with normal incidence. Being a rare case, it becomes a necessity to report such life-threatening disorder and management. Moreover, to our knowledge this is the first case reported of its kind from Jammu and Kashmir Division of India.

Embryonal Sarcoma

Undifferentiated embryonal sarcoma has been described in the liver, a rare malignant mesenchymal neoplasm, that occurs primarily in children and teenagers. Approximately 260 cases have been reported arising in the liver since 1978 when this disease was first described. Its pathogenesis is still obscure. Authors presented a case of extrahepatic undifferentiated embryonal sarcoma in a 9-year-old female presenting with upper abdominal dull pain. Ultrasound and CT Scan showed normal liver architecture, with liver pushed upwards due to compression by tumor arising in the retroperitoneum. To the best of our knowledge, this is first case of extrahepatic undifferentiated embryonal sarcoma diagnosed on cytomorphology and confirmed by histopathology and immunohistochemistry markers.

The Right

Radioulnar synostosis is a rare disease which causes supination and pronation restriction as a result of osseous or fibrous connections between the radius and ulna. Radioulnar synostosis includes both congenital and post-traumatic types. Post-traumatic radioulnar synostosis can be seen in the proximal, middle, and distal part of the forearm, depending on the location of the trauma. Congenital proximal radioulnar synostosis occurs as a result of a separation defect between the radius and ulna in the embryonic period. In the presence of congenital proximal radioulnar synostosis, the patient should be evaluated for accompanying syndromes and possible developmental anomalies. In this report, we present a rare case of both proximal and distal radioulnar synostosis. Hypoplasia of the right pectoral muscle mass, hypoplastic appearance of the right nipple, presence of proximal and distal radioulnar synostosis in the right forearm, and accompanying symbrachydactyly suggested Poland syndrome. To the best of our knowledge this is the first case of congenital proximal and distal radioulnar synostosis with Poland syndrome.

A term neonate developed respiratory distress, paradoxical cyanosis (relieved by crying) soon after birth. Inability to insert No.5 French infant feeding tube through the nose into the pharynx led to the diagnosis of Bilateral Choanal Atresia , which was confirmed by HRCT Scan of the nose. Insertion of an oropharyngeal tube reduced the respiratory distress. Extensive investigations did not reveal any other congenital anomaly. The baby was treated with Transnasal Surgery.
