spontaneous gastric perforation in paediatric patients beyond the neonatal age is seldom to seen by paediatric surgeon. Therefore we are sharing this case with enlisting the previously reported similar cases in English literature. a three year old male child presented with abdominal distension and hypovolemic shock. Free gas under diaphragm was explained the perforation and exploration confirm the gastric perforation. spontaneous gastric perforation is extremely rare in paediatric age group beyond the neonatal age group, but incidence probability is always there. So, each laparotomy needed exploration of stomach also.

Chronic relapsing pancreatitis in the paediatric age group is a challenging case, especially when presenting in its acute exacerbation. This case report highlights the management of chronic relapsing pancreatitis in a 9-year-old female patient with homoeopathic treatment. The patient reported a year-long history of recurrent fever, abdominal pain, and raising titres of lipase and amylase; she had been admitted to a higher centre twice. The totality was constructed on day 1 and a homoeopathic remedy was prescribed. Detailed case taking, done after a week, confirmed the same remedy. Later, when the patient had an acute exacerbation, the same remedy-frequently repeated, helped settle the acute episode in a couple of days. The patient has been following up regularly for 3 years; the frequency and intensity of relapses reduced considerably over time and there have been no episodes for more than a year.

Background: Congenital pouch colon (CPC) is a rare variant of high anorectal malformation. More and more varied associations of CPC with other entities are being added to the literature. Case presentation: A 1-day-old male baby presented to the emergency room with marked abdominal distension and absent anal opening. On exploration, the baby was found to have CPC (Type 2) with colonic atresia. This association has not been reported in English literature. Conclusion: This is a report of a case of type 2 CPC with colonic atresia. To the best of our knowledge, such an association has not been reported so far. The final embryological outcome is dictated both by the topography and timing of vascular insult.

Ingestion of foreign body occurs commonly in the paediatric age group particularly between 6 months and 5 years of age.1 Most ingested foreign objects pass smoothly through the oesophagus, into the stomach and are expelled from the body without complications. However, 10% –20% will require endoscopic removal to avoid complications. We present the endoscopic removal of a peg pin in the duodenum of a four-year-old child.

Prostate abscess (PA) is an uncommon clinical manifestation that typically presents in the fifth to sixth decade of age and sporadically affects neonates. These characteristics, coupled with the atypical presentation, represent a clinical dilemma and a challenging diagnosis. A detailed history depicting the clinical course and the presence of risk factors is imperative to alert the clinician of the possibility of a PA. In this case report, we present a surgically confirmed PA, a diagnosis that is rarely encountered within the paediatric age group.

Foreign body in the tracheobronchial tree is an emergency commonly affecting the paediatric age group. A delay in diagnosis and removal may cause high morbidity and mortality. We report a case of a 1-year-6-month-old presenting with multiple peanuts aspirated into both lungs, ultimately resulting in death due to cardiopulmonary complications. The aim of the case report is to highlight the importance of thorough history-taking from parents, intraoperative suspicion of more than a single aspirated foreign body, and meticulous measurements taken to minimise extraction time.
