The udder is a very important organ and has economic value in dairy cattle. Though highly vulnerable to various disease conditions, e.g. mastitis, congenital anomalies in the udder are of rare occurrence (Dandale et al., 2013). Congenital abnormalities of the mammary system in cows comprise absence of teats, glands, supernumerary teats and imperforate teats. Absence of teat is extremely rare, but isolated cases in which the teats were only represented by slight eminences have been met with (O’ Connor, 1980). Athelia was reported in buffaloes by Sailendra and Sandhya (1998) and Vidyasagar (2009) and in a Japanese black heifer by Ghanem et al. (2011). In the present paper, a rare case of athelia in a Jersey crossbred cow and its therapeutic management by permanent cessation of lactation is reported.

Heterotopic renal tissue (HRT) in the wall of the colon is a very rare occurrence, with only five cases published. Our patient is only the second patient reported to have this abnormality in the absence of sirenomelia. We describe colonic HRT in a child, associated with multiple congenital anomalies. The congenital abnormalities were of the VACTERL type, accompanied by valvular cardiac anomalies that were clinically diagnosed as Shone syndrome. The HRT was not apparent clinically or grossly. Microscopically, multifocal islands of renal tissue consisting of glomeruli, cystically dilated tubules, and blastema were seen in all layers of the bowel, and simulated “cystic partially differentiated nephroblastoma.” Our case provides further support to the belief that VACTERL association and sirenomelia represent related entities.

Brain abscess is a serious life-threatening infection of the brain parenchyma. We are reporting a rare case of brain abscess caused by Group G Streptococcus in a 12 year-old female child who presented with neurological symptoms. She was diagnosed with congenital anomalies of the heart at birth. She was treated with amoxyclav and ciprofloxacin. The child recovered and was discharged uneventfully.

Multiple Congenital Abnormalities

The clinical findings are described in three siblings with a syndrome of microcephaly and multiple congenital abnormalities. All three infants had congenital anomalies of the limbs, described as flexion deformities. Infant 2 showed atrophic gyri and absence of the corpus callosum, with atrophy of cerebrum, cerebellum, and pons. Infant 2 exhibited unusual canine facies. Chromosomal studies were normal on infant 3 (leucocyte and skin cultures). Leucocyte cultures from the mother and father revealed no cytogenetic abnormality.

Head Neck

ABSTRACT Thyroglossal cyst is a congenital condition of the neck where the painless swelling is found in the midline of the neck in between the foramen cecum of tongue base and sternal notch. Condition is common in children. Thyroglossal fistula is either secondary to infection or drainage of a misdiagnosed abscess. Here we are presenting a case of thyroglossal fistula with its opening over the chest and a cord extending from the hyoid bone to the chest causing restriction of the neck movement. Thyroglossal fistula opening in the chest, i.e. over the sternum is very rare and not been reported in any literatures. Treatment of this type of thyroglossal fistula is same as other types, i.e. Sistrunk's operation, where tract along with part of the hyoid bone is to be removed to prevent recurrence. We are reporting this case for its rare occurrence. How to cite this article Rout MR, Mohanty D, Bobba K, Meta C, Karri S. Presternal Thyroglossal Fistula: A Rare Case Report.

Intracranial extension of acquired cholesteatoma is a rare occurrence that can develop secondary to trauma, chronic otitis media or acquired aural cholesteatoma. The most commonly observed symptoms are headache and hearing loss. The authors report on a rare case of intracranial cholesteatoma presenting with atypic symptoms: swelling and temporomandibular joint disorders.

Delays In Diagnosis

Isolated torsion of fallopian tube is a rare occurrence. Diagnostic difficulty gets compounded in adolescents because the most commonly used imaging study in young, usually sexually inactive, population is transabdominal ultrasonography which may show normal ovaries, leading clinicians to abandon a diagnosis of adnexal torsion. Other imaging modalities such as CT scan or MRI are less useful for a rapid diagnosis because of the risk of radiation exposure, cost, or lack of ready availability. Delays in diagnosis may increase the likelihood of necrosis of the fallopian tube which would result in salpingectomy as was the case in our case report. Here authors present one such case, wherein one 12 year old girl who attained menarche at 10 years of age presented with acute paraumblical pain and vomiting without any fever, bowel and bladder disturbances. On examination there was tenderness in right iliac fossa. Her USG report was unremarkable. She initially was put-on broad-spectrum antibiotics but without any amelioration of symptoms. Diagnosed as appendicitis by surgeon, she was taken up for laparoscopic appendicectomy. However, it turned out to be a case of fallopian tube torsion, wherein the tube had become gangrenous for which salpingectomy was done.

Unusual Injury

Avulsion fracture of the tibial tuberosity is an infrequent injury in adolescents and an extremely rare occurrence in adults. We describe the case of an 86-year-old gentleman presenting after a fall, sustaining injury to the left knee. Radiographs of the left knee showed avulsion fracture of the tibial tuberosity. The purpose of this study was to present a rare case of tibial tuberosity avulsion fracture in an adult, the treatment performed, and the challenges faced. The case is discussed with the review of the literature.
