Congenital Trans mesenteric Hernia (CTMH) is a rare entity of internal hernia that occur as a congenital defect in children due to an error in the rotation of the midget, presenting usually with an abdominal pain, fever and bilious vomiting. However, if left untreated, disastrous outcomes such as acute bowel obstruction and strangulation can take place. Its diagnosis is sometimes challenging to physicians and requires exploratory laparotomy to confirm the presence of a hernia defect. CT scan prior to surgery is seldom needed and may not have a benefit to guide for the exact diagnosis. For treatment, surgical repair, either open or laparoscopic, is the procedure of choice to manage such a condition. We report a case of CTMH in a 3.5–year-old female patient who presented to our hospital with abdominal pain and inconsolable crying.

Polycystic (dysgenetic) disease of the salivary glands is a rare entity that has only recently been described in the literature. The disease is more commonly seen in females and majority of the cases have presented as bilateral parotid gland swellings. This case presenting in a 21-year-old male is the first of this unusual entity involving solely the minor salivary gland on the lower lip. This case report highlights the importance for the clinician to be aware of this differential diagnosis, when treating an innocuous lesion like a mucocele.

AbstractSchwannomas are benign tumors, which arise from the Schwann cells of the central or peripheral nerves. They form 8% of all intracranial tumors and most of the cases arise from vestibular division of the 8th cranial nerve. Rare cases are shown to arise from the olfactory or optic nerve, being devoid of myelin sheath. Up to date and according to our best of knowledge, 66 cases have been reported till now. Here we present a review of the literature and a case report of a 56-year-old male with an accidently discovered anterior cranial fossa schwannoma, following a road traffic accident. Tumor was completely excised, using a right frontal approach. Histopathology revealed Antoni-A cellular pattern. Although rare, but olfactory nerve schwannomas should be included in the differential diagnosis in anterior cranial fossa space occupying lesions, and the approach should be designed taking into consideration, this rare entity.
