Prompt Diagnosis

Introduction. Necrotizing soft tissue infection is a severe, life threatening infection, with high mortality rate, especially in patients with comorbidities. Case report. We are presenting a 53-year-old female patient with diabetes mellitus and a severe infection of the anterior abdominal wall resulting from a vulval infection. The treatment consisted of an extensive excision of the abdominal wall necrosis and surgical eradication of the deep infection source, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and antibiotic conservative therapy. Conclusion. Prompt diagnosis, aggressive medical treatment and radical surgical debridement, as soon as possible, are the key to successful treatment.

Introduction. Necrotizing Fasciitis is a rare, severe, aggressive infection, life-threatening surgical emergency that spreads quickly, characterized by extensive necrosis of the deep and superficial fascia, associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Case outline. We are presenting two case reports with Necrotizing Fasciitis: a 54-year-old male patient, obese, with hypertension and untreated perianal fistula with severe infection of perianal region, perineum and scrotum, and 64-year-old female patient with diabetes mellitus and heart disease, with severe infection of the lower extremity, anterior abdominal wall, inguinal and gluteal region, in which the entry point of infection were microlesions of the skin after shaving. Both patients were treated by emergency extensive surgical necrectomy with eradication of the deep infection source, with all conservative treatment measures. The first patient was treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy, the 2nd wasn't because of cardiac and pulmonary contraindications. Conclusion. Better treatment outcome requires a multidisciplinary approach (cardiologist, endocrinologist, nephrologist, orthopedist, surgeon). Rapid and extensive surgical necrectomy is necessary to increase the success of the treatment of patients with this infection.

AbstractRectus abdominis is a long strap like muscle that extends along the entire length of anterior abdominal wall. Normally the rectus abdominis arises by two tendons. The larger lateral tendon attached to the crest of the pubis, pubic tubercle up to pectineal line. The medial tendon is attached to the pubic symphysis. The fleshy fibers of rectus abdominis replaced by aponeurosis below the umbilicus was found during the routine dissections of a middle aged female cadaver at Dr. Pinnamaneni Siddhartha Medical College, Chinnavutapalli, Andhra Pradesh, India. The knowledge of partial or complete absence of rectus abdominis and other anterior abdominal wall musculature is of immense importance for the General surgeon, Anatomist and the Gastroenterologist.

Abstract Omphalopagus twins are one of many forms of conjoined twins sharing part of the gastrointestinal system and abdominal wall. This type of twins has the best chance of survival if successfully separated. Surgical approaches in these cases are generally preferably elective, but sometimes separation may be urgently needed due to life-threatening complications, such as hemodynamic instability, death of either twin, necrotizing enterocolitis, among many others. We report a case of successfully separated omphalopagus twins at day two of life.

A 29-year-old female had presented to surgical outpatient's department complaining of lump in the anterior abdominal wall. Ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a solid degenerated tumor in the anterior abdominal wall. It was surgically excised, and histopathology confirmed it to be “ancient” schwannoma. To our knowledge, this is the second reported case of an abdominal wall ancient schwannoma in the medical literature.
