Rare Form

Morgagni hernia is a rare form of diaphragmatic hernia. It is a congenital defect of the diaphragm, often asymptomatic in adulthood and thus usually found only incidentally. Its treatment is predominantly surgical. This article presents three case reports of patients operated in our department.

Determining Factor

Diagnosis of primary or idiopathic spontaneous pneumothorax is one of exclusion, and in fact defines an entity that may have a difficult or impossible cause to be highlighted by current means, we consider it appropriate to study these etiopathogenic aspects. There is a definite association between alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency and pulmonary emphysema and indirect spontaneous pneumothorax secondary to an emphysematous pulmonary lesion. Dose of alpha-1 antitrypsin is an immunoturbinimetric method for in vitro determination of alpha-1 antitrypsin in human serum and plasma. This product is calibrated to be used for the Daytona RX analyzer. The serum level of alpha-1-antitrypsin is not a determining factor in the postoperative evolution characterized by the interval until air loss disappears, but certainly exerts some influence, the exact level of which remains to be determined.

Anal Opening

Atresia ani is a congenital defect that describes the absence of a normal anal opening. It is fatal unless a surgical correction is carried out to provide an anal opening. In female, the rectum may break through the vagina, forming a rectovaginal fistula permitting defecation via the vulva. Surgical treatment of atresia ani is indicated to save the animal’s life and to improve body weight gain. Intestinal atresia has been reported as a congenital defect in all species of domestic animals (Gass and Tibboel, 1980). Atresia ani may be caused by genetic disorders (chromosomes or transgenesis), environmental factors, or a combination of both (Cassini et al., 2005). Monsang et al. (2011) reported a case of double vulva with atresia ani in a crossbred calf. Atresia ani should be treated by a surgical operation to solve the problem, improve body weight gain, and reduce economic loss. The present report records a case of atresia ani in a crossbred cow-calf and its successful surgical correction.

Abstract Background In many cases, the cause of exercise-induced cardiopulmonary arrest in young persons is thought to be fatal arrhythmia, and one of the causes is ischaemic heart disease. Left main coronary artery atresia (LMCAA) is an extremely rare disease in which there is a congenital defect of the left main coronary artery, causing heart failure and exercise-induced angina attacks at a young age. Thus, it is disease that should be differentiated when examining young persons with chest pain. Case summary A 16-year-old boy experienced sudden cardiopulmonary arrest during soccer practice, was brought to our hospital for emergency treatment after return of spontaneous circulation. Elective coronary angiography revealed findings indicating an osmium defect in the left coronary artery (LCA) and blood flow via collateral circulation from the right coronary artery. Contrast-enhanced coronary computed tomography (CT) angiography showed a defect in the LCA ostium and LMCAA was diagnosed in the patient. After coronary artery bypass grafting was performed, but the patient was discharged in an ambulatory state with a wearable cardiac defibrillator. Postoperative course has been favourable. Discussion Left main coronary artery atresia is an extremely rare disease in which there is a congenital defect of the left main trunk of the coronary artery and should be differentiated when encountering cases of heart failure or exercise-induced angina/arrhythmia attacks in young persons who are not at risk for atherosclerosis. Exercise electrocardiogram may show a false negative result, and therefore coronary CT is useful for diagnosis.
