Fetus in fetu is an extremely rare developmental anomaly, due to disorganised embryogenesis in a diamniotic monochorionic pregnancy. Approximately 87 reports have been documented in the literature to date. We describe such an entity in two months old boy, who presented with abdominal distension and features of obstruction. Plain X ray abdomen and CT scan helped in correct pre operative diagnosis. The literature on this rare entity is reviewed, and the diagnosis and pathogenesis of the disease are discussed.

Abstract Bilateral extradural haematomas [EDH] are rare and it is an uncommon consequense of cranio cerebral trauma. The mortality is higher than unilateral extradural haematoma and management of extradural haematomas requires careful planning, judicial surgical exposure and most important is timing of evacuation of extradural haematomas. Emergency evacuation of bilateral extradural haematomas were performed in this case with uneventful postoperative period. The pathophysiology and surgical nuances of this rare entity been discussed.

Background: Intramural hematoma of the duodenum is a rare cause of acquired duodenal obstruction. It is often a diagnostic dilemma and a high degree of suspicion is required to make an early and accurate diagnosis in children. Case Report: A 2-year-old child presented with bilious vomiting and abdominal distension. X-ray abdomen showed high intestinal obstruction. Ultrasound and CT scan abdomen gave suspicion of pancreatic pseudo-cyst near head of pancreas. At surgery, an intramural hematoma of the duodenum was found and drained. Conclusion: Intramural duodenal hematoma is a rare entity especially in children and should be considered in differential diagnosis of acquired duodenal obstruction.

Intracerebral haemorrhage is one of the uncommon initial CNS manifestations of choriocarcinoma in reproductive age group women. Disease is usually diagnosed by history, clinical examinations and investigations like CT scan of brain and chest, MRI of brain, USG, X-ray chest P/A view and high level of â-hCG in serum and CSF. Overall prognosis of this disease is generally good (80-90% long term survival with chemotherapy and radiotherapy). But intracranial metastasis has poor prognosis which comprises 3-28% of choriocarcinoma. Most intracranial metastasis occurs late in the course of disease but 20% experiences as first sign. Our patient is a teenager girl presented with convulsion and loss of consciousness. CT scan of brain revealed hemorrhage in right fronto-parietal region with ventricular extension, X-ray chest P/A view shows metastasis in mid zone of right lung, USG shows invasion in posterior myometrium and high concentration of serum â-hCG (273400 mUI/ ml) confirmed our diagnosis. This case report describes that the conservative treatment with radiotherapy and chemotherapy gives good outcome of with metastasic intracerebral haemorrhage with choriocarcinoma is rewarding with farther radio and chemotherapy.

Segmental Infarction

Segmental omental infarction (SOI) is a rare cause of acute abdominal pain. Depending on the site of infarction, it mimics conditions like appendicitis, cholecystitis, and diverticulitis. Before the widespread use of Computed Tomography (CT), the diagnosis was usually made intraoperatively. SOI produces characteristic radiological appearances on CT scan; hence, correct diagnosis using this form of imaging may prevent unnecessary surgery. We present the case of a young woman who was treated conservatively after accurate radiological diagnosis.

Abstract Macrodystrophia lipomatosa is a rare entity that is mostly diagnosed in children. It has been very rarely reported in adults. Here, we describe the X-ray and computed tomography findings in a case of macrodystrophia lipomatosa in an elderly female presenting with an enlarged second toe since birth and bony outgrowths causing pressure effects and cosmetic problems.

Fetus in fetu (FIF) is a very rare congenital malformation with an incidence of 1/500,000 live births. These children are often hospitalized because of vomiting, abdominal distension or abdominal mass found by their parents. The most common position for the parasitic fetus is the retroperitoneum but other position such as the scrotal sac, cranial cavity, sacrococcygeal region, back , oral cavity has been reported. FIF is often misdiagnosed as a mature teratoma. Ultrasound, CT, MRI are of great significance in distinguishing between FIF and teratoma. The postoperative pathological examination may reveal axial skeleton which can make a definitive diagnosis of FIF. In this report, we present a case of FIF in an 8-month-old girl.

Rare Finding

Hyponatremia secondary to malignancy is a rare finding. Syndrome of inappropriate ADH secretion in head and neck cancer patient can be a serious comorbidity leading to decline in the survival rate. However, most of the time it goes undetected at the outset. And the pathophysiology of this link is not clarified. This article highlights a case of SIADH developed in 40-yr-old man with oral cancer. Also, focusses on the importance of diagnosing it and rendering treatment at the earliest.
