Scimitar syndrome is a rare congenital anomaly seen as one of the components of congenital pulmonary venolobar syndrome. Simple and traditional investigation tools like CXR if interpreted with vigil can aid in prompt diagnosis and management of patients even in absence of clinical symptoms.

Wide Range

The thyroid is a vascular endocrine gland with two lateral lobes connected by a narrow, median isthmus. Although a wide range of congenital anomalies of the thyroid gland has been reported in the literature, agenesis of the thyroid isthmus is a very rare congenital anomaly. Thyroid isthmus agenesis does not manifest clinical symptoms, and it can be confused with other thyroid pathologies. We describe a patient with no isthmus of the thyroid, associated with Graves-Basedow disease. Thyroid isthmus agenesis should be kept in mind in order for surgical procedures involving thyroid pathologies to be carried out safely.

AbstractAnnular pancreas is a rare congenital anomaly that results from the malrotation of the ventral pancreatic bud. The presentation of annular pancreas varies: it can be asymptomatic or present clinical symptoms of duodenal obstruction that can affect all age groups, from newborns to adults. In the present case report, we describe a complete type of annular pancreas at the level of the second part of the duodenum, which was an incidental finding in a prosected specimen. This anomaly has significant clinical relevance to clinicians and radiologists due to its variable presentation. The embryological, clinical and radiological aspects of this congenital anomaly are discussed in detail in the present article.

Congenital Cardiac Malformation

The most common congenital cardiac malformation that occurs in VACTERL association is ventricular septal defect. Scimitar syndrome is a very rare congenital anomaly of the heart occurring due to maldevelopment of the lung bud or the pulmonary vascularization during early embryogenesis. The occurrence of Scimitar syndrome in VACTERL and its association with another cardiac congenital anomaly such as Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is extremely rare. The association of Tetralogy of Fallot with Scimitar syndrome alters the management strategy. Hereby, a very rare combination of Scimitar syndrome and tetralogy of Fallot in a four-year-old boy with VACTERL is presented, who underwent a successful single-stage surgical correction.

A horseshoe adrenal gland is a rare congenital anomaly found almost exclusively in neonates and infants based on autopsy studies. It is a term used to describe a solitary adrenal gland situated in the midline, posterior to the inferior vena cava and abdominal aorta. To date, in the literature, there have been very few cases documented in adults and they have also been reported to be associated with other co-existing intra-abdominal, vascular and vertebral congenital anomalies. We describe a rare case of an asymptomatic adult patient who was incidentally found to have a horseshoe adrenal gland as well as a Type 1 diastematomyelia.

Abstract Background Cor triatriatum dexter is an extremely rare congenital anomaly, and in most cases, without hemodynamic significance. Congenital cytomegalovirus infection is the most common viral infection, the majority of infected infants being asymptomatic and only 5-15% being symptomatic in the neonatal period. Case report We present the case of a female infant, aged 3 months. Clinical examination reveals cranial and facial anomalies. The karyotype was normal. Laboratory tests revealed the presence of anti-CMV antibodies in urine. Imaging studies showed cerebral and renal anomalies. Echocardiographic exam revealed a congenital anatomical feature without hemodynamic significance - cor triatriatum dexter. Conclusions although cytomegalovirus infection is mostly asymptomatic, it can present as a complex pathological association, in which a congenital cardiac anatomical feature without hemodynamic significance, considered by some authors as an anatomical variant, can appear

Hysteroscopic Resection

A 23-year-old girl presented with severe cyclical lower abdominal pain during menstruation since menarche, which had increased since the last 4 years. Transabdominal ultrasound showed adnexal mass with no internal vascularity; MRI reported it as bicornuate uterus with one non-communicating right uterine horn with haematometra. On hysteroscopy there was evidence of septate uterus communicating only to the left ostia. Ultrasonography-guided hysteroscopic resection of septa with drainage of haematometra was done. Patient is presently asymptomatic.
