Megacystis Microcolon Intestinal Hypoperistalsis Syndrome (MMIHS) is a rare congenital anomaly that is considered the most severe form of functional obstruction of the gastrointestinal tract. This devastating condition is composed of non-obstructed urinary bladder, microcolon with decreased or absent intestinal peristalsis. This study was designed to describe the incidence and outcome of MMIHS.

Meckels diverticulum is a rare congenital anomaly of gastrointestinal tract, seen in 2% of population. It was first described by Guilhemus Fabricus Hildonus in 1598. Meckels diverticulum is an anomaly derived from incomplete obliteration of omphalo-mesenteric duct. It is rarely seen in adults, with prevalence of male to female of 2:1. Complications associated with Meckels diverticulum are hemorrhage, inflammation and intestinal obstruction. We present to you a case of 17 year old male with unusual mechanism of small bowel obstruction due to Meckels diverticulum.

Gastrointestinal tract (GIT) duplication is a rare congenital anomaly with an incidence of about 1 in 4,500 newborns. Duplication of the intestine, as a rule, is diagnosed at 2–3 years, however, cases of this pathology being detected in patients of any age are described. Duplication of GIT can be asymptomatic or be detected when massive intestinal bleeding, intestinal perforation, obstruction due to intussusception or volvulus, and even malignancy in the doubled section occur. The characteristic signs of a duplication of the intestine are a well-developed muscular membrane, a general blood supply to the duplication with a portion of the supporting intestine, the presence of a mucous membrane that coincides with the supporting segment, in a third of cases, ectopic tissue is found. Our article describes the staged treatment of a patient with total tubular colon duplication complicated by acute intestinal obstruction.

 We present a case of megacystis-microcolon-intestinal hypoperistalsis syndrome (MMIHS) in a four days old female infant who presented with abdominal distension, bilious vomiting, massive hematuria and feeding intolerance which was first interpreted as Prune Belly Syndrome (PBS), referred to our department after iatrogenic gastric and colonic perforation. Berdon syndrome or MMIHS is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by a massive enlarged bladder, distended abdomen, microcolon, functional obstruction of the gastrointestinal tract, and malrotation.

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

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.

Congenital metacarpal synostosis is a rare congenital anomaly in the hand, especially in our area. There were several reports of surgical techniques for correction deformities. We report this rare condition in our hospital and treatment with the metacarpal osteotomy and double bone blocks technique of grafting.
