Prune belly Syndrome (PBS), a rare congenital anomaly of uncertain aetiologies has been seldom reported among Bangladeshis. Prune belly syndrome is a birth defect that involve three main problems like poor development of the abdominal musclescausing the skin of the belly area to wrinkle like a prune, undescended testicles and urinary tract problems. We report a case of 15 days old term male neonate with PBS. The baby named Shumon was admitted in Dhaka Medical College Hospital with complaint of lax abdominal wall, absence of both testes since birth. He was born by NVD and consulted with a local doctor who commented that the baby was not normal and referred to Dhaka Medical College Hospital for better management. On physical examination the baby weighted 2.7Kg and full length was 40 cm. He was mildly pale, his respiratory rate was 32 cycles per minute with normal breath sounds. Heart rate was 134 beats per minute. His abdomen was flabby with a wrinkled appearance and there were visible peristalses with palpable kidneys & bilateral undescended testes. His B.P was within normal range and cardiac examination was normal clinically and echocardiographically. USG of abdomen showed bilateral gross hydronephrosis with mega ureter. Micturating cystography showed grade-IV vesico-ureteric reflux bilaterally with no urethral obstruction. Serum creatinine concertration was 80 μmol/L, Serum Sodium was 130 mmol/L and Serum Potassium was 5.8 mmol/L. The presumptive diagnosis was Prune Belly Syndrome.

The study was carried out in Medicine and Pediatrics Department of Rajshahi Medical College Hospital, and Natore Sadar Hospital, both are located in the northern territory of Bangladesh. Period of study ranged from admission of patients till discharge. On 8th June 2008, 83 patients of Singra Upazilla Natore were admitted in Rajshahi Medical College Hospital and Natore Sadar Hospital with the history of consumption of Puffer fish. A presumptive diagnosis of Puffer fish poisoning was made on the basis of classical clinical presentations followed by Puffer fish ingestion. Blood and urine samples from 38 patients were sent to Frankfurt, Germany for toxicological analysis. The cases were clinically reviewed periodically and routine investigations were done. Report of the toxicological study confirmed the diagnosis of tetrodotoxin poisoning. Important neurological symptoms observed were peri-oral paresthesia (71), tingling over entire body (50), dizziness (35), headache (20). Muscular paralysis of the limbs was noted in 13 patients, of which 7 patients developed respiratory involvement. All the patients who developed respiratory involvement died. Early diagnosis and supportive management could ensure a safe and favorable outcome. Management of respiratory failure by ventilator support can be life saving. doi: 10.3329/taj.v21i2.3790 TAJ 2008; 21(2): 121-125

Prune Belly Syndrome (PBS) is a rare congenital anomaly. A male baby was received from the Department of Paediatrics, Assam Medical College hospital which died on the second day of birth. It was a diagnosed case of Prune Belly Syndrome (PBS) due to its flabby abdominal wall ballooning out in flanks and skin creases radiating laterally and downwards from the umbilicus - "Prune" like appearance. It was observed that the baby had congenital absence of abdominal muscles and undescended testis. On dissection, associated defects of urinary tract and gastro intestinal tract, persistent cloaca and preductalcoarctation of aorta were noted. The aetiology of this case owes for an overall mesenchymal defect. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jcmsn.v7i3.6709 Journal of College of Medical Sciences-Nepal, 2011, Vol-7, No-3, 48-52

Background: Chest trauma is responsible for 50% of deaths due to trauma. This kind of death usually occurs immediately after the trauma has occurred. Various therapeutic options have been reported for management of chest injuries like clinical observation, thoracocentesis, tube thoracostomy and open thoracotomy. Objective: To observe the pattern and outcome of management in chest trauma Methods: This is an observational study carried out in Casualty department of Chittagong Medical College Hospital (CMCH), Chittagong, between April 2015 to March 2016. Our study was included all patients, both sexes, following chest injury at Casualty units of Chittagong Medical College Hospital. All the data were recorded through the preformed data collection sheet and analyzed. Result: The mean age was found 37.7±18.1 years with range from 12 to 80 years. Male female ratio was 11.8:1. The mean time elapsed after trauma was found 6.1±3.1 hours with range from 1 to 72 hours. Almost one third (35.7%) patients was affecting road traffic accident followed by 42(27.3%) assault, 35(22.7%) stab injury, 15(9.7%) fall and 7(4.5%) gun shot . More than three fourth (80.5%) patients were managed by tube thoracostomy followed by 28(18.2%) observation and 2(1.3%) ventilatory support. No thoracotomy was done in emergency department. 42(27.2%) patients was found open pneumothorax followed by 41(26.6%) rib fracture, 31(20.1%) haemopneumothorax, 14(9%) simple pneumothorax, 12(7.8%) haemothorax, 6(3.9%) chest wall injury, 5(3.2%) tension pneumothorax, and 3(1.9%) flail chest. About the side of tube 60(39.0%) patients were given tube on left side followed by 57(37.0%) patients on right side, 9(5.8%) patients on both (left & right) side and 28(18.2%) patients needed no tube. Regarding the complications, 13(30%) patients had persistent haemothorax followed by 12(29%)tubes were placed outside triangle of safety, 6(13.9%) tubes were kinked, 6(13.9%) patients developed port side infection, 2(4.5%)tube was placed too shallow, 2(4.5%) patients developed empyema thoracis and 2(4.5%) patients developed bronchopleural fistula. The mean ICT removal information was found 8.8±3.6 days with range from 4 to 18 days. Reinsertion of ICT was done in 6(4.7%) patients. More than two third (68.2%) patients were recovered well, 43(27.9%) patients developed complication and 6(3.9%)patients died. More than two third (66.9%) patients had length of hospital stay 11-20 days. Conclusion: Most of the patients were in 3rd decade and male predominant. Road traffic accident and tube thoracostomy were more common. Open pneumothorax, rib fracture and haemopneumothorax were commonest injuries. Nearly one third of the patients had developed complications. Re-insertion of ICT needed almost five percent and death almost four percent. Journal of Surgical Sciences (2018) Vol. 22 (2) : 110-117
