Intestinal Duplication

The caecum is one of the rarest sites of intestinal duplication cysts. The most common symptomatology includes vomiting, abdominal pain, abdominal distention, palpable mass and rectal bleeding. Most of the duplications are diagnosed within the first two years of life, including prenatal diagnosis. Only few cases of caecal duplication have been reported in the literature up to the present day. We are going to present a case of a five-years old girl with caecum duplication who reached our ward due to abdominal distension with no other symptoms.

Background: Laparoscopy has been a valuable technique in the treatment of acute abdominal diseases and can be considered either to diagnose or to treat selected cases.Methods: Here, we randomly select patients with acute abdominal pain in whom the diagnosis was not clear after ultrasonography and plain X-ray, we did diagnostic laparoscopy and according to its findings, we proceeded to surgical intervention. 50 cases with acute abdomen were included in this study in order to clarify the role of laparoscopy in the diagnosis and treatment of acute abdomen.Results: From the 50 patients, the main complaint was abdominal pain and presented in (100%) of patients, 38 of patients had vomiting, fever in 29 patients and 14 patients had abdominal distension, 7 patients had alteration in bowel habits and burning micturition in 6 patients. In this study, 10 patients had past history of previous surgery. By laparoscopy we could see the pathology in 46 patients and complete the management in all of patients but failed to reach the diagnosis in 2 cases and conversion to laparotomy in other 2 cases. Laparoscopic surgery mean was 47.9±12.4 minutes. Hospital stay mean was (1.851) days. Morbidity was 10%. No mortality was found in our study.Conclusions: Laparoscopy can be considered safe for diagnosis and effective in the treatment of patients with acute abdomen. It may be useful to avoid the unnecessary laparotomies in a large number of patients presented with acute abdominal pain.

Visceral myopathy is a rare chronic disease affecting the peristalsis of the bowel causing intermittent pseudoobstruction. We report an atypical case of an eighty-nine-year-old woman with no prior history of abdominal illness who was admitted to our hospital with 2 days of increasing nausea, abdominal distension, and abdominal pain. On arrival at the hospital, she was critically ill. Abdominal X-ray showed distended loops of the colon and liquid levels resembling colonic obstruction. A subsequent abdominal CT scan confirmed the colonic obstruction. A suspicion of sigmoid volvulus was raised, that is why a barium enema was performed but no lower colonic obstruction could be confirmed. Acute laparotomy showed perforated cecum without intestinal obstruction. Postoperatively, the patient became septic which was fatal for the patient. Pathology gave the diagnosis visceral myopathy. It is very difficult to make the diagnosis clinically and radiologically since visceral myopathy mimics other more common gastrointestinal diseases. It is important to consider visceral myopathy as a possible diagnosis in cases with recurrent episodes of abdominal pain, vomiting, and abdominal distension, but without actual intestinal obstruction.

Retained surgical sponge or gossypiboma is a term used to describe a retained swab in the body after operation. There are different surgical materials that can be left in the abdomen during operation such as sponge, artery forceps, scissors, and pieces of broken instrument. Mop is the most commonly retained foreign body. Inadvertent retention of foreign body in the abdomen often requires another operation, increasing the morbidity and mortality in these patients. Despite the complications associated with this condition, they are rarely published because of medicolegal implications. We report a case of 28-year-old woman who presented on account of 9 months history of colicky abdominal pain, abdominal distention and mass following open myomectomy in a private hospital.

We report on a patient with ischemic colitis and another with paralytic ileus, both of whom experienced an acute abdomen after intravitreal injection of bevacizumab (IVB). Case 1 was a 78-year-old woman. Her medical history included surgery for colon carcinoma 10 years earlier. The patient developed acute severe abdominal pain and nausea the day after IVB for retinal vein occlusion with macular edema, and massive lower gastrointestinal bleeding occurred. Ischemic colitis was diagnosed. Case 2 was a 64-year-old man who presented with neovascular glaucoma with proliferative diabetic retinopathy. We performed vitreous surgery on the 9th day after IVB, and we reperformed IVB at the end of the vitreous surgery. On the first postoperative day, severe abdominal distension, vomiting and abdominal pain were observed, and paralytic ileus was diagnosed. It is possible that gastrointestinal disorders are induced after IVB, depending on the patient's background, including for example severe diabetes or a history of surgery for gastrointestinal cancer. Thus, ophthalmologists should apply alternative therapies instead of IVB to patients with severe diabetes mellitus or a history of gastrointestinal cancer.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a common cancer. It has got significant morbidity andmortality. It is a common malignancy. Obesity is defined as BMI equal or above 25.1 kg/m2.Obesity is associated with an increased risk of developing CRC and poor prognosis in patientswith colorectal cancer. We conducted a study on 414 patients to look for correlation of obesitywith T, N, M and DUKES stage and frequency of obesity in CRC patients. Period: It involvedall CRC cases presented between 2004 to 2009. Methods: It was a single center retrospectivechart review. Total patient were 414. Data was collected on Performa and analyzed on SPSSversion 19. Results: Out of 414 patients males were 243 (58.7%) and females were 171 (41.3%).Mean age was 56 years. It was 57.7 years for males and 54.6 years for females. 221 patientswere obese. 123 patients presented in advanced DUKES stage. Mean BMI was 26 and meanCEA level was 76.60. 134 patients presented in advanced T stage (T3 and T4). 20% patientswith positive polyp history were obese while 80% patients with positive polyp history were nonobese. Majority of patients with family history of CRC, previous history of IBD, smoking andprevious colonoscopy were non obese. Abdominal pain, abdominal distension, constipation,bleeding per rectum and fever were more common in obese patients but this difference was notstatistically significant. About 56% of patients with abdominal pain and abdominal distensionwere obese and about 59% of patients with constipation and bleeding per-rectum were obese.About 65% of diabetic and hypertensive patients were obese (P value 0.01, 0.01) while 70%patients with coronary artery disease were obese. Conclusion: CRC affects more males andadvanced age group. Obese CRC patients are more than non-obese patients but obesity is notassociated with advanced stage of disease. Co-morbidities like diabetes mellitus, hypertensionare more common in obese CRC patients.
