Sirenomelia or mermaid syndrome is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by variable degree of fusion of lower extremities. Awareness to this rare condition is important for prenatal diagnosis and prognosticating the fetus. The exact etiopathogenesis is still an area of research. Two pathogenic hypotheses are the vascular steal hypothesis and the defective blastogenesis hypothesis with exceptions reported in literature.

Double gall bladder is a rare congenital anomaly of the Hepatobiliary system with an incidence of 1:4000 due to abnormalities resulting during the embryogenesis during fourth to sixth week of gestation. Boyden was first to describe the duplication of the gallbladder and Harlaftis classification describes three types for the duplication of the gallbladder. Preoperative diagnosis of the duplication of the gallbladder has to be confirmed to minimise the complications during the surgery and post operatively. Sometimes the duplication of the gallbladder is missed preoperatively and hence increasing the risk and complications during the cholecystectomy. MRCP is the investigation of choice for preoperative diagnosis of the duplication and the laparoscopic cholecystectomy being the treatment of choice for the double gallbladder. We encountered a 25 year old girl with duplicate gallbladder who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy with removal of both gallbladders successfully.

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.

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.

Aplasia of the epiglottis is a rare laryngeal anomaly. We present a case of absence of the epiglottis in a child whose clinical course has been followed for nine years. She required a tracheostomy at two years of age for obstructive sleep apnea which resulted in heart failure; she was eventually decannulated at age seven. This case report highlights the clinical challenges faced in the identification and treatment of the sequelae of this defect. Both endoscopic and computed tomography (CT) documentation are provided. Embryological development and a review of the literature are also discussed.

Abstract Partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection (PAPVC) is a rare congenital anomaly. Generally, it is seen on the right side and is associated with an atrial septal defect. Herein, we present a case of a 50-year-old male patient with a supracardiac type PAPVC detected during pneumonectomy for a right hilar mass. This is the second case report in the literature presenting surgical treatment of both lung cancer and PAPVC using pneumonectomy. Thoracic surgeons should be aware of this anomaly when they are planning to perform a major lung resection. If PAPVC and lung cancer are in the same lobe, anatomical lung resections including pneumonectomy can be safely performed.
