ABSTRACT  Background: The incidence of nephrolithiasis in children increases over time. It has been reported an increase of 6 to 10% per year for the last twenty-five years. Research in developing country showed that urinary tract infection and metabolic disorders were the caused of nephrolithiasis. Illustration Case: Three years 10 months old boy had a complaint of pain in plank region followed by tea-like urine since two months ago. Physical examination showed that he appeared to be moderately ill and compos mentis. His physical examinations were normal except positive ballotement and positive costoverebral angle (CVA) pain in the right flank region. Laboratory finding showed positive eritrocyte in urinalysis. Ultrasonography and abdominal CT-scan consistent with nephrolithiasis. Management: Pyelolitotomy was performed under general anesthesia. Postoperatively, patient treated in a pediatric surgery room and observation was carried out. He was given  D5NS 500 ml administered 20 drops per minute microdrip IV, paracetamol 3 x 225 mg IV, and cefotaxime injection 2 x 500 mg IV after a skin test first.  Result and Follow Up: An irregular stone 1,5 cm x 1 cm in size consist of 45% ammonium urate, 31% sodium urate monohydrate, and 24% amorphous calcium phosphate carbonate was found. Discussion: Nephrolithiasis in children occurs due to several related conditions such as genetics, ethnicity, climate, and nutrition. Complications can be prevented by managing and controlling appropriate risk factors.

Abstract Background Small intestine duplication cysts (SIDCs) are rare congenital anatomical abnormalities of the digestive tract and a rare cause of hematochezia. Case presentation We describe an adult female presented with recurrent hematochezia. The routine gastric endoscope and colonic endoscope showed no positive findings. Abdominal CT scan indicated intussusception due to the "doughnut" sign, but the patient had no typical symptoms. Two subsequent capsule endoscopes revealed a protruding lesion with bleeding in the distal ileum. Surgical resection was performed and revealed a case of SIDC measuring 6 * 2 cm located inside the ileum cavity. The patient remained symptom-free throughout a 7-year follow-up period. Conclusion SIDCs located inside the enteric cavity can easily be misdiagnosed as intussusception by routine radiologic examinations.

Background and aim Selective non-operative management of patients with penetrating abdominal stabs is the preferred treatment strategy. The present study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of non-operative management with emphasis on the value of follow-up abdominal CT scanning in management of patients with penetrating anterior abdominal stab. Patients and methods This is a retrospective chart review of stable patients with anterior abdominal stab wounds. Patients were divided in terms of initial decisions into two groups: laparotomy group and non-operative management group. Abdominal CT scan was performed for patients in the non-operative management group on admission and follow-up CT scanning was performed in cases of clinical and/or biochemical deterioration. Results The laparotomy group included 82 patients and 68.2% of them had unnecessary laparotomies. The non-operative management group comprised 97 patients and 90.7% of them did not require subsequent laparotomy. Abdominal CT scan had a sensitivity of 88.9% and specificity of 100% in detection of intra-abdominal injuries. Follow-up CT scanning detected bowel injuries missed by initial CT scan in three patients. The non-operative management group had significantly lower post-operative complication rate than the laparotomy group (4.1% vs. 18.3%), with a significantly shorter length of stay. Conclusions Non-operative management is the optimal management strategy for stable patients with penetrating anterior abdominal stab to decrease unnecessary laparotomy rates, hospital stay and costs. Follow-up abdominal CT scanning facilitated the decision making for patients selected for non-operative management and is highly sensitive in the diagnosis of patients who require subsequent exploration.

Abstract Introduction: Adult Bochdalek hernia is one of the right-sided diaphragmatic hernias that less than 30 cases reported until now.Case: I herein report a 64-year-old female patient who had dyspnea, abdominal pain, and nausea. Primary imaging (thoracic and abdominal CT scan) showed a right-sided diaphragmatic hernia that was contained the liver and right colon. The patient underwent right posterior thoracotomy at first, so the 5*5 cm diaphragmatic defect was repaired. Due to peritonitis that happened after two days, a midline laparotomy was performed. Finally, it was cleared that the main problem was the obstructed and perforated descending colon mass that was presented with Bockdalek hernia. Unfortunately, she died.Conclusion It is important to determine the reason for the presentation of the symptomatic diaphragmatic hernia in adult patients. It should be considered that an increase of intra-abdominal pressure like the presence of obstructed colon mass can cause it.

Branchial fistulas are uncommon in the clinical setting. The coexistence of first and second branchial fistulas has not been previously reported. We herein describe a 12-year-old girl who presented with a 2-year history of repeated swelling and purulence behind the right earlobe and neck. According to the patient’s physical and auxiliary examination findings, she was diagnosed with coexisting first and second branchial fistulas, both of which were completely removed by surgery. No clinical signs of fistula recurrence were present at the patient’s 20-month postoperative follow-up. Ipsilateral coexisting first and second branchial fistulas are very rare; thus, a false-positive diagnosis can easily occur if the doctor does not carefully perform specialized physical examinations. Surgery is an effective method for treating this condition. Adequate preoperative imaging preparation is imperative to ensure the most effective course of treatment. The purpose of this article is to improve clinicians’ awareness of this disease, thereby effectively reducing the rates of missed diagnosis and recurrence.

AbstractFor the management of diminutive duodenal neuroendocrine tumors (d-NETs), Harshit et al. have proposed – in the work accompanying this editorial – an interesting approach, the endoscopic banding without resection (BWR) technique. Given the risks associated with classic endoscopic resections and surgical procedures, and the likely favorable natural history of diminutive d-NETs, BWR may be an option for these selected patients with a very low risk of LN + and recurrence. However, a close follow-up (endoscopic, EUS and thoraco-abdominal CT scan) is then required to guarantee the safety of this policy.

Gastric adenocarcinoma has a high recurrence rate. The goal of this study was to determine the timing and pattern of recurrence after gastrectomy. A retrospective review was performed of patients with gastric adenocarcinoma having curative partial or total gastrectomy with R0/D2 lymph node resection from 1999 to 2013. Follow-up included CT scans of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis at 3-month intervals for the first three years, at 6-month intervals for the next two years, and annually thereafter. There were 62 patients, 38 males and 24 females, with a median age of 65 years. Median follow-up was 29 months and recurrence was identified in 21 per cent of patients. Median time to recurrence was 12 months and 92 per cent of recurrences occurred within two years. The last recurrence was identified at 34 months. Abdominal CT scan identified all patients with recurrence, although some patients had disease elsewhere in addition to the abdominal disease. There were no extra-abdominal isolated recurrences. In conclusion, recurrence after complete resection for gastric adenocarcinoma typically occurs within the first two years, and can be found by abdominal CT scan. Close cancer follow-up appears unnecessary after three years because all recurrences were identified within 34 months of resection.

Dextrocardia is a cardiac positional anomaly in which the heart is located in the right hemithorax with its base to apex axis directed to the right and caudad. The malposition is intrinsic to the heart and not caused by extracardiac abnormalities. Dextrocardia is a rare condition and usually found incidentally and in association with other congenital abnormalities. It has an incidence of less than 1%. This is an 18 year old Nigerian female who was referred for computed tomography (CT) of the chest on account of prolonged and recurrent cough with a suspicion of diffuse interstitial lung disease. The chest and upper abdominal CT scan showed dextrocardia with a right placed heart, displaced spleen and stomach to the right hemi-abdomen and liver displaced to the left hemi-abdomen; confirming the diagnosis of dextrocardia with situs inversus. We present this case of dextrocardia with abdominal situs inversus due to its rarity in literature.

Background: Intraosseous stab wounds are extremely rare. Only a few cases have been reported in the upper extremity. Case Report: In this report, we presented a case of stab wound to the right shoulder with penetration to the scapula. The patient was successfully managed in a team-based approach. During a 12-month follow-up, he showed no abnormality in passive and active movements or physical examination. Conclusion: Relying on the physical examinations and paraclinical studies may be an appropriate substitution for exploration surgery when possible iatrogenic injuries may affect the patient's quality of life.

Herein, we reported a duodenal perforation case as an intestinal injury during a percutaneous nephrostomy procedure. A 73-year-old woman with bilateral nephrostomy catheters was applied to the emergency service with right flank pain. Early in the day, her bilateral nephrostomy catheters had been changed. On physical examination, she had a defense and rebound at her right quadrant, and costovertebral angle tenderness was also positive. In the contrast-enhanced abdominal computed tomography scan, the right nephrostomy catheter was located in the second part of the duodenum, and the contrast agent did not leak into the peritoneum from the injury area. We decided on conservative management of the case with active surveillance using daily blood tests and physical examinations. The nephrostomy catheter in the duodenum was left to prevent fistula between the duodenum and the skin, and a new one was placed in the right kidney. The broad spectrum antibiotherapy regime was applied, and the patient was followed up closely. The catheter in the duodenum was removed on the 20th day, uneventfully, and the patient was discharged successfully on the 24th day with her permanent bilateral nephrostomy tubes. On the first follow-up, one month later, the patient had no active medical complaint.
