Neonatal intussusception secondary to intestinal duplication cyst: A case report

Background: Intussusception is a rare cause of bleeding per rectum in neonates. Duplication cyst as a pathological lead point for intussusception is rarer too. Case Presentation: A female neonate presented with bilious vomiting and bleeding per rectum. Ultrasonography diagnosed it as intussusception. Intraoperatively, on reduction of intussusception, a mass was found which on histopathological examination (HPE) revealed a duplication cyst. Conclusion: A high index of suspicion is required for an early diagnosis of neonatal intussusception, which is essential for preventing complications and mortality.

Caecal duplication, a case report

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.

Teratoid Cyst with Nephrogenic Elements: A Rare Case

Teratoid cyst is a type of dermoid cyst, the lining of which varies from stratified squamous to a ciliated respiratory epithelium containing derivatives of ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm. The most common location of this cyst is oral cavity and presence of nephrogenic elements has been very rarely reported. We report a very uncommon rare case of teratoid cyst with nephrogenic elements in cyst wall and intestinal duplication cyst in a 6-month-old-female child.
