Laparoscopic management of silent colonic perforation with trans-anal protrusion of ventriculo-peritoneal shunt catheter

Suzanne Lawther, Ramnik Patel, Hany Gabra

Journal of Pediatric Surgery Case Reports > 2013 > 1 > 5 > 106-107

We present a case of silent transverse colonic perforation and trans-anal protrusion of the catheter as a complication arising from ventriculo-peritoneal shunt (VPS) in an infant. Plain abdominal X-ray and laparoscopy were essential diagnostic tools. The patient had an uneventful recovery following a laparoscopic assisted retrieval of the protruded shunt tube, extra ventricular drainage of cerebrospinal...

A case of intussusception with internal hernia after surgery for malrotation and duodenal atresia in an infant

Satoshi Yokoyama, Hirofumi Utsunomiya

Journal of Pediatric Surgery Case Reports > 2013 > 1 > 5 > 87-89

Here, we present a case of intussusception with internal hernia after surgery for malrotation and duodenal atresia in an infant. In our case, laparotomy was performed because the reduction was judged incomplete, at which time the internal hernia was unexpectedly found. The majority of postoperative obstructions in infants and children result from intestinal adhesions, but the possibility of intussusception...

When bone scan reveals appendicitis

E. Rust, C. Gomes Ferreira, C. Sebastia Sancho, F. Becmeur, more

Journal of Pediatric Surgery Case Reports > 2013 > 1 > 5 > 96-98

Diagnosis of appendicitis in infants can be challenging. We report the imaging findings in a 4 year-old girl with a misleading history of fever and right hip pain. Hips X-ray was normal and ultrasound scan did not show any effusion in the right hip joint. Bone scan was performed to eliminate osteo-arthritis or early osteomyelitis. This examination showed no bone metabolism alteration, but demonstrated...

Kestutis Trainavicius, Vytis Kazlauskas, Pranas Gurskas

Journal of Pediatric Surgery Case Reports > 2013 > 1 > 5 > 114-117

We introduce a case of epigastric heteropagus with parasitic twin attached at the chest wall. The antenatal history consisted of several uncommon findings such as major exomphalos, previously unreported vascular stem arising from the internal thoracic artery, a common ventricle in the autosite and uneventful follow-up of one year postoperatively.

Epididymocutaneous fistula in a patient with neurogenic bladder

Danesh Bansal, Paul H. Noh

Journal of Pediatric Surgery Case Reports > 2013 > 1 > 5 > 94-95

We describe the development of an epididymocutaneous fistula in a patient with a complicated genitourinary history, including recurrent epididymitis and neurogenic bladder.

An unusual case of intramural Meckel's diverticulum as a lead point for ileoileal intussusception – Laparoscopically assisted management

M. Lima, T. Gargano, M. Maffi

Journal of Pediatric Surgery Case Reports > 2013 > 1 > 5 > 111-113

Intussusception is a frequent cause of intestinal obstruction in children. Ileoileal intussusception is rare and it is secondary to pathological or congenital lead points. We report an unusual case of an intramural Meckel's diverticulum as a lead point for ileoileal intussusception presenting with acute lower intestinal bleeding. Laparoscopically assisted resection of the involved ileum was successfully...

Congenital midline cervical cleft

Juliette King, Ramnik V. Patel, Simon N. Huddart

Journal of Pediatric Surgery Case Reports > 2013 > 1 > 5 > 99-101

We report a case of a neonate with a congenital midline cervical cleft diagnosed postnatally at birth. Classical clinical presentation, fistulogram and microlaryngoscopy established prompt clinical diagnosis and excluded associated anomalies. She underwent operative treatment during early infancy with excellent cosmetic and functional long-term results.

Laparoscopic management of primary intestinal trichobezoar

Richard England, Ramnik Patel, Sean Marven

Journal of Pediatric Surgery Case Reports > 2013 > 1 > 5 > 108-110

We report a rare case of primary small intestinal trichobezoar in a 5-year-old girl presenting as subacute intestinal obstruction. Clinical, radiological, endoscopic, and laparoscopic investigations suggested the diagnosis. Most reported cases use diagnostic or laparoscopic assisted removal mainly in the adults. We describe the complete laparoscopic removal of a primary intestinal trichobezoar without...

Case report: Management of pediatric blunt abdominal trauma following an ATV accident leading to liver hilum injury

Noah J. Switzer, David L. Bigam, Bryan Dicken

Journal of Pediatric Surgery Case Reports > 2013 > 1 > 5 > 102-105

Blunt abdominal trauma from the ever-popular all-terrain vehicle is becoming an increasing concern in pediatrics. Non-operative management has become the standard of care for isolated blunt hepatic injuries. However, operative intervention is still warranted in hemodynamically unstable patients and for any serious delayed complications such as liver devascularization and liver failure. This case report...

Reconstruction of the extrahepatic portal vein after pancreatic trauma – Report of two cases

Nikolaos Pararas, Steven Stylianos, Andreas Tzakis

Journal of Pediatric Surgery Case Reports > 2013 > 1 > 5 > 90-93

Obstruction of the extrahepatic portal vein blocks the outflow through the superior mesenteric (SMV), splenic (SV), and coronary veins (CV) and causes portal hypertension of the prehepatic type.We present two case reports of patients who developed SMV obstruction after pancreatic trauma treated by reconstruction of the extrahepatic portal vein with an autologous venous graft between the SMV and portal...
