Congenital diverticulum of heart is a rare entity, which may arise from the atria, atrial appendages, coronary sinus or the ventricles. A 3-year-old child presented with history of early fatigability for 6 months and recent upper respiratory tract infection. Chest X-ray and echocardiogram revealed
Two cases of fetal congenital cardiac diverticula diagnosed at 14 and 12 weeks of gestation are reported. Both presented with a large pericardial effusion. One fetus presented with increased NT which evolved into fetal hydrops. Pericardiocentesis at 16 weeks led to progressive resolution of hydrops.
The relationship between high placed jugular bulb (diverticulum) and inner ear disorder is not well known. Three of 19 patients with sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSHL) treated in 1995 had right side jugular bulb diverticulum revealed by CT scan and MRA. One of the 3 SSHL cases complicated with
Two cases of recurrent and persistent respiratory symptoms after primary repair of esophageal atresia and tracheoesophageal fistula are described. The diagnostic workup included barium swallow examination, radionuclide study for gastroesophageal reflux, and bronchoscopy. The tracheal diverticulum
Congenital ventricular cardiac diverticula are rare. They may occur prenatally in association with a pericardial effusion which, if large enough, can compromise fetal circulatory and lung development. Parental counseling is difficult because some cases resolve in the second trimester and others
OBJECTIVE
To report the case of a giant bladder diverticulum clinically presenting with symptoms of inferior vena cava compression.
METHODS
Patient under study because of inferior limbs edema who underwent ultrasound that found a giant bladder diverticulum.
RESULTS
Diverticulectomy plus adenomectomy
Although the introduction of double-balloon enteroscopy has greatly improved the diagnostic rate, definite diagnosis of Meckel's diverticulum far from the ileocecal valve is still impossible in most cases. We explored the role of magnetic resonance (MR) enterography in detecting bleeding from
OBJECTIVE
Congenital left ventricular aneurysm (LVA) and diverticulum (LVD) are rare cardiac anomalies. We aimed to analyse the characteristics and long-term outcome of prenatal diagnosed patients with LVA/LVD.
METHODS
We performed a systematic review of the literature to identify and analyse
Pharyngoesophageal diverticulum is a rare complication following anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF). Dysphagia is a well-documented complication associated with ACDF. It may result postoperatively from a variety of etiologies, including hardware displacement, pharyngeal edema, or vocal
BACKGROUND
Uterine anomalies causing fetal complications are very rarely encountered in obstetric practice and thus pose a diagnostic dilemma.
METHODS
A multigravid patient attended the clinic for an ultrasound examination in the third trimester following a recent hospital admission for abdominal
BACKGROUND
A variety of open and endoscopic surgical approaches for the treatment of Zenker's diverticulum have been described. In recent years, growing evidence has shown that the endoscopic techniques are superior to the open approaches in many aspects. Among the endoscopic techniques,
Congenital left ventricular diverticulum (LVD) is a rare abnormality of the myocardium which has been detected previously in the fetus. Lesions have been reported from as early as 12 weeks' gestation but are more commonly detected in the mid-second trimester. Fetal presentation of LVD ranges from an
Segmental colitis associated with diverticulosis (SCAD) is manifested by active chronic inflammation of the colonic segments affected by diverticulosis, luminal-mucosal inflammation, independent of the presence of inflammation within and/or around the diverticula, and it usually spares the rectum.
BACKGROUND
Anisakiasis is a parasitic infection caused by the ingestion of raw fish contaminated by larval nematodes of Anisakis species. Intestinal or extraintestinal manifestations are rated to > 4% and >1% respectively.
METHODS
A 61-year old patient was admitted to our General Surgical and
