Peritoneal Tuberculosis in Infants: Diagnostic Challenges
We report on two infants with peritoneal tuberculosis (6 and 8 months) who underwent laparotomy for suspected intussusception. In the first patient, characteristic lesions of peritoneal tuberculosis were observed intraoperatively with presence of multiple granulations. Tuberculin intradermal reaction (IDRt) was positive and tuberculous contagium could be cultured. In the second patient, the IDRt and GeneXpert tests were negative. In both patients, the histopathological examination of the biopsy specimens confirmed the diagnosis of peritoneal tuberculosis. The clinical courses under tuberculostatic therapy were favorable in...

An Unusual Case of Choledochal Cyst
European J Pediatr Surg Rep 2018; 06: e83-e86 DOI: 10.1055/s-0038-1673379Choledochal cyst (CC) is an important surgical cause of jaundice in infants. Infantile variant of CC can mimic biliary atresia in clinical presentation. CC associated with biliary atresia is well described in literature. We encountered an atretic variant of CC that has not been described in literature ever. The characteristics of this unusual case, management, and proposed hypothesis to its pathogenesis are discussed here.

The Excised Appendix Tip —To Send or not to Send, That is the Question
European J Pediatr Surg Rep 2018; 06: e81-e82 DOI: 10.1055/s-0038-1672166A 9-year-old boy, with previous anorectal malformation and neuropathic bladder and bowel, underwent ileocystoplasty, Monti–Mitrofanoff and appendix antegrade colonic enema procedure. The tip of the macroscopically normal appendix was sent for routine histopathology. Microscopy demonstrated a 5-mm well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumor extending into muscularis propria. Ki-67 index was <2%. Due to margin involvement, the appendix conduit and surrounding skin were re-excised and a tube cecostomy was created through a separate incision. Microscopy...

Chronic Urinary Retention due to Fowler's Syndrome
We present a case of a 14-year-old girl who presented at our hospital 2 weeks after uncomplicated laparoscopic appendectomy. The girl complained of reduced urinary frequency and prolonged micturition time. Following an acute cystitis 2 months later, she completely lost her ability to void. A comprehensive set of investigations to assess the cause of her urinary retention including a cerebral and spinal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and videourodynamics were performed. The diagnostic workup revealed polycystic ovaries and an asensitive and hypotonic bladder with capacity up to 1200 mL and high maximum urethral pressure ...

Three-Dimensional Printed Model and Virtual Reconstruction: An Extra Tool for Pediatric Solid Tumors Surgery
Conclusions 3D reconstruction and the full-scale printing models are a useful tool in cases of complex tumor resections as they contribute to a better understanding of the relationships between the tumor and adjacent organs, helping to anticipate certain surgical complications. They also provide additional information to conventional imaging tests, being able to influence therapeutic decisions and facilitate the understanding by the family, improving doctor–patient communication.

Glans Ischemia after Circumcision in a 16-Year-Old Boy: Full Recovery after Angiography with Local Spasmolysis, Systemic Vasodilatation, and Anticoagulation
We report the case of a 16-year-old boy with ischemia of the glans who presented on the first postoperative day after circumcision under DPNB (0.25% bupivacaine) at an outside hospital. The patient underwent immediate angiography under sedation. An intra-arterial spasmolysis was performed with alprostadil and nitroglycerine and a sufficient perfusion of the glans penis was confirmed. Subsequently, systemic sildenafil, arginine, and heparin were given. Following this 3-day medical treatment, ischemia resolved completely. Our case emphasizes the role of invasive angiography in the diagnostic workup and the therapeutic possib...

Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Presenting with Tension Pneumothorax in a 3-Year-Old Boy
We report the case of a 3-year-old boy who presented with an upper respiratory tract infection and severe dyspnea. A chest X-ray revealed a left-sided tension pneumothorax with mediastinal shift and suspected enterothorax. After thoracic computed tomography (CT) scan, a chest tube was inserted, which drained fluid which had the same consistency and color as the one derived from the nasogastric (NG) tube. The boy underwent diagnostic laparoscopy for suspected bowel perforation, which confirmed a left-sided Bochdalek hernia with herniation of the viscera into the chest. After repositioning of the herniated organs into the ab...

Neonatal Intrathoracic Gastric Volvulus in Marfan's Syndrome
We report a 12-day-old male who was admitted with vomiting because of an unusual early complication of Marfan's syndrome (MS): a sliding hiatal hernia. Initial ultrasound showed no stomach at its normal position and the chest X-ray presented an intrathoracic gas bubble with the nasogastric tube inside. An upper gastrointestinal contrast study confirmed the complete herniation of the stomach into the thorax. Via an exploratory laparotomy it was carefully reintroduced into the abdomen, following a hiatal reconstruction. A Thal fundoplication and a gastrostomy were also performed to guarantee its fixation. Although characteri...

Arthroscopic Treatment of a Posterior Labral Interposition after a Pediatric Hip Dislocation —A Case Report
We report the case of a 13-year-old boy, who suffered a posterior hip dislocation from playing soccer. Closed reduction was performed urgently. Because of a nonconcentric hip after closed reduction, further imaging was done. An intra-articular bony fragment was identified. Arthroscopic treatment was performed. Through an anterior portal we were able to locate the intra-articular bony fragment, which was located within the region of the fovea. After lifting of the caudal enfolded labral complex, we were able to remove the fragment. Evidence of a grade 3 cartilage defect was present at the femoral head. We were able to reduc...

Unilateral Straight Hair —A Symptom of Acquired Horner's Syndrome in a Neonate
European J Pediatr Surg Rep 2018; 06: e32-e36 DOI: 10.1055/s-0038-1639479A multicystic tumor of the right neck was detected in a girl at 29 weeks of gestation by fetal ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The baby was delivered by cesarean section at week 37 of gestation. The newborn adapted well, with minimal compromise of breathing and drinking. Postnatal ultrasound and MRI revealed a cervical lymphangioma measuring 60.5 × 60.6 × 41.2 mm. We performed subtotal resection of the tumor when the girl was 34 days. As a complication of surgical resection, the girl developed ipsilateral Horner's syndrome. ...
