Incarcerated Littre & #39;s hernia in a neonate presenting as enteroscrotal fistula
Rahul Gupta, Praveen MathurJournal of Indian Association of Pediatric Surgeons 2023 28(2):164-166 A 27-day-old male neonate, presented with feculent discharge from the scrotum. Operative findings revealed incarcerated right inguinal hernia with perforated Meckel's diverticulum as its content, leading to enteroscrotal fistula. Resection of the Meckel's diverticulum and end-to-end ileoileal anastomosis was performed along with repair of inguinal hernia from within the abdominal cavity. The outcome was favorable. Enteroscrotal fistula due to incarceration of inguinal hernia is a rare presentation. We ar...

A rare differences of sex development: male sex reversal syndrome (NonSyndromic 46, XX with Negative Sex-Determining Region of Y Chromosome Gene)
Pankaj Singhania, Arunava Ghosh, Debaditya Das, Subhasis Neogi, Rana Bhattacharjee, Dipanjana DattaJournal of Indian Association of Pediatric Surgeons 2023 28(2):154-159 46, XX testicular differences of sex development (DSD) is a rare cause of DSD presenting as a phenotypical male with chromosomal sex of 46, XX. Sex-determining region of the Y chromosome (SRY)-positive 46, XX DSDs have a well-characterized pathogenetic mechanism, whereas in SRY-negative 46, XX DSDs, the pathogenesis is not clearly delineated. Herein, we present a case of a 3½-year-old child who presented with ambiguous genitalia and bilateral ...

Prevalence of pancreato-biliary maljunction in children with choledochal cyst & #8211; A prospective observational study
Conclusion: Abdominal pain is the most common complaint in a child with CC, and when present, it is significantly associated with the presence of a PBM. MRCP is the gold standard tool to detect CCs and find out the morphology of PBM. The prevalence of PBM in children with CC of 45% with a mean common channel length of 8.11 mm. The biochemical analysis of a bile amylase and lipase is the functional indicator of the presence of a PBM and there is a significant association of their higher levels and presence of PBM. The presence of chronic inflammation and microscopic ulcers is significant histologic parameters dep...

Gastrointestinal Duplications: A decade & #39;s experience
Conclusion: GI duplications have varied presentations depending on site, size, type, local mass effect, mucosal pattern, and associated complications. The importance of clinical suspicion and radiology cannot be underrated. Early diagnosis is required to prevent postoperative complications. Management is individualized as per the type of duplication anomaly and its relation with the involved GI tract. (Source: Journal of Indian Association of Pediatric Surgeons)

Assessment of antenatal and postnatal prognostic indicators in the outcome of neonatal congenital diaphragmatic hernia: A prospective observational study
Conclusions: We conclude that the prognostic indicators associated with poor prognosis are low 5-min APGAR, high VI, low HCO3 levels in venous blood gas analysis, mesh repair, HFOV, inotropes usage, and PPHN. None of the antenatal factors studied showed any statistical significance. Further prospective studies with a larger sample size are recommended to confirm the findings.

Variation in the expression of interstitial cell of cajal-like cell (CD117) across congenital pelvic-ureteric junction obstruction and its renal sonological and functional correlation: A prospective observational study
Conclusion: The expression of ICC-LC shows a uniformly decreasing trend across obstruction when the severity of obstruction is less. Resurgence in the number of ICC-LC below PUJ in subjects with severe obstruction hints at the emergence of a new pacemaker area below severely blocked PUJ akin to that seen in complete heart block patients and deserves early attention.

Role of procalcitonin as a biomarker in early identification of adverse events following esophageal atresia surgery
Conclusions: Procalcitonin is a good indicator to identify the adverse events in neonates after surgery for esophageal atresia. The procalcitonin levels in patients who sustained a major complication depicted a reversal in trend 24–48 h of clinical manifestation. POD-1 procalcitonin correlated with survival while the baseline and POD-5 serum procalcitonin predicted the clinical course. (Source: Journal of Indian Association of Pediatric Surgeons)
