Left-sided appendicitis managed laparoscopically: a case report
ConclusionAppendicitis remains the most common abdominal-related emergency that needs urgent surgery (Akbulutet al. in World J Gastroenterol 16:5598 –5602, 2010. 10.3748/wjg.v16.i44.5598). Left-sided appendicitis is a rare (Huet al. in Front Surg 2022. 10.3389/fsurg.2022.896116, Hu et al. in Front Surg 9:896116, 2022. 10.3389/fsurg.2022.896116) and atypical presentation and has rarely been reported. Awareness regarding an anatomical variation of the appendix and diagnostic modalities on a computed tomography scan help avoid delay in diagnosis and management of such a rare entity (Vieira et al. in J Coloproctol 39(03):2...

Report of an Iranian child with chronic abdominal pain and constipation diagnosed as glycogen storage disease type IX: a case report
ConclusionGiven the mild and varied clinical manifestations of glycogen storage disease type IX, it is possible for the diagnosis to be overlooked. It is important to consider glycogen storage disease type IX in children who present with unexplained hepatomegaly and elevated transaminase levels. Furthermore, due to the distinct management of glycogen storage disease type IX compared with glycogen storage disease type I and glycogen storage disease type III, genetic analysis is essential for an accurate diagnosis.
