Pentalogy of Cantrell.

Omphalocele is often associated with various abnormalities. In two patients admitted with omphalocele, we additionally found defects both in the pars stenalis of diaphragm and in the diaphragmatic surface of the pericardium, sternal defect and tetralogy of Fallot. These entities form the components of a syndrome, named pentalogy of Cantrell. It is extremely in the spectrum of midline closure defects that display wide variations and its incidence is very low. Existing cardiac defect is the most important factor influencing morbidity and mortality. Herein we report two cases of pentalogy of Cantrell with the review of the syndrome in the light of literature.

High association of congenital heart disease with indirect inguinal hernia.

We evaluated 103 patients with indirect inguinal hernia (IIH) for the association of congenital heart disease by echocardiography. Congenital cardiac abnormalities were recognized in 32% of patients with inguinal hernia, which is significantly higher than that reported in a population-based study in Turkey and other population-based studies. Ventricular septal defect and valvular anomalies are the most frequently detected malformations. Our findings suggest that screening for congenital hearth disease is necessary in children with indirect inguinal hernia.

Three-dimensional anatomy of the pelvis in bladder exstrophy: description of bone pathology by using three-dimensional computed tomography and its clinical relevance.

The alterations in pelvic structure that occur in bladder exstrophy were evaluated in six children (one girl and five boys) by using three-dimensional computed tomography (3D-CT). The length and angle of anterior and posterior segments and the slanting angle of iliac wings were measured. 3D-CT scans of the pelvis of four patients with a normal pelvis were obtained to serve as controls. Both anterior and posterior segments were abnormally rotated externally in patients with bladder exstrophy. Whereas the length of the posterior segment is normal, the length of the anterior segment is significantly shorter, and the iliac wings projected more inward than those in the age-matched control subjects.
