Gastrointestinal perforations in neonates with anorectal malformations.

We describe the presentation and management of gastrointestinal perforation in four neonates with anorectal malformations. Two neonates with high malformation had pneumoperitoneum on X-ray; surgery revealed sigmoid perforation in one patient and transverse colon perforation in the other. Colostomy was done, followed by posterior sagittal anorectoplasty at four months; both recovered satisfactorily. The third neonate had no radiological feature of gut perforation but cecal perforation was found at surgery; the neonate recovered following right hemicolectomy with stoma followed by anorectoplasty at five months. The fourth neonate presented with clinical and radiological features of perforation and recovered satisfactorily after anoplasty and colostomy.

Acute appendicitis presenting as acute hemiscrotum in a boy.

A 6-year-old boy presented with diffuse abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting followed by features of acute scrotum. Laboratory and radiological evaluation suggested presence of infective pathology in the inguinoscrotal region. Surgical exploration revealed patent right processus vaginalis with purulent collection resulting from the presence of perforated tip of appendix in the hernial sac. Appendectomy with drainage of scrotal collection and ligation of hernial sac resulted in satisfactory recovery.

Post-traumatic retroperitoneal colonic injury presenting as gluteal abscess.

We report an 8-year-old boy who sustained blunt retroperitoneal right colonic injury in a vehicular accident and presented with gluteal abscess. Surgical exploration revealed perforated posterior wall of ascending colon with surrounding retroperitoneal abscess communicating with the gluteal region. Right hemicolectomy with drainage of retroperitoneal and gluteal collections resulted in satisfactory recovery.

Sewing needle appendicitis in a child.

A six-year-old boy presented with abdominal pain and vomiting five days after accidental ingestion of a sewing needle. The presence of the needle in the right iliac fossa on plain roentgenogram along with signs of appendicular inflammation on clinical and laboratory evaluation provided a clue to the diagnosis. Surgical exploration revealed inflamed appendix with the ingested needle in its lumen. The child recovered after appendectomy, and is well six months later.

Ectopic pancreas as a cause of gastric outlet obstruction in an infant.

We report a one-month-old male child who presented with clinical and radiological features of gastric outlet obstruction. Surgical exploration showed presence of a prepyloric mass; histological examination of the resected specimen confirmed presence of ectopic pancreatic tissue. The child is well 8 months later.
