Abstract

A rare case of single system cecoureterocele associated with ipsilateral dysplastic kidney in a 4-year-old girl is reported. The preoperative radiological and endoscopic investigations identified ureterocele but not its cecal extension. The latter was diagnosed only during the transvesical surgery. Complete cure of her symptoms was achieved following staged procedures comprising of right ipsilateral nephroureterectomy followed by combined transvesical and transurethral deroofing of the cecoureterocele, excision of ureteric stump and its extension in the bladder and repair of the detrusor. This is the second case report in English language literature of single-system cecoureterocele.

[Cecal volvulus: a case report in a child].

Volvulus of the caecum is a rare entity in childhood. We report on a case of caecal volvulus in a 6-year-old child, admitted with clinical symptoms of gut occlusion and shock. Outcome was favourable after surgical treatment. The epidemiological, clinical, radiological aspects and therapy are discussed in light of data of the literature.

Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome with involvement of coecum and rectum: a rare cause of lower gastrointestinal bleeding.

Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome (KTS) is a congenital malformation usually presenting limb asymmetry, abnormal development of the deep and superficial veins, and cutaneous capillary malformations. We describe the case of a 56-year-old male KTS patient who suffered from recurrent but life non-threatening lower gastrointestinal bleeding. Colonoscopy revealed multiple extensive cavernous hemangiomas in the coecum and the ascending colon as well as the sigmoid colon and the rectum. MR imaging showed numerous dilated vessels within the left gluteal and inguinal region. The mucosal and the submucosal layers particularly of the sigmoid colon and rectum appeared markedly broadened and displayed high signal intensities in the STIR sequences. Due to only moderate oozing at time of admission the patient was treated with oral iron supplementation so far.
