Symptomatic Meckel's diverticulum in newborn: two interesting additional cases and review of literature.

Objectives This study aimed to review the literature about symptomatic Meckel’s diverticulum (MD) in the neonatal period with 2 additional uncommon cases. Methods The authors describe 2 interesting neonatal cases of symptomatic MD and analyze the literature on this topic, with particular reference to the prevalence of sex, age at presentation, most common signs and symptoms, treatment, histology, associated anomalies, and outcome. Results The first patient was a term newborn with bowel obstruction by a pseudocystic MD. The second patient was a preterm infant with double perforation of the MD and ileum. Literature search for published case reports and case series on this topic reveals only 18 cases of neonatal symptomatic MD. Males are more frequently involved than females, and even preterm infants may be affected. Bowel obstruction (58.3%) and pneumoperitoneum (33.3%) are the most frequent clinical manifestation. Acute inflammation of the MD is the prominent histopathological finding (75%), although it does not seem to be related with the presence of heterotopic tissue within the MD. Surgical treatment is essential. The association of neonatal symptomatic MD with other anomalies is exceptional but is otherwise life threatening despite surgery. Conclusions Bowel obstruction and pneumoperitoneum are the most frequent clinical manifestations of symptomatic MD in the newborn. Surgery is required for a definitive diagnosis and successful outcome.

Recurrent Ipsilateral Ovarian Torsion: Case Report and Literature Review

BACKGROUND Recurrent ipsilateral ovarian torsion at pediatric age is a rare event. Different surgical techniques for its prevention are available. We present a case of recurrent ipsilateral ovarian torsion in a prepubertal girl and we reviewed the literature about the management of this condition. CASE A 6-year-old girl presented with right ovarian torsion and underwent a laparoscopic untwisting. Nine months later an ipsilateral recurrence occurred. Laparoscopic untwisting and right-sided oophoropexy with plication to the round ligament was performed. SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION In addition to our presented case, four cases of recurrent ipsilateral ovarian torsion in pediatric patients were identified in the literature. The few available reports in the pediatric literature show different management techniques. A long-term study is necessary to define the most effective treatment.

Massive pyuria as an unusual presentation of giant infected urachal remnant in a child

Urachal remnants (URs) are manifestations of an incomplete regression of the urachus; therefore, there may be different types of remnants such as cyst, sinus tract, diverticulum or patent urachus. The clinical presentation of a urachal anomaly includes umbilical discharge, lower abdominal pain and urinary tract infection, although a UR may also be asymptomatic. We present the case of a 2.5-year-old girl who presented with abdominal pain, stranguria and massive pyuria in which a giant infected UR was found. The diagnosis was made using abdominal MRI. The child was subjected to laparoscopic-assisted drainage and had an uneventful postoperative course.

Isolated fallopian tube torsion with hydrosalpinx: Review of a debated management in a pediatric population

Mirko Bertozzi; Elisa Magrini; Sara Riccioni; Paolo Giovenali; Antonino Appignani

PURPOSE To quantify our experience with and assess the literature on diagnosis and management of isolated fallopian tube torsion (IFTT) with hydrosalpinx (HSX) in children. METHODS A PubMed search was performed on pediatric cases of IFTT with HSX to provide a comprehensive review analyzing details and management of this association, focusing on the problem of fertility preservation. RESULTS In addition to our 3 cases, 17 patients of pediatric IFTT associated with HSX were identified, for a total of 21 cases (median age 12.2 years). Menarchal status was present in 10/13 (76.9%); blood tests were reported in 9/20 (42%) showing leucocytosis in 7/9 (75%). Ultrasonography was performed in all cases except one. Laparoscopy was the surgical approach in 84.6% of the reported cases. The torsion was to the right in 36.8%, and to the left in 63.2% of the cases. In one case the torsion was bilateral and asynchronous. Performed procedures were salpingectomy (52.4%) and partial salpingectomy (14.3%); conservative management was reported in 33.3% of the cases. CONCLUSIONS The literature describes different management techniques. Salpingectomy is the most frequently performed procedure but recently conservative management seems to be increasingly applied. A long-term study is necessary to define the most effective treatment for the preservation of future fertility in pediatric patients. TYPE OF STUDY Treatment study (Retrospective Study): LEVEL IV.

Obstructive internal hernia caused by mesodiverticular bands in children: Two case reports and a review of the literature

Mirko Bertozzi; Berardino Melissa; Elisa Magrini; Giuseppe Di Cara; Susanna Esposito; Antonino Apignani

Introduction: The mesodiverticular band (MDB) is an embryologic remnant of the vitelline circulation, which carries the arterial supply to the Meckel diverticulum. In the event of an error of involution, a patent or nonpatent arterial band persists and extends from the mesentery to the apex of the antimesenteric diverticulum. This creates a snare-like opening through which bowel loops may herniate and become obstructed. This report describes 2 rare cases of small bowel occlusion owing to an internal hernia caused by a MDB. Cases: Case 1 was a 5-year-old boy who presented to our Emergency Department with colicky abdominal pain diffused to all abdominal quadrants. He also had 5 episodes of emesis, the last with bilious vomiting. Case 2, a 12-year-old boy, presented to our Emergency Department complaining of colicky abdominal pain. He had 2 episodes of nonbilious emesis. On physical examination, both children showed distension and tenderness of the abdomen and abdominal x-ray and ultrasound confirmed an occlusive picture without an apparent etiology. In case 1, an urgent laparotomy was performed and the MDB was ligated and cut, whereas in case 2 diagnosis and excision were performed in laparotomy. In both patients, there was a positive clinical evolution. Conclusion: Although MDB causing internal hernia is very rare, it should be considered in patients with a clinical picture of small bowel obstruction. In these cases, early surgery is important to prevent strangulation and gangrene of the bowel and to avoid dramatic events. Moreover, laparoscopy seems a safe and effective technique in these patients, especially in children with mild abdominal distention without surgical or trauma history, highlighting that further studies on the value of laparoscopy for the treatment of small bowel obstruction in pediatric patients are urgently needed.
