ABSTRACT

Arteriovenous malformation (AVM) of urinary bladder is a very rare condition in which a section of blood vessels lacks capillary vessels resulting in blood from an artery being delivered directly to a vein. We report a rare case of AVM of the bladder wall mimicking a bladder tumour presenting with acute abdomen.

ABSTRACT

Objective: Laparoscopy has been accepted as the best diagnostic tool and suggested as the treatment of choice for non-palpable testes cases. However, its use in unilateral non-palpable testis cases has been previously debated.

Methods: The clinical records of the non-palpable testis cases that were managed with laparoscopy between January 2011 and December 2013 were retrospectively reviewed.

ABSTRACT

Thoracoabdominal foregut duplications account for less than 2% of all gastrointestinal duplications. Here, we report a case of thoracoabdominal duplication cyst in an eight-month old boy who presented with both respiratory and abdominal complaints. Excision of both thoracic and abdominal extensions of the thoracoabdominal duplications in the same session is an appropriate and safe option to prevent possible complications.
