Introduction This report will discuss a case of minimally conjoined omphalopagus twins (MCOTs) with a body stalk anomaly (BSA). Case Report We experienced monochorionic diamniotic (MD) twins born at 31 weeks. One infant was suspicious of BSA before birth, and another infant was normal. But normal infant had anal atresia with small intestine which was inserted behind the umbilicus. Twins had ver...

Calliostoma tupinamba isa new species from Southeastern Brazil, ranging from southern Rio de Janeiro to northern São Paulo, and found only on coastal islands, on rocks and sessile invertebrates at 3 to 5 meters of depth. Shell and soft part morphology is described here in detail. Calliostoma tupinamba is mainly characterized by a depressed trochoid shell; eight slightly convex whorls; a sharply...

A baby boy, aged 14 days, presented with a temperature of 38.2°C (100.8°F), a generalized maculopapular rash, and purulent otorrhea. He was treated with oral amoxicillin for 10 days. At age 25 days, he again presented—this time with erythema and edema of the umbilicus, thrush, and fever of 24 hours' duration. The cord stump had dried and fallen off 2 days earlier. (The umbilical stump had been ...

On opening the peritoneal cavity, no coils of small intestine were visible, but instead a glistening tense tumour was noticed occupying the middle of the abdomen, extending more to the left side and coming down to about one inch below the umbilicus. The incision was extended upwards. The small intestine was found enclosed inside thi...

A 1-day-old male baby, weighing 2kg, presented with bilious vomiting and a mass at umbilicus covered by abnormally thickened base of umbilicus (hernia of umbilical cord). The mother was not on any antenatal follow-up. The delivery was spontaneous vaginal at home. On examination abdomen was scaphoid. Abdominal radiograph showed three air fluid levels indicative of associated small bowel atresia....

urachal anomalies are exceptionally rare. they can present in different ways in childhood as well as in adults. we present an interesting case of vesico-urachal diverticulum with alternating sinus. the interesting finding in this patient was the inversion and disappearance of the umbilicus at the termination of voiding

A small lightly-built woman rather pallid, but free from scorbutic taint. Both legs oedematous as far as knees. Skin of lower part of abdomen also much thickened by oelema. The girth of belly round umbilicus was 43 inches. Length from ensifonn cartilage to symphysis pubis 25 inches. (Since the operation these measurements have been reduced to (1) girth round umbilicus 23^ inches, (2) from ensif...

Ultrasonography (Figure 1) showed a heterogeneous, multilocular collection measuring about 90 cc lying anterior to a partially distended urinary bladder. Further, a CT scan study (Figure 2) was done for detailed evaluation. A multiloculated cystic area with peripheral enhancement of the wall of the loculi could be noted lying adjacent to the anterior abdominal wall and anterosuperior to the uri...
