This report presents a case of a combined infected rectal duplication cyst (RDC) associated incidentally with a meningomyelocele in and adult female documented with sagittal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A comprehensive differential diagnosis is presented. Surgical excision is recommended to prevent malignant degeneration of the RDC. CASE PRESENTATION An 18 year-old female presented with pe...

do different types of malformations occur at different levels? The multiple canal theory is not a reasonable and satisfactory enough option to explain the development of such a malformation. Although the cellular mechanisms responsible for such a theory are not fully known, experimentally induced perturbations of Hensen’s node and the primitive streak during gastrulation have resulted in embryo...

The authors describe a case of split notochord syndrome with a neuroenteric fistula in a newborn presenting with meningitis. Associated anomalies included agenesis of the corpus callosum, short colon, malrotation, epispadias, and an abnormally high bifurcation of the abdominal aorta and inferior vena cava. The embryological mechanisms and etiologic theories are discussed in short.

The most common causes of intracranial air are head trauma and neurosurgical procedures. Less common etiologies include infection due to gas-forming organisms, mucoceles, tumours, congenital neuroenteric cysts, and dural defects. Here, we present a case of a frontal sinus osteoma associated with longstanding pneumocephalus.
