Abstract Background Pilonidal disease is seen at sacrococcigeal region in prevalent number of cases. We present an unusual case abscess lumbar which turned out to be a pilonidal sinus. Case presentation A 18-year-old male presented the outpatient clinic with swelling area for 1 month. Physical examination revealed inflammatory infiltrate 1,5*1,5cm, fluctuation, located projection L4-L5 vertebra...

esophageal level for a few hours. Five days before he had been operated on for a pilonidal cyst, having henceforth been treated with clindamycin in capsules, which were ingested with very small amounts of liquid. He had been feeling some pain ever since. An upper endoscopy revealed the presence of two superficial ulcers at 30 cm (Fig. 1A) and another two deep, friable-upon-friction ulcers at 28...

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...

INTRODUCTION Pilonidal sinus (PNS) is an inflammatory condition caused by hair penetration into the epidermis. It occurs usually in sacro-coccygeal area. Intermammary pilonidal sinus is a very rare variant with a few case reports in literature. The aim of this study is to highlight the presentation and management of intermammary pilonidal sinus. METHOD A retrospective multicenter case series....

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Pilonidal sinus is a disease in the sacrococcygeal region diagnosed through the purulent discharges of the above-said region. Although the exact pathology and etiology of those suffering from pilonidal is not clear yet, the presence of hair seemingly plays a major role in the process of infection and the granulation tissue. Several techniques have been identified for p...

Pilonidal disease in the sacrococcygeal region usually presents as abscesses, recurrent inflammation, cellulitis or fistula tracks. However, few reports on actinomycosis affecting pilonidal sinuses have been published. We report a case of a 25-year-old woman who presented with a pilonidal abscess who underwent surgical drainage and debridement. Pus from the pilonidal abscess was sent for microb...

Background. The management of complex pilonidal sinus disease (PSD) with multiple pits on and beside the natal cleft is variable, contentious, and problematic. Wide excision of the sinus and reconstruction of the defect using different flap techniques have become more popular in recent years. Case Report. We report a case with a complex chronic PSD to which we applied primary closure after S-sh...

Unsatisfactory postsurgical end results in the treatment of chronic pilonidal sinus disease caused by long term healing, pain, inconvenience and recurrences of the lesion still remain problem after various surgical techniques have been described and used. This study was designed to show results of several aspects of midline closure technique with respect for surgical complications, hospitalizat...
