Pancreatic pseudocysts are cystic cavities which are localized collection of pancreatic secretions, rich in amylase and other enzymes, present in and around pancreas, encased in a false epithelial lining of fibrous or reactive granulation tissue. Extension of a pancreatic pseudocyst into the mediastinum is rare. We are reporting a case of a 5-year-old child with mediastinal pancreatic pseudocyst which was successfully drained by cystojejunostomy.
The Chronic Granulomatous Disease is a rare primary immunodeficiency disease, principally attacking white blood cells, characterized by an increased susceptibility to the recurrent bacterial and fungal infections along with the genesis of granulomas in tissue. Staphylococcus and aspergillosis are the main pathogens responsible for majority of infections in CGD. Here we report a case of 5yrs old boy who came with the complaints of fever, cough, and multiple abscess over the right leg, right ankle and left hand with puss discharge. DHR test was performed and have shown the positive results for chronic granulomatous disease.
Anorectal malformations (ARMs) have coexisting congenital anomalies. These can affect the overall prognosis. Anomalous craniofacial associations are less common. Recently, we managed two patients of ARM associated with unilateral microphthalmia, without any other major systemic anomalies. This was found to be a rare association on extensive literature search.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
