Meckel’s diverticulum (MD) is the most common congenital abnormality of the gastrointestinal tract. Painless intestinal hemorrhage is a frequently occurring complication that relates to MD in children. Bowel obstruction is a rare complication of MD in children. We report on the case of a fouryear old male child who presented with abdominal pain and hematemesis. Finally, bowel obstruction due to MD was confirmed at surgery.

Abstract Objective We aimed to report a rare complication of acute pancreatitis which developed during Salmonella infection. Methods We report a 4-year-old girl with pancreatitis that occurred after salmonella gastroenteritis. Discussion Salmonella sp. infections cause serious mortality and morbidity worldwide. Salmonella transmission is mostly fecal oral from contaminated water and foods. Acute pancreatitis expresses the acute inflammatory process of the pancreas. Inflammation of the pancreas associated with bacterial, viral, and fungal agents can lead to acute pancreatitis. There are limited data regarding the frequency of infections leading to pancreatitis. Here, a pediatric case with pancreatitis that occurred after salmonella gastroenteritis is reported. Conclusion Acute pancreatitis due to S. sp. infection is very rare in children. Pancreatitis should be considered in patients with gastroenteritis with typical abdominal pain.

Stromal Tumors

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) are rare mesenchimal neoplasmas of the gastrointestinal tract. The diagnosis of this tumors are often very difficult. Patients with this tumor are usually admitted to the hospital cause of the gastrointestinal bleeding, abdominal pain, abdominal distension, dysphagia, obstructive jaundice and bowel obstruction. In this case report, we present a 86 year old patient with massive GIST of the stomach which was not preoperatively diagnosed. .

First Case

Spontaneous perforation is a very rare complication of pyometra. The clinical findings of perforated pyometra are similar to perforation of the gastrointestinal tract and other causes of acute abdomen. In most cases, a correct and definite diagnosis can be made only by laparotomy. We report two cases of diffuse peritonitis caused by spontaneous perforated pyometra. The first case is a 78-year-old woman with abdominal pain for which laparotomy was performed because of suspected incarcerated hernia. The second case is a 61-year-old woman with abdominal pain for which laparotomy was performed because of symptoms of peritonitis. At laparotomy of both cases, 1 liter of pus with the source of uterine was found in the abdominal cavity. The ruptured uterine is also detected. More investigations revealed no malignancy as the reason of the pyometra.

Duplication of the gastrointestinal tract is an uncommon congenital abnormality that can occur anywhere from the tongue to the anus. The duodenum is the least common location for such an abnormality, which usually manifests as a spherical cyst-like structure that can present as mechanical bowel obstruction, biliary obstruction or an abdominal mass, among other presentations. Such abnormalities are typically detected during childhood but here we report a case of duodenal duplication discovered as a complication of laparoscopic cholecystectomy in an adult.

Secondary Causes

Pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis (PCI) refers to the presence of gas within the wall of the small or large intestine. The pathophysiology is incompletely understood and is probably multifactorial in nature. PCI is a known but rare complication of systemic scleroderma, and the aetiology of PCI in patients with scleroderma is not fully understood. We present the case of a patient who was referred to gastroenterology clinic by her general practitioner for investigation of 8 months of weight loss, urgency, diarrhoea, bloating and crampy abdominal pain. Extensive investigations were performed to exclude infective, inflammatory or malignant aetiologies for these symptoms. She was diagnosed with PCI on her colonoscopy and was subsequently screened for secondary causes. Our patient was diagnosed with the limited cutaneous (CREST) variant of systemic scleroderma. This case report illustrates that PCI could be an uncommon presentation of systemic sclerosis, therefore clinicians should be aware of the association between these conditions.

Authors are presenting the case of a 34year old female, with no known comorbidities, who after recent travel to Pakistan, presented with fever for 1 month and was diagnosed with typhoid fever.During her admission she developed bleeding per rectum and abdominal pain labeled as right-side colitis, confirmed by endoscopy and CT scan, which was managed surgically by extended right hemicolectomy and ileostomy.The aim of this case is to discuss a rare complication of typhoid fever which is lower gastrointestinal bleeding, and high light the importance of considering rare infectious cases if not in endemic areas.

Enteric fever is a systemic disease characterised predominantly by fever and abdominal pain, caused by dissemination of Salmonella Typhi or Salmonella Paratyphi. Enteric fever can affect many organ systems including liver, gastrointestinal tract, kidney and brain. Neurological manifestations occur in 2%–40% of patients and include meningitis, Gullian-Barré syndrome, neuritis and neuro-psychiatric symptoms. Spastic quadriparesis is a rare complication.

Gall Stone Ileus

Gallstone ileus is an uncommon and often life-threatening complication of cholelithiasis. In this case report, we discuss a difficult diagnostic case of gallstone ileus presenting as small gut obstruction with ischemia. A 56-year-old female presented with abdominal pain and vomiting. A CT scan was performed and showed an evolving bowel obstruction with features of gut ischemia with pneumobilia although no frank hyper density suggestive of a gallstone was noted. The patient underwent emergency surgery and a 60 mm obstructing calculus was removed from the patient's jejunum, with a formal tube cholecystostomy. JMS 2018: 21 (2):117-119

<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Mycotic aneurysm of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) is a rare complication of infective endocarditis. We report a case with infective endocarditis involving the aortic valve complicated by multiple septic embolisms. The patient was treated with antibiotics for 6 weeks. During preparation for surgical treatment, the patient developed acute abdominal pain and was diagnosed with a ruptured SMA aneurysm, which was successfully treated with an emergency operation of aneurysm ligation. The aortic valve was replaced 17 days later and the patient recovered uneventfully. In conclusion, we present a rare case with infective endocarditis (IE) complicated by SMA aneurysm. Antibiotic treatment did not prevent the rupture of SMA aneurysm. Abdominal pain in a patient with a recent history of IE should be excluded with ruptured aneurysm.</span></p>
