Hemangioma is the most common vascular tumor of infancy; presentation is often as cutaneous infantile hemangioma (IH). Cutaneous hemangioma is a clinical diagnosis. Most IHs follow a benign course, with complete involution without treatment in the majority of cases. Visceral hemangioma often involves the liver and manifests as a life-threatening disorder. Hepatic hemangiomas may be associated with high output cardiac failure, coagulopathy, and hepatomegaly which generally develop between 1 and 16 weeks of age. Mortality has been reportedly high without treatment. We report a rare case of a male infant with neonatal hemangiomatosis with diffuse peritoneal involvement, which mimicked a malignant-looking tumor on imaging, and discuss therapeutic options and efficacy. Propranolol is efficacious for IH but generally not useful for other forms of vascular hemangiomas, tumors, and malformations. In our case of neonatal peritoneal hemangiomatosis, propranolol appears to have halted the growth and possibly expedite the involution of the hemangiomatosis without other treatments.

Salmonella meningitis is a disease with high mortality in infants though incidence is rare. This article reports a case of Salmonella meningitis in a two months male infant, who presented with high fever, convulsion and difficulty in breathing. Salmonella typhi was isolated from cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), that showed resistance to Cephalosporins, Fluroquinoles, Macrolides and Aminoglycosides but susceptiblity to Chloramphenicol and Cotrimaxozole. This case was admitted on fourth day of onset of illness and treated with parenteral Vancomycin and Ceftriaxone to cover both gram positive and negative bacterial agents of bacterial meningitis in a young infant, but succumbed to death on ninth day of illness. This indicated importance of S. typhi as a possible bacterial etiology and a great concern on resistance to the normally chosen antibiotics. An early suspicion can be suggested to reduce the risk of mortality. Environmental hygiene and household cleanliness practices also warrants attention, which were identified as possible risks for enteric infection in spite the baby was absolutely breast fed.

Background and Importance: Sacrococcygeal Teratoma (SCT) with medular invasion is rare. Case Presentation: We report a case of an 11-month male infant, with no prenatal history of any abnormality, presenting since birth, a mass in the buttock extended to retrorectum associated with a right side hypotonic limb and monoplegia. Medullar and abdominal pelvic Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) showed a sacrococcygeal tissue mass and intradural lumbosacral invasion with a high level of alpha-fetoprotein. Surgical excision was done successfully with an uneventful follow-up. Conclusion: Despite of the intradural invasion, those SCT are in major cases mature and present low risk of malignancy or recurrence.

Acquired colonic atresias are very rare but, are known in association with necrotizing enterocolitis. We report a case of a 4-month term male infant with recurrent episodes of abdominal distension, bilious vomiting and constipation off and on, without the history of necrotizing enterocolitis. Exploratory laparotomy was performed, an inflammatory mass with multiple dense interloop adhesions were found in the mid-transverse colon. These adhesions were lysed to identify the proximal dilated and distal blind end of the colon.  Rest of the gut was normal.  This case is unique for the fact that, it is a case of acquired colonic atresia without history of necrotizing enterocolitis, unlike other reported cases of acquired colonic atresia.

AbstractHarlequin syndrome is a condition characterized by autonomic dysfunction leading to hemifacial flushing on one side with pallor and impaired sweating on the other side. It is a rare condition that can be both congenital and acquired, with congenital cases being rarer, comprising ∼6% of all Harlequin syndrome cases. Harlequin syndrome is usually associated with other autonomic disturbances including Horner syndrome especially when presenting as a congenital condition. We reported the findings of a rare case of concomitant congenital Horner and Harlequin syndromes in an otherwise healthy 4-month-old male infant patient and provided a review of the current literature.

Ectopia cordis is a very rare form of congenital malformation in which the heart is located outside the thorax, partially or totally. This abnormally located heart may be found in different anatomical locations, such as thoracic, abdominal, thoraco-abdominal, cervical or cervicothoracic. In majority, the heart projects outside the chest through a breach in sternum. This unique rare case report presents a male infant born at a peripheral hospital which was later referred to out tertiary care cardiac research institute. In our case thoracic ectopia was associated with complex cardiac anomalies. The baby had good APGAR scores at birth. The baby died 10 days after birth as a result of cardiac failure and septicaemia.

AbstractObjective:We report the rare case of an oesophageal foreign body which lodged above the site of oesophageal compression by a double aortic arch.Methods:Case report and a review of the literature surrounding the classification, embryology, diagnosis and management of vascular rings and slings.Results:An eight-month-old male infant presented with symptoms of tracheal compression following ingestion of an oesophageal foreign body. Following removal of the oesophageal foreign body, the infant's symptoms improved initially. However, subsequent recurrence of respiratory symptoms lead to a repeat bronchoscopy and the diagnosis of a coexisting double aortic arch, causing tracheal and oesophageal compression.Conclusion:To our knowledge, this is only the second reported case of a double aortic arch being diagnosed in a patient following removal of an oesophageal foreign body.

Inguinal Herniotomy

The chance of vermiform appendix lying with in a hernial sac is 1% or less and is known as Amyand's hernia and it is very rare in infant and neonate. Till date, only twenty cases had been reported in English literature. We are reporting a rare case of Amyand's hernia where appendix was present in right inguinal sac of non-obstructed inguinal hernia in a seven month old male infant during operation. The appendectomy was done along with right inguinal herniotomy. In most of the reported cases, appendix was inflamed or perforated, expect in one case where appendix was not inflamed but patient presented with inguinal hernia. This case is reported because of the rarity of Amyand's hernia in infant, the appendix was not inflamed, hernia was not obstructed, and whether in such types of cases appendix should be preserved or not. Key words: Amyand's hernia; infant; appendectomy DOI: 10.3126/kumj.v7i2.2708 Kathmandu University Medical Journal (2009) Vol.7, No.2 Issue 26, 143-144
