A Strangulated Amyand's hernia:The first case report in Syria.

ABSTRACT: Amyand's hernia is a rare case of inguinal hernia where the hernia sac contains the appendix, and depending on the condition of the appendix, this type is classified into under types where the appendix can be normal, inflamed, or even perforated. Accordingly, the patient's condition can be good or bad. In our case, we have a 13-year-old child who suffers from abdominal pain and discomfort. He is referred to the emergency department with this complaint. By clinical and radiological examination, the presence of an inguinal hernia containing the appendix was found. Based on that, we performed emergency and investigative surgery in order to determine the condition of the appendix and whether there is suffocation or not. It was found by surgical opening that the hernia was incarcerated and this required excision of the appendix and repair of the hernia.

Strangulated internal supravesical hernia associated with left inguinal hernia: A very rare case report of acute intestinal obstruction.

Project description:Internal hernias are a rare cause of acute intestinal obstruction. Supravesical hernia is an exceptional form of hernia that is often diagnosed intraoperatively. The abdominal CT scan performed in the emergency guides the preoperative diagnosis. Our work concerns a patient admitted to the visceral surgical department of the university hospital ibn Rochd of Casablanca for an occlusion dating back to 05 days, the abdmonial x-ray objectified hydro-aerial levels in the small intestine, and the CT scan found an invagination at the left fossa iliaca associated with a double hernia: internal supravesical and left inguinal. The patient was then operated after conditioning and the diagnosis of an internal supravesical hernia was retained per operatively. Internal supravesical hernia is a very rare cause of acute intestinal occlusion and is often diagnosed at the time of surgical exploration.

Sciatic hernia led to strangulated ileum and ipsilateral ovary: A case report and review of literature.

Project description:Sciatic hernia is one of the rarely pelvic floor hernias. We report a 45-year-old woman who presented with acute crampy pain of hypogastrium which radiated down the back of the left thigh and found a mass in her left buttock area which is about fist size with local pain, so she had to force to bow position when walking. She was also associated with definite gastro-intestinal symptoms. Computed tomography (CT) of the pelvis and abdomen demonstrated the herniation of an ileal loop through the sciatic foramen on the left side. The diagnosis and management of this case are herein described and previous publications on sciatic hernias are reviewed.

Successful laparoscopic management of strangulated left paraduodenal hernia: A case report and review of minimally invasive approaches.

Project description:IntroductionParaduodenal hernias are rare congenital anomalies that can lead to acute bowel obstruction and strangulation. Laparoscopic management of these complex cases in emergency settings remains challenging, particularly when bowel ischemia is present.Case presentationWe report a case of a 56-year-old woman presenting with acute small bowel obstruction due to a strangulated left paraduodenal hernia. Emergency laparoscopic surgery revealed ischemic bowel segments within the hernia sac. We utilized indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging to assess bowel perfusion intraoperatively, guiding our decision for bowel resection. The procedure involved hernia reduction, resection of non-viable bowel, and primary anastomosis, followed by hernia defect closure. Despite encountering a small bowel injury during reduction, we successfully completed the procedure laparoscopically.DiscussionThis case demonstrates the feasibility of laparoscopic management for complicated paraduodenal hernias with bowel strangulation in emergency settings. The use of ICG imaging for real-time perfusion assessment represented a novel application in this context, aiding in the precise identification of ischemic bowel segments requiring resection.ConclusionLaparoscopic repair of strangulated paraduodenal hernias is feasible and effective, even in emergency scenarios. The integration of advanced imaging techniques like ICG fluorescence may enhance intraoperative decision-making, particularly in assessing bowel viability. This approach potentially reduces the extent of bowel resection and improves outcomes in these complex cases.

Primary umbilical cutaneous endometriosis: The first case report in Syria.

Project description:Endometriosis in the umbilical region is a very rare case. Although it is possible to have migrating endometrial glands and stroma outside the uterus, for example, the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and other pelvic organs, the umbilicus is a unique place. In our case it was a 40-year- old female patient with no surgical history. She has been suffering for years from symptoms that are very consistent with endometriosis in terms of pain, mass and bleeding. but the diagnostic procedures from imaging and pathology have been taken completely up, then the case was managed while preserving the patient's reproductive function.

Allgrove syndrome: Case report of 18 years old male:the first case report from Syria.

Project description:Triple A syndrome 3A (Allgrove syndrome) is a rare autosomal recessive multiorgans dysfunction characterized by alacrima, achalasia which is the absence of esophageal muscle peristalsis and lower sphincter failure to relax and adrenal insufficiency. About third of patient additional features like neurological and autonomic manifestations reported (making the syndrome 4A), the spectrum of neurological symptoms varies including gait disturbances, parkinsonism, muscle wakeness, mental retardation, peripheral sensory and motor neuropathy. Here we reported A 18 years old male, who had postnatal recurrent conjunctivitis so alacrima was diagnosed, in the sventh years he developed achalasia signs; dysphagia and regurgitation and laparscopic surgical myotomy and fundoplication were done, when he became 16 he presented to our clinic for poor appetite, weight loss,and failure to thrive. Assessment of ACTH, cortisol, ACTH stimulation test confirmed he had adrenal insufficiency and physical examination showed he had foots deformity due to muscular atrophy caused by neuropathy.treatment performed by managing symptoms of the condition(replacement of glucocorticoids, surgical correction of achalasia, artificial tears).The follow-up was over a period of 6 months and we noted a great improvement of patient's condition.

Emphysematous pyelonephritis: A rare case report from Syria.

Project description:IntroductionEmphysematous pyelonephritis is a rare necrotizing infection of the kidney. It should be diagnosed early because it has a bad prognosis. Treatments range from intravenous antibiotics to nephrectomy in severe cases.Presentation of caseA 67 years old female with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus presented with fever, right flank pain, and dysuria. Computed tomography for abdominal and pelvis showed gas inside the right kidney. After administration of intravenous antibiotics, she underwent right nephrectomy. Next, she was admitted to intensive care unit for monitoring. After three days, she was discharged with no complains. Follow-up for three months showed full recovery.Clinical discussionEmphysematous pyelonephritis is an emergent condition. A history of uncontrolled diabetes mellitus with current flank pain with fever raises the suspicion. Computed tomography could be performed to confirm the diagnosis.ConclusionSevere cases of emphysematous pyelonephritis are an emergent condition that needs nephrectomy.

Hernia after retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomy, case report.

Project description:We report the first case of a previously undocumented complication after posterior retroperitoneal adrenalectomy (PRA). Extensive diagnostic procedures for persisting abdominal pain led to diagnosis of an incisional hernia (IH) approximately 2.5 years after surgery for a pheochromocytoma of the right adrenal gland. Thus, IHs need to be recognized as a potential complication after PRA, particularly if the symptoms are non-specific. The differential diagnosis of an IH after PRA includes a type of spontaneous lumbar hernia due to a pre-existing weakness of the abdominal wall however the treatment for both type of hernias is similar by mesh repair. A possible risk factor for IH after PRA might be obesity, due to different factors including difficulties in closing the fascia in depth under subcutaneous tissue.

Laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal repair of strangulated femoral hernia: Superiority of an unusual emergency surgical approach due to a case.

Project description:IntroductionInguinal hernia repair is one of the most common operations of general surgery. In order to avoid complicated and urgent cases, performing such operations electively is generally accepted. Otherwise, unforeseen emergency surgical situations accompanied by incarceration and strangulation may occur.Case presentationIn this article, we present a 45-year-old female patient with strangulated femoral hernia repair that we performed using the laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal method, unlike other conventional methods.DiscussionEarly diagnosis and elective surgical treatment have an important role in hernia surgery, especially due to increased morbidity and mortality. Laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair has developed in the recent years as a prominent method and nowadays it is performed much easier than the open method even in urgent and challenging cases.ConclusionThe transabdominal preperitoneal method has superiority over the conventional method in terms of ensuring that intestinal loop is visible during the strangulated femoral hernia repair and that the feeding of the intestine is intact.

Renal primitive neuroectodermal tumor. The first case series from Syria

Project description:Primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) mainly arises from soft tissues of the extremities such as humerus, femur, C tibia. It rarely arises from kidney; less than 200 cases have been reported in the literature. The clinical presentation and radiography findings are not specific. Here we first report two cases of renal primitive neuroectodermal tumor in Syria. the first patient was 26-year-old- female that presented to urology clinic complaining of right flank pain. Ultrasonography of the abdomen showed a large mixed heterogeneous mass in the right kidney with no hemorrhage or calcification and MSCT of abdomen and pelvis demonstrate a mixed well-demarcated heterogeneous mass measuring (74*117) mm in the right kidney right radical nephrectomy was performed. The second patient 19-year-old-male presented with left flank pain. Ultrasonography of the abdomen showed mixed large mass involving the left kidney, with unmarked border. The CT of the abdomen and pelvis demonstrating a (30*110*90) mm left renal mass and periaortic lymphadenopathy measuring (45*28) mm. The patient underwent Left radical nephrectomy with periaortic lymphadenectomy dissection. The final diagnosis for both cases was Renal PNET based on microscopic and immunohistochemistry examination. In patient with suspected renal mass in the radiographic images, the diagnosis of renal primitive neuroectodermal tumor should be kept in the mind despite its rarity. The final diagnosis is done by histopathological study in association with immunohistochemical examination. Highlights • Here we will first report two cases of renal PNET in Syria.• The diagnosis of renal primitive neuroectodermal tumor should be kept in the mind despite its rarity.• The final diagnosis is done by histopathological study in association with immunohistochemical examination.
