Ureteral quadruplication: The fourth case report

Among development abnormalities of the upper urinary tract, ureteral duplication is a very common finding while triplication is quite rare. Ureteral quadruplication is exceedingly unusual; to our knowledge only three cases have been reported over the past 25 years and all of them concerned adult patients. We present a case of unilateral quadruplicated ureters in a 9-month-old infant. Review of the literature failed to reveal documentation of such a case.SCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe

Un cas inhabituel de duplication du canal rachidien.

We describe here a very rare congenital malformation, in which the vertebra Th 9 to 11 were divided into independent bodies and neural arches. The vertebral canal contained the spinal cord, whereas the space between bodies and arches was filled by nerve roots and a central remnant cord, not clearly connected to the main spinal cord. This malformation was considered as related to a fetal alcohol syndrome, with craniofacial and genitourinary abnormalities. The authors analyze, moreover the possible role of abnormal Sonic Hedgehog gene patterning in the pathogeny of this complex malformative sequence.Case ReportsEnglish AbstractJournal Articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe

An unusual case of herniation of small bowel through an iatrogenic defect the falciform ligament

Internal herniation through a congenital defect in the falciform ligament is extremely rare. We report an unusual observation of small bowel obstruction through an iatrogenic defect of the falciform ligament. Prompt diagnosis was made by helical CT, permitting a rapid surgical procedure to preserve the viability of the obstructed segment.SCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe
