Trans-mesenteric hernia remains the most common form. We report transmesenteric hernia in a neonate and infant presented with intestinal obstruction.

It is a benign tumor of embryonic adiposis tissue that primarily occurs in children younger than 3-years. Lipoblastoma is most located in the extremities and trunk. There is the focal circumscribed lipoblastoma and the infiltrating lipoblastoma. The management is complete surgical resection. Through a clinical description, we report the case of a lipoblastoma in a 7-month-old infant. The study aims to compare the clinical and outcome aspect with those in the literature. Case: A 7-old-month girl, who presents from birth a masse on the right trapezius muscle, fixed 8x 5 cm of large. No inflammatory signs in front of the tumor and no other location. We performed a total resection of the tumor and the pathology analysis found a lipoblastoma. After 2-years of follow-up, there is no recurrent tumor. The patient had no symptoms. Discussion: Lipoblastoma is a rare infant tumor with boy tendency. Another rare localization is reported as t...

The peritoneal localization is common even in pediatric patients. The macroscopics aspects of the peritoneal and/or intestine granulations are pathognomonic. However, its diagnosis by an inguinal hernia is exceptional. Our work aims to discuss the particularities of this unusual presentation of peritoneal tuberculosis. Case report: A 10-year-old girl who presented with a painless inguinal hernia. In per operatory, there was a granulomatous inflammation of the vaginalis process. The diagnosis of tuberculosis was confirmed by histopathologic study and the patient started the anti-tuberculosis drugs. After one year of follow-up, the girl is good and has no symptoms. Discussion: Opinions are divided when to cure the hernia. Is it necessary to do a laparoscopic exploration and biopsy then to secondarily cure the hernia; or go through the inguinal way to cure the hernia and do a peritoneal biopsy? In our case, we performed by the same surgical time the cure of the hernia and the biopsy and it did not impact negatively the follow-up. Conclusion: This revelation mode of peritoneal tuberculosis by inguinal hernia is exceptional but possible.

Uterine prolapse is an exceptional presentation of its complications. We aim to describe the clinical and progressive features of uterine prolapse in a newborn baby with spina bifida. Observation: 19-day-old newborn. Admitted for spina bifida. The clinical examination showed an anal gaping, the presence of uterovaginal prolapse and bilateral equine varus clubfoot. The particularity was that this prolapse had a spontaneous resolution but appears with screams. We made a compression bandage at the time of resolution. After a 6-month of follow-up, the baby is in good general condition and, there is no recurrence of the prolapse. Conclusion: Uterine prolapse is a rare complication of spina bifida. The main therapeutic component remains the prevention of spina bifida.

The aim of this study was to evaluate our 10-year experience in the diagnostic process and surgical management of oesophageal achalasia (OA) in children. Methods: A retrospective review of all children (age: 0–15 years) treated for achalasia at the department of paediatric surgery from 2007 to 2016 was conducted. The demographics, presenting symptoms, associated diseases, diagnostic process, outcomes and complications were analysed. Results: Fourteen patients were identified, with a mean age of 5.2 years. There were eight female and six male patients. The most common symptom was chronic vomiting, in all patients (100%), followed by weight loss in 10 (71.4%), cough in 6 (42.9%), dysphagia in 5 (35.7%) and chest pain in 3 (21.4%). The mean duration of symptoms until diagnosis was 36.3 ± 29.1 months. Three patients underwent an open Heller myotomy (HM) and 11 laparoscopic HM (LHM) including three...
