A 4-month-old male with Raghib syndrome: a rare case report from Syria.

Introduction and importance: Raghib syndrome is a rare congenital complication consisting of the termination of the left superior vena cava (LSVC) in the left atrium, an unroofed coronary sinus, and an atrial septal defect most often found in the posterior-inferior angle of the atrial septum. Both a right-to-left and a left-to-right intracardiac shunt exist. In most circumstances, they do not show any symptoms. Presentation of case: The patient presented with a persistent left superior vena cava draining into the left atrium, an unroofed coronary sinus, and a secondary atrial septal defect (ASD). Transthoracic echocardiography was used to diagnose the condition, and surgery was applied as the primary treatment. Clinical discussion: It was formerly believed that this complex was exclusive to Raghib syndrome; however, cases have been found in which the interatrial connection is the aperture of the unroofed coronary sinus in patients with a normal atrial septum. Conclusion: Extracardiac treatment for this illness reduces the load on the left atrial suture and may stop further arrhythmias. There is no possibility of pulmonary vein flow restriction when there are no atrial tunnels.

Small bowel obstruction in a 29-year-old male with congenital peritoneal bands: A rare case report from Syria.

This case highlights the significance of maintaining clinical suspicion for CPBs in adults presenting with SBO. Early surgical intervention, offering both diagnosis and treatment, is essential for managing this rare cause of SBO. Increased clinical awareness of CPBs will help ensure they are considered in the differential diagnosis of adult patients with bowel obstruction.
