A rare case report of aphallia with hypoplastic kidney and vesicorectal fistula.

Aphallia or penile agenesis is a rare case of the genitourinary system which has an association with upper urinary tract disorder. Failure of fetal genital tubercle formation in the embryonic period is the cause of this disorder. The incidence of aphallia according to previous studies is about 1 in 10-30 million births. We report a case of a child with the absence of the penis with associated kidney hypoplasia and vesicorectal fistula.

A rare Abernethy Ib malformation was initially misdiagnosed as chronic portal vein thrombosis in a 27-year-old female.

Abernethy malformation or congenital portosystemic shunt is a rare congenital vascular malformation and anomaly of the splanchnic venous system defined by diverting portal blood away from the liver. It is commonly associated with multiple congenital anomalies. Imaging modalities such as computed tomography or magnetic resonance have a crucial role in prompting diagnosis and determining the prognosis based on the type of malformation and associated anomalies. Misdiagnosis could be harmful and may lead to inappropriate treatment. We present a case of Abernethy malformation with a complete end-to-side shunt of portal venous flow into the systemic venous flow and complete bypass of the liver, which was initially misdiagnosed with portal venous thrombosis.

Intrathoracic kidney: A rare presentation of ectopic kidney.

The thoracic kidney is the rarest form of renal ectopia. Furthermore, it is usually asymptomatic and discovered incidentally. It is seen as a mass in the posterior mediastinum or juxta-diaphragmatic on chest radiography. A computed tomography scan or magnetic resonance imaging is usually needed for a definitive diagnosis. The thoracic kidney typically exits the retroperitoneal space through the foramen of Bochdalek.

Inferior epigastric artery pseudoaneurysm following abdominal paracentesis in a patient with chronic kidney failure: A case report and review of literature.

Inferior epigastric artery (IEA) pseudoaneurysm is a rare complication following abdominal wall procedures near the artery. This is a case of inferior epigastric artery pseudoaneurysm after therapeutic paracentesis for large-volume ascites caused by chronic kidney failure. The patient was operated on, and the artery was ligated.
