Congenital duodenal band masquerading as duodenal atresia in a neonate: a diagnostic challenge.

Duodenal anomalies represent a spectrum of congenital malformations that may present with similar clinical and radiological findings. We report a rare case of a congenital duodenal band mimicking duodenal atresia in a neonate. A primigravida woman in her 20s presented with polyhydramnios and suspected fetal duodenal atresia on antenatal ultrasound.

Urinoma Due to Spontaneous Rupture of the Renal Pelvis Mimicking Appendicitis.

Spontaneous rupture of the renal pelvis (SRRP) with urine extravasation is rare. This condition is primarily associated with an obstructing ureteric calculus. It creates a diagnostic dilemma, especially when the clinical diagnosis can be inconsistent.

Gastric Necrosis: A Rare Complication of Gastric Mucormycosis.

Mucormycosis is an invasive fungal infection. The prevalence is low for this disease, and the most common site of its occurrence in the gastrointestinal system is the stomach. The clinical signs and symptoms of gastric mucormycosis are vague such as pain in the abdomen, nausea, vomiting, haematemesis, etc.

Intra-Uterine Perforation Presented as a Giant Cystic Abdominal Mass in a Neonate: A Giant Meconium Pseudocyst.

A meconium pseudocyst is formed following meconium peritonitis. At present, antenatal diagnosis and planned management of meconium pseudocyst have reduced the mortality rate significantly. We presented a case of a neonate with abdominal distension and non-passage of meconium who experienced respiratory distress and was taken for exploratory laparotomy at a tertiary care center due to suspected bowel perforation.
