Article Abstract
Rationale: Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma (KHE) is an aggressive vascular tumor, mainly occurring in infants and young children and previously reported cases were mainly cutaneous or visceral form. Intestinal kaposiform hemangioma was first reported in 2012. Intestinal type KHE showed better prognosis if the lesion was limited in the gastrointestinal tract and coagulopathy was not accompanied. Since the number of reported cases is small, further study for treatment options and prognosis need to be done.
Patient Concerns: We described the case of a 1-month-old female who had abdominal distention and bilious vomiting.
Diagnoses: She was suspected as intestinal obstruction after diagnostic work up.
Interventions: Surgical exploration was performed and jejunal obstruction with a mass was identified. Small bowel segmental resection and anastomosis was performed.
Outcomes: The patient discharged with symptom free. Through the pathological examination, the mass was identified as intestinal type KHE.
Lessons: Intestinal KHE can cause bowel obstruction and be managed successfully with complete surgical resection. More cases should be reported and further evaluation for treatment options and prognosis evaluation is necessary.

This study presents a medico-legal case study of an infant who died as a result of intestinal volvulus, a rare but severe complication secondary to the ingestion of multiple magnets and button batteries. The mutual attraction of magnets through adjacent intestinal loops, compounded by the corrosive effects of button batteries, can precipitate rapid and irreversible damage to the gastrointestinal wall. A comprehensive review of the literature on documented pediatric cases involving the ingestion of magnets and button batteries was undertaken to compare the spectrum and frequency of complications.

Introduction And Importance: Foreign body ingestion is a significant clinical concern, particularly among elderly and psychiatric patients, often leading to complications such as intestinal obstruction. In this article, we present an intriguing case of dual intestinal and urinary obstruction caused by the ingestion of a dental bridge in a patient with Bricker urinary diversion. Through this rare case, we aim to explore the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges associated with such incidents, supported by a comprehensive review of the literature.

Cardiospondylocarpofacial syndrome (CSCFS) is an extremely rare autosomal dominant disorder resulting from variant in the gene, which encodes the transforming growth factor-β-activated kinase 1 (TAK1). Only 26 cases of CSCFS have been reported worldwide. The main manifestations are growth retardation, hypotonia, dysmorphic facial features, skeletal and limb abnormalities, cardiac septal defects with valve dysplasia, cardiomyopathy, and deafness with inner ear malformations.
