Article Abstract
Congenital midline cervical cleft is a rare and generally isolated malformation of the ventral neck region with no clear etiology established. Mandibular deformities, such as micrognathia, could be considered as a consequence of a cleft cervical contracture. Complete surgical excision of the subcutaneous fibrous cord at an early age is the primary treatment modality, minimizing growth development problems on surrounding affected tissue. The aim of this study is to describe the clinical, surgical, and histological findings in a female child with congenital midline cervical cleft along with a relevant literature review. Three years follow-up after surgery exhibited satisfactory functional and cosmetic results.

Inguinal herniation of the urinary bladder through the inguinal rings of domestic rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) has been well-described in veterinary literature due to the inguinal rings remaining open throughout the lifespan of adult males. Midline body wall herniation has also been described in several veterinary species due to a variety of etiologies, including trauma, incisional dehiscence, and congenital anomalies. This phenomenon has not previously been described in rabbits.

Objectives: The majority of congenital hypopituitarism (CH) cases remain genetically unexplained. The transmembrane receptor Roundabout-1 (), activated through interaction with SLIT-family proteins, plays crucial role in axonal guidance, branching, targeting, and midline axonal crossing. variants have been associated with pituitary stalk interruption syndrome and highly variable pituitary-phenotypes, ranging from isolated growth hormone deficiency (IGHD) to combined pituitary hormone deficiency (CPHD).

Introduction & Importance: Bladder exstrophy epispadias complex (BEEC) is a rare congenital midline malformation defect which requires complex, staged reconstruction of the bony pelvis and the genitourinary tract.
Presentation Of Case: A 26-year-old G3SA2 with previously reconstructed bladder exstrophy presented at 16 weeks +5 days gestation with severe bilateral hydronephrosis and inability to self-catheterize her Mitrofanoff diversion. She had bilateral nephrostomy tubes placed for the duration of pregnancy.

Chiari I malformation (CIM) and idiopathic growth hormone deficiency (GHD) are distinct, yet occasionally coexisting conditions in pediatric patients. The underlying pathophysiological link between the two entities remains controversial. In this case series, we present five pediatric patients with concurrent CIM and idiopathic GHD, detailing their clinical presentations, diagnostic workups, and responses to recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) therapy.

This case is that of a two-day-old male patient born full term with no pertinent history who presented with excess nasal secretions, feeding difficulty, respiratory distress, and hypoxemia requiring intubation. He was found to have an obstructive, polypoid mass in the nasopharynx on fiberoptic flexible laryngoscopy. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain and neck revealed an ovoid, circumscribed, peripherally enhancing mass in the posterior nasopharynx and oral cavity measuring 2.
