She had undergone operative fundoplication several years earlier and was referred to our institute for treatment of intestinal obstruction. A severely dilated colon was detected on abdominal roentgenogram, and abdominal CT and colonic enema strongly suggested cecal volvulus. Emergency operation was performed and cecal volvulus with mobile cecum was ascertained;the volvulus was corrected and the mobile cecum was fixed to the peritoneum on the right side. Neurologically handicapped patients sometimes suffer from cecal volvulus, and patients with Cornelia de Lange syndrome are at especially high risk. Moreover, operative fundoplication promotes intestinal dilatation and it may be another risk factor for cecal volvulus.展开更多

We report a 9-year-old male with median raphe cysts in the perineum which had become swollen and then spontaneously ruptured several times since he was 3 years old. There were two separate lesions;one was a cystic lesion and the other was a canal-like lesion. They were completely excised and the inner layer of the cysts was composed of transitional epithelium.展开更多
