The case of a 3-year-old child with acute abdomen due to the perforation of a Meckel’s diverticulum is presented. At the first surgical exploration the diagnosis was misunderstood because of the anomalous positioning in the mesenteric side of the diverticulum.

The diagnosis of cerebral abscess was eventually made in a 9-year-old boy presenting with headache and fever, who was initially diagnosed with sinusitis. Some typical signs of intracranial hypertension were present.

The Author describes the case of a 5-year-old boy with recurrent bone fractures without blue sclera eventually diagnosed as osteogenesis imperfecta due to a mutation in BMP1 gene.
