Jejunal diverticula (JD) are a rare medical entity. They are often unnoticed, until complications occur. We report herein three cases of such diverticula, analyzed retrospectively, and depicting some of these complications: small bowel obstruction due to enterolith in a giant diverticulum treated surgically, incidental intraoperative finding on an anastomotic jejunal limb affecting the surgical plan and diverticulitis with anemia. In all three cases, the diagnosis of JD was unexpected, which illustrates the importance of being familiar with this disease for adequate management.
Renal Echinococcosis is a rare medical entity (2–4%). The preoperative clinical, biological and radiological diagnosis is quite challenging. We report herein the case of a 63 year-old female patient, operated for a suspicious renal cystic mass that resulted full of grape-like cysts intraoperatively.
A case report of a 64-year-old man who presented with upper gastrointestinal bleeding due to Choledocholithiasis eroding to the duodenum, diagnosed with gastroscopy and a CT scan. The patient was managed by Choledocho-Jejunal anastomosis, after extraction of a giant common bile duct stone measuring 11.9 × 5.0 × 4.0 centimeters.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
