Often appearing as firm, painless, subcutaneous lumps, they are commonly found on the head and neck, especially near the eyes (orbital/periocular), between the eyebrows ( Nasion)
Although present at birth, many are diagnosed within the first five years as they are slow growing innocuous swelling .Treatment is usually complete surgical excision after evaluation with the expert to remove the entire capsule, on planned basis as there is risk of infection and scarring.

PELVIURETERIC JUNCTION OBSTRUCTION ( PUJO)
Index case
2.5 months baby with antenatally diagnosed Hydronephrosis on fetal scan which was progressive on review ultrasound and showed deterioration of renal function on renal scan.
After work up Pyeloplasty( Anderson Hynes ) was planned to correct the obstruction to the p6of urine from kidney.

This is a common urological birth defect in babies where the junction of kidney with ureter ( urine pipe) is narrowed or twisted which causes obstruction to the passage of urine.

This phenomenon occurs when the baby is in mother's womb.
Can be picked up in antenatal Ultrasound as Fetal Hydronephrosis.

Many a times it resolves on its own which needs a diligent follow up with pediatric surgeon and pediatric Urologist.
The progressive obstruction causes pressure on kidneys which can lead to damage to the kidney if not corrected by surgical intervention timely.
Timely surgery saves the kidney and the results of surgical reconstruction ( PYELOPLASTY) is very satisfactory.
Delay and Ignorance can lead to irreversible renal damage and loss of kidney.
Consult your pediatric surgeon as soon Hydronephrosis is picked on fetal ultrasound for optimum management.

# ANORECTAL MALFORMATION

Diagnosis in medical science is about taking the CLUES… joining the DOTS.
Index case
1. Consultation made for Fetal scan showing gross Hydronephrosis with dilated ureter.Parents were driven with the perception of “bacche ki kidney me soojan hai iske liye Pediatric surgeon se milo” All thanks for the faith for the tender yet unborn life.

During antenatal counselling what caught my attention was : ABSENT PIECES OF LAST SACRAL BONES

FOR A PEDIATRIC SURGEON THE FIRST ASSOCIATION COMES TO MIND IS Anorectal malformation ( VACTERAL Association)

Counselled the parents that apart from renal problem the child may have possibility to be born with absent a**l opening which may need immediate attention.

IMPACT OF ANTENATAL COUNSELLING
I didn’t hear from the parents after I did my counselling job

SURPRISE
After 2 months early morning I got a call from our Pediatric resident a baby delivered with absent a**l opening … what do we do next??

NEXT
As soon as i saw the baby in NICU , a female child born with absent a**l opening, partial sacral agenesis, vaginal agenesis. Asked for antenatal scan and was preparing myself to convey rightly the complex cascade to the parents and approach to management.
Asked for the parents to see me in the OPD

All of a sudden Everything was so light .💡 ✨

Seeing the acquainted face… Have me met earlier???
Parents with all smile said yes Ma’am… you told us the possibility. Ab kya karna hai.🙏☘️

The intricate treatment is one part which is our professional domain and we acquire the skill and decision making during our rigorous training

But the highlight is what are we supposed to do to bring the impact on society, how can we challenge the faith and old age practices and the fear of babies being born with birth defect and let fate choose the course.

2. Female Anorectal malformation doesn’t required any immediate intervention as they have natural fistulous opening to decompress stool.
Optimal counselling given and
after evaluation the baby was discharged and followed.
3. 3 months a ureterostomy was done for obstructive progressive Megaureter as it was compromising the left renal function.
4. ⁠5 months a complete single stage Anorectal pull through ASARP( ANTERIOR SAGGITAL ANORECTOPLASTY) was done with a beautiful cosmesis which you can imbibe from the surgical pics and the baby passing stool absolutely well from the NEOANUS Created.
5. ⁠The Hydronephrosis is settled and so the pressure on kidney.. A definitely surgery demands URETERIC REIMPLANTATION to be done 2-3 years of age as the bladder capacity grows.
6. ⁠
Take HOME 🏠 MESSAGE

1.Right complete diagnosis with right approach to optimal timing of intervention.
2. Emphasis on follow up for right decision making.
3. ⁠Prognostication and Possibilities of the complex birth anomalies

True this case gave me the true learning to be thankful for and pursue the path i have chosen.
Touching each life in the most tenderness and holding on as the light guides.
