A new variant of esophageal atresia with tracheoesophageal fistula and duodenal atresia: A diagnostic dilemma
(Springer Verlag, 1997) C.K. Sinha; A.N. Gangopadhyay; S.P. Sahoo; S. Chooramani Gopal; D.K. Gupta; S.P. Sharma
A new variant of esophageal atresia (EA) with tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) associated with duodenal atresia is reported. The TEF was between the lower pouch and the trachea, with a cystic dilatation in the midportion. The tracheal end of the fistula was obstructed by a membranous septum at both ends of a cystic dilatation, leading to a diagnosis of pure EA (gasless abdomen). After the lower pouch was opened beyond the cystic dilatation, 100 ml nonbilious fluid was obtained. A laparotomy revealed a type III atresia of the first part of the duodenum.
A rare association of diphallus, colonic duplications, ileal atresia, and an anorectal malformation
(1996) S.P. Sharma; A.N. Gangopadhyay; D.K. Gupta; S. Chooramani Gopal; R.N. Dash; C.K. Sinha
Diphallus is a rare congenital anomaly that is often associated with various other anomalies of the midline structures of the posterior portion of the body. We report a unique case of a 1-day-old male with complete diphallus, incomplete bilateral tubular duplications of the colon, ileal atresia, and an anorectal malformation.
Carcinoma of the rectum in children
(1996) S.P. Sahoo; A.N. Gangopadhyay; D.K. Gupta; S.C. Gopal; C.K. Sinha; S. Gupta; M. Kumar
Two cases of carcinoma of the rectum in children (10 and 11 years old) are presented. Both cases presented as acute intestinal obstruction with the history of bleeding per rectum, constipation, abdominal distention, and loss of weight and appetite. Carcinoma of the colon and rectum in children is rare. Its clinical, pathologic, and biological characteristics are different than those of adults. The prognosis is poorer in children, the reason for which is explained, and its management is briefly discussed.
Combined rectal atresia and rectal stenosis
(Springer Verlag, 1997) A.N. Gangopadhyay; C.K. Sinha; S.P. Sahoo
A unique case of combined rectal atresia and rectal stenosis with a normal anal canal is reported. To our knowledge, no similar case has been reported to date.
Hydatid disease in children may have an atypical presentation
(2000) A.N. Gangopadhyay; P. Sakti; S. Sahoo; P. Sharma; D.K. Gupta; C.K. Sinha; S.N. Rai
Although there is voluminous literature describing various aspects of hydatid disease in children, little attention has been paid to the small group of patients whose symptoms result in atypical presentation. This article addresses this problem, describing the features in ten children aged from 2 to 12 years. The sites of involvement were within a choledochal cyst (1). the pelvic cavity (1), the spleen (1), and transverse mesocolon. Albendazole was efficacious in the treatment of one recurrent case, as well as in preventing recurrence. © Springer-Verlag 2000.
Role of steroid in childhood haemangioma: A 10 years review
(1997) A.N. Gangopadhyay; C.K. Sinha; S.C. Gopal; D.K. Gupta; S.P. Sahoo; M. Ahmad
1195 cases of various type of haemangioma were treated with various steroid modalities. The response to intralesional steroids was excellent in strawberry and mixed haemangiomas. The response to oral steroids was also good in these two types. The response of cavernous variety was poor with either modality used alone but with combined modality, a moderate response can be obtained.
