The late diagnosis is attributed to the fact that most of them are present with the same symptoms as in an uncomplicated acute cholecystitis. Most of them are identified and confirmed by laparotomy as preoperative diagnosis is very rare,that is, on computed tomography scan and ultrasound. We are reporting two cases of gall bladder perforation. Case report The first case was a 70-year-old man who was presented to the emergency department with complaints of pain in the abdomen for 7 days and obstipation for 3 days. The second case was a 58-year-old man who was presented to the emergency department with complaints of pain in the abdomen for 1 week and obstipation for 2 days. Conclusion Gall bladder perforation is a fatal and life threatening complication of acute cholecystitis so early diagnosis is the key, as delay will result in the increase of mortality and morbidity.","PeriodicalId":19393,"journal":{"name":"OA Case Reports","volume":"89 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79470793","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These diverticula are infrequently diagnosed during the foetal period, and because of their rarity, their natural history remains unclear. We present a case of a prenatal diagnosis of right ventricular diverticulum at 26 weeks gestation associated with an irregular rhythm of ventricular bigeminy. Case report We present a case of a 32-yearold G1P1, who was referred at 26 weeks gestation on account of an abnormal rhythm and four-chamber view on a routine screening. Foetal echocardiography showed a large right ventricular outpouching (RVO) of 11 × 9 mm, with unrestricted flow, across a large orifice and situated along the lateral free wall, just beneath the tricuspid valve. Conclusion Foetal RVO are rare congenital malformations that need to be considered, when an extra chamber is visualised in the routine four-chamber view, in the assessment of foetal arrhythmia or presence of a pericardial effusion.","PeriodicalId":19393,"journal":{"name":"OA Case Reports","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90995302","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Because these variations are usually associated with unusual femoral nerve formation, here we report a case of variation in the iliacus muscle combined with variation in the femoral nerve. Case report Variation in the iliacus muscle combined with variation in the femoral nerve was observed while performing a routine dissection of a 65-year-old male cadaver in the Department of Anatomy, SRM Medical College. The accessory iliacus muscle originated from iliac crest and inserted to the lesser trochanter of femur along with psoas major. This muscle variant was found to split the femoral nerve into medial and lateral slips. Conclusion The existence of this muscle variation along with nerve variation may increase the chances of nerve compression. Hence, detailed knowledge of these variations has immense importance in various pelvic and pelvifemoral surgeries.","PeriodicalId":19393,"journal":{"name":"OA Case Reports","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75219529","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The stomach and small intestine are the favoured sites for these tumours. Pre-operative diagnosis is difficult on clinical basis for such tumours and only a detailed histopathological examination of specimen reveals its true nature. The aim of this research study was to examine abdominal gastrointestinal stromal tumour in a general surgery ward. Materials and methods A retrospective case review study of patients, who had a diagnosis of the abdominal gastrointestinal stromal tumour, was performed. Clinical presentation, operative findings and a follow-up was recorded for these patients. Recurrence and development of a new tumour was recorded during the follow-up. Results Twelve patients, who had an abdominal gastrointestinal stromal tumour, were examined. There were nine male patients and three female patients. Eight patients were diagnosed with an abdominal mass, one patient had peritonitis, one patient had an upper gastrointestinal bleeding, one patient had rectal bleeding and one patient was diagnosed with an intestinal obstruction. All the patients had exploratory laparotomy and postoperative imatinib was given to them. Conclusion Gastrointestinal stromal tumour in the abdomen is a rare cancer. These tumours have variable clinical behaviour, with abdominal mass being the common symptom.
