  • Umbilical Hernia with Cholelithiasis and Hiatal Hernia
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Springer - Publisher Connector Yamanaka et al. Surgical Case Reports (2015) 1:65 DOI 10.1186/s40792-015-0067-8 CASE REPORT Open Access Umbilical hernia with cholelithiasis and hiatal hernia: a clinical entity similar to Saint’striad Takahiro Yamanaka*, Tatsuya Miyazaki, Yuji Kumakura, Hiroaki Honjo, Keigo Hara, Takehiko Yokobori, Makoto Sakai, Makoto Sohda and Hiroyuki Kuwano Abstract We experienced two cases involving the simultaneous presence of cholelithiasis, hiatal hernia, and umbilical hernia. Both patients were female and overweight (body mass index of 25.0–29.9 kg/m2) and had a history of pregnancy and surgical treatment of cholelithiasis. Additionally, both patients had two of the three conditions of Saint’s triad. Based on analysis of the pathogenesis of these two cases, we consider that these four diseases (Saint’s triad and umbilical hernia) are associated with one another. Obesity is a common risk factor for both umbilical hernia and Saint’s triad. Female sex, older age, and a history of pregnancy are common risk factors for umbilical hernia and two of the three conditions of Saint’s triad. Thus, umbilical hernia may readily develop with Saint’s triad. Knowledge of this coincidence is important in the clinical setting. The concomitant occurrence of Saint’s triad and umbilical hernia may be another clinical “tetralogy.” Keywords: Saint’s triad; Cholelithiasis; Hiatal hernia; Umbilical hernia Background of our knowledge, no previous reports have described the Saint’s triad is characterized by the concomitant occur- coexistence of umbilical hernia with any of the three con- rence of cholelithiasis, hiatal hernia, and colonic diverticu- ditions of Saint’s triad.

This review aims to provide a clinical approach to the diagnosis of this complex group of patients by addressing key questions including the predominant neurological syndrome associated with the neuropathy e.g. spasticity, the type of neuropathy, and the other neurological and non- neurological features of the syndrome. Priority is given to the diagnosis of treatable conditions. Using this approach, we associated neuropathy with one of three major syndromic categories - 1) ataxia, 2) spasticity, and 3) global neurodevelopmental impairment. Syndromes that do not fall easily into one of these three categories can be grouped according to the predominant system involved in addition to the neuropathy e.g.

Case presentation: A 33-year-old primigravida came for routine antenatal ultrasonography at 28 weeks and 4 days of gestational age. On antenatal ultrasonography, dilated duodenum and stomach were seen giving a double bubble sign and a hyperechoic band surrounding the duodenum. Associated polyhydramnios was also present. Fetal MRI was also done. Postpartum ultrasonography demonstrated pancreatic tissue surrounding the duodenum. The upper gastrointestinal contrast study showed a non-passage of contrast beyond the second part of the duodenum. Due to symptoms of obstruction, the neonate was operated on, and the underlying cause was found to be the annular pancreas.

  • Massive Hiatal Hernia Involving Prolapse Of
    Tomida et al. Surgical Case Reports (2020) 6:11 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40792-020-0773-8 CASE REPORT Open Access Massive hiatal hernia involving prolapse of the entire stomach and pancreas resulting in pancreatitis and bile duct dilatation: a case report Hidenori Tomida* , Masahiro Hayashi and Shinichi Hashimoto Abstract Background: Hiatal hernia is defined by the permanent or intermittent prolapse of any abdominal structure into the chest through the diaphragmatic esophageal hiatus. Prolapse of the stomach, intestine, transverse colon, and spleen is relatively common, but herniation of the pancreas is a rare condition. We describe a case of acute pancreatitis and bile duct dilatation secondary to a massive hiatal hernia of pancreatic body and tail. Case presentation: An 86-year-old woman with hiatal hernia who complained of epigastric pain and vomiting was admitted to our hospital. Blood tests revealed a hyperamylasemia and abnormal liver function test. Computed tomography revealed prolapse of the massive hiatal hernia, containing the stomach and pancreatic body and tail, with peripancreatic fluid in the posterior mediastinal space as a sequel to pancreatitis. In addition, intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile ducts were seen to be dilated and deformed. After conservative treatment for pancreatitis, an elective operation was performed. There was a strong adhesion between the hernial sac and the right diaphragmatic crus. After the stomach and pancreas were pulled into the abdominal cavity, the hiatal orifice was closed by silk thread sutures (primary repair), and the mesh was fixed in front of the hernial orifice. Toupet fundoplication and intraoperative endoscopy were performed. The patient had an uneventful postoperative course post-procedure.

    Sphincter of Oddi: ERCP Plus Sphincterotomy – Yes or No Note: For debate purposes, the pro and con positions for patient management will be taken by the invited authors. However, actual decisions regarding patient care must involve discussion of the risks and benefits of each treatment considered. Case Presentation – Case developed by Ihab I. El Hajj, MD, MPH, Indiana University, Indianapolis, IN A 57-year-old Caucasian female with history of smoking and COPD, was in her usual state of health until two years ago, when she experienced recurrent “attacks” of right upper quadrant pain, nausea and occasional vomiting, suggestive of biliary colic. The patient was evaluated by her primary care physician and initial work- up, which included basic blood work, liver chemistries and transabdominal ultrasound, were negative. The patient responded partially to prn Zofran and omeprazole 40 mg once then twice daily. With the persistence of her symptoms, the patient was referred to a gastroenterologist. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) with gastric biopsies revealed chronic inactive gastritis without Helicobacter pylori. HIDA scan suggested biliary dyskinesia with an ejection fraction of 22%. An elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed. An intra- operative cholangiogram showed no filling defect in the common bile duct (CBD) and pathology demonstrated chronic cholecystitis with no gallstones. The patient was symptom-free for six months after surgery. She subsequently developed vague upper abdominal pain, intermittent nausea and irregular bowel movements. Labs, colonoscopy and repeat EGD were ASGE Leading Edge — Volume 4, No. 4 © American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy normal. The patient was treated for suspected irritable bowel syndrome.

  • Opinion of Trustees Resolution of Dispute Case No
    Opinion of Trustees Resolution of Dispute Case No. 88-122 Page 1 _____________________________________________________________________________ OPINION OF TRUSTEES _____________________________________________________________________________ In Re Complainant: Employee Respondent: Employer ROD Case No: 88-122 - October 3, 1989 Board of Trustees: Joseph P. Connors, Sr., Chairman; Paul R. Dean, Trustee; William Miller, Trustee; Donald E. Pierce, Jr., Trustee; Thomas H. Saggau, Trustee. Pursuant to Article IX of the United Mine Workers of America ("UMWA") 1950 Benefit Plan and Trust, and under the authority of an exemption granted by the United States Department of Labor, the Trustees have reviewed the facts and circumstances of this dispute concerning the provision of health benefits coverage for orthodontic treatment under the terms of the Employer Benefit Plan. Background Facts An oral surgeon states that the Employee's daughter began experiencing pain and popping in the right temporomandibular joint after being hit in the area of the right mandible during a fight in March 1985. She was treated by a physical therapist and had splint therapy to correct her temporomandibular joint problems for about six months. In August 1985, the Employee's daughter suffered a second injury to the right side of the head. She continued having pain and popping in the right temporomandibular joint, and surgery, an arthroplasty of the joint, was performed in December 1986. The Employer provided coverage for the physical therapy, the splint therapy and the surgery to correct her temporomandibular joint problems. In March 1988, an oral surgeon recommended orthodontic treatment to alleviate all of the Employee's daughter's symptoms. The Employee's daughter was examined by an orthodontist on May 10, 1988; he noted that she had reciprocal clicking in both temporomandibular joints, lack of proper chewing motion, limited mobility of the mandible, frequent headaches, and tenderness in the right jaw joint.
