Mullerian duct cyst (utricular cyst): treatment with the transvesical, transtrigonal approach

Goon HK, Tan KC, Sakijan AS

Aust N Z J Surg, 1987 Sep;57(9):683-6.

PMID: 3689258

The diagnosis of mullerian duct or utricular cyst should be considered in a child with urinary difficulties and a palpable midline, anterior rectal mass. Endoscopic cannulation of the cyst has been found to be the most useful diagnostic test. Infection should be treated with the appropriate antibiotics before definitive treatment. Surgical excision offers the best result. The transperitoneal and posterior parasacral approaches have been described but we favour the transvesical, transtrigonal approach which we find highly satisfactory. The risk of malignancy at a later age is an added indication for surgery.

Odontogenic keratocyst: a clinical experience in Singapore

Chow HT

Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol Oral Radiol Endod, 1998 Nov;86(5):573-7.

PMID: 9830650

The odontogenic keratocyst has been well documented and extensively studied. It is of particular interest because of its high recurrence rate and aggressive nature. The material for this study consisted of 70 cases of odontogenic keratocysts in predominantly ethnic Chinese patients who were treated from 1981 to 1996. The cases were retrospectively studied to compare characteristics of the lesion in this population with those in previous reports. Most of the patients in this series were 21 to 30 years of age. Association with an impacted mandibular third molar was found in more than 50% of the cases. The recurrence rate was 20% for 35 patients with a follow-up period of at least 5 years. The follow-up period for the whole series ranged from 1 to 16 years. Treatment was surgical enucleation with peripheral ostectomy. There were no significant differences in characteristics with respect to presentation and prognosis between this series and those described in previous publications.

Fulltext Carbon dioxide laser excision of a big epiglottic cyst

Baharudin A, Hazama M

Med J Malaysia, 2006 Dec;61(5):636-7.

PMID: 17623969 MyJurnal

Epiglottic cyst is usually asymptomatic and the commonest presentation is foreign body sensation in the throat. Treatment of epiglottic cysts depends on their size and on the clinical symptoms. Surgery is necessary for large ones. Various modalities of therapy include endoscopic excision, marsupialization and deroofing with or without a carbon dioxide laser. We report our experience of managing a case of a large epiglottic cyst with a carbon dioxide laser.

Fulltext Managing the solitary thyroid nodule

Meah FA, Qureshi MA

Med J Malaysia, 1998 Dec;53(4):453-6; quiz 457-8.

PMID: 10971996

Solitary thyroid nodules are commonly seen in surgical outpatient clinics. A detailed history and a careful physical examination are essential. In the management of the solitary thyroid nodule, fine needle aspiration cytology has become the cornerstone investigation. Ultrasound cannot differentiate between benign and malignant nodules, however is useful in the follow-up period to identify any further nodular growth. As thyroid malignancy occurs in both hot and cold nodules, radionuclide scans are not useful in the management of solitary thyroid nodules. We have attempted to outline the process of managing the solitary thyroid nodule and discuss the options available.

Hepatic resections 1964-1979: vignettes drawn from the Malaysian experience

Balasegaram M, Joishy SK

Jpn J Surg, 1980 Jun;10(2):94-9.

PMID: 6253701

We present a study of 288 hepatic resections carried out in Malaysia for the past fifteen years. First, we describe our indications for hepatic resectins which are not limited to hepatic trauma and hepatomas, but also include hepatic abscesses, cysts, intrahepatic calculi and hemangiomas. Second, we give a simplified classification of hepatic resections using accurate terminology. Third, we describe the safety of hepatic resections in our hands which we believe is due to specially designed surgical instruments and the accurate decision making process at surgery. We have had minimum postoperative mortality and no intraoperative deaths so far. Finally, while analysing each indication we have drawn vignettes from our experience for the past fifteen years.

Duplication cyst with midgut volvulus in a neonate: an unusual presentation

Pai NG, Prabhu S, Prabhakar P, Kumar V

BMJ Case Rep, 2020 Aug 26;13(8).

PMID: 32847882 DOI: 10.1136/bcr-2020-235526

Incomplete intestinal fixation or malrotation of gut with midgut volvulus is one of the important causes of bilious vomiting in neonates. The incidence of malrotation of gut in population is 4% and that of duplication cyst is 1:4500. Patients with malrotation are prone to develop midgut volvulus due to their narrow mesenteric base demanding urgent surgical intervention. Common associated anomalies are intrinsic duodenal obstruction, internal hernias, caecal volvulus, anorectal malformations and Hirschsprung's disease. The present case refers to a 4-day-old neonate who presented with malrotation of gut with reverse volvulus and an associated gastrointestinal duplication cyst, which is a rare association with only few reported case reports. After imaging with ultrasound and contrast radiograph, the baby underwent prompt surgical intervention in the form of Ladd's procedure with resection and anastomosis of jejunal duplication cyst.

A Challenge in Diagnosis and Management: Uterine Torsion in Childhood

Thever Ramasamy V, Sivapatham L, Grover SR, Shanmugam SS, Ganesalingam M

J Pediatr Adolesc Gynecol, 2021 Feb;34(1):61-64.

PMID: 33010465 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpag.2020.09.003

BACKGROUND: Uterine torsion is a rare event, which mostly reported in females with a gravid uterus and is exceptionally rare in children.

CASE: A 9-year-old girl presented with 3 days of intermittent lower abdominal pain. Ultrasound revealed an ovarian mass, but laparotomy revealed an ischemic enlarged ovary and uterus rotated 180°. No reperfusion occurred after 60 minutes. A subtotal hysterectomy and right salpingoophorectomy were thus performed.

CONCLUSION: Uterine and adnexal torsion presents with symptoms similar to those of adnexal torsion. Delays in diagnosis and referral continue to be an issue, resulting in suboptimal outcomes. Uterine torsion, although exceedingly rare in childhood, appears to occur only in the setting of ovarian masses, which provide the impetus for the rotational force to the elongated cervix of the prepubertal uterus.

Hepatic resection. Pillars of success built on the foundation of 15 years of experience

Balasegaram M, Joishy SK

Am J Surg, 1981 Mar;141(3):360-5.

PMID: 6259961

Two hundred eight-eight hepatic resections performed over the past 15 years are discussed. The safety and success achieved are attributed to the original work in Malaysia on the anatomy of the liver and its anomalies, the use of surgical instruments specially designed for hepatic resection, various types of resections devised and studies on aids to liver regeneration after resection. The diversity of the principles and practice of surgery in the Western countries compared with those in Malaysia is illustrated.

Gastric duplication cyst (GDC) is a rare congenital malformation of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Despite being benign in the entity, its complications vary from an asymptomatic abdominal mass to fulminant or massive GI bleeding. A 28-year-old lady presented with unexplained GI haemorrhage, in which the upper endoscopy showed a classic feature of GI stromal tumour. The preoperative diagnosis was also confirmed by the computed tomography. She subsequently underwent surgical resection and the final histopathology was consistent with a benign entity of GDC.

PMID: 15941169

We report a case of delayed diagnosis of tarsal tunnel syndrome caused by a ganglion arising from the talo-calcaneal joint. Unusually the symptoms were mainly due to the lateral planter nerve compression with a positive Tinel's sign. A surgical decompression was successful in relieving the dysaesthesia in spite of a 7 years history.

PMID: 9639621

Rectal duplications are rare anomalies. Recently, we observed four cases of rectal duplication, each presenting with different clinical features including chronic constipation, a prolapsing rectal "polyp, " a "growth" from the vulva, and acute retention of urine. The variety of clinical presentations may lead to delay in diagnosis and multiple operations.

Endoscopic neurosurgery: report of the first five cases done in Malaysia using the Caemaert-Abdullah method

Farouk A, Abdullah J

Minim Invasive Neurosurg, 1998 Jun;41(2):74-8.

PMID: 9651914

The first endoscopic procedure done in Malaysia using the Caemaert-Abdullah method is reported and the followup results showed an excellent neurosurgical outcome. A 16-year-old girl with an aqueduct stenosis was operated on using a free-hand, computer-assisted endoscopic method where a third ventriculostomy was done. This was the first case being carried out in the Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia. The next two cases were a suprasellar pituitary cyst in an elderly man and a child with an obstructive hydrocephalus who was previously shunted which became infected. Both endoscopic procedures, extirpation of the cyst using a Nd:Yag laser and a third ventriculostomy, respectively, were done under general anaesthesia in the supine position. Follow-up revealed a transient diabetes insipidus in all three cases up to 48 hours after the operation which resolved spontaneously. The fourth case involved an endoscopic removal of retained ventricular catheter after rectal migration of a shunt in an eight-year-old girl with congenital hydrocephalus. The fifth was a free-hand endoscopy with perforation of multiple brain septae in a ten-month-old baby with hydrocephalus secondary to meningitis. The final outcomes for all the cases were favourable hence we conclude that endoscopic neurosurgery is a safe procedure and hope that more neurosurgeons will continue to use this method, especially for the management of intraventricular cyst and hydrocephalus and especially in South East Asia.

PMID: 15271703

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia is an inherited disease causing fatty replacement of heart tissue. This disease often presents as T-wave inversion in the anterior leads of the electrocardiogram (ECG) with life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias. In older patients, progressive right and left ventricular failure can develop. This is a case report of postoperative death occurring in a 59-yr-old woman with undiagnosed arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia after hepatic cystectomy. The patient had T-wave inversion in the inferior ECG leads and no history of arrhythmias. During general anesthesia, cardiovascular collapse occurred in the absence of arrhythmias that was unresponsive to resuscitation.
