ABSTRACT
Congenital ectopic bilateral parotid glands are extremely rare, to date only two cases have been reported in the literature. Our patient, a 5-day-old male, presented with bilateral palpable cheek swelling. On imaging, the absence of bilateral parotid glands in parotid space and their ectopic location, anterior to the masseter muscle, was seen. Our case emphasizes ectopic parotids as an important differential among conditions presenting with bilateral cheek swelling in children. We have also compared the findings of previously described cases and their management with our case.
ABSTRACT
We present the echocardiography images in a 6 year old girl who presented with a history of scalp swelling after trivial trauma which was subsequently diagnosed as metastases from primary intracardiac germ cell tumour.

A thirty-eight-year-old uncontrolled diabetic with a recent COVID-19 infection presented with extensive bowel ischemia and gangrene with a microscopic diagnosis of intestinal and mesenteric mucormycosis. Although there are a few reported cases of primary gastrointestinal mucormycosis, our case showing involvement of the intestine and/or mesentery, that too in a post-COVID patient, is quite uncommon. The immunosuppressive effect of the COVID-19 disease, uncontrolled diabetes, and the use of corticosteroids for the treatment of severe COVID are the most probable reasons for the emergence of severe opportunistic infections, both as a coinfection and as a sequalae to COVID.

This report describes the radiological and endoscopic findings in a 54-year-old male who presented with epigastric pain. The patient underwent an upper gastrointestinal (GI) barium study followed by axial imaging, which demonstrated nodular gastric wall thickening. The classic findings of aggressive primary gastric diffuse large B-Cell lymphoma are presented with a brief review differentiating the pathological subtypes, important for patient prognostication and planning of therapy.
ABSTRACT
We present the cardiac CT images of 5-month infant with aorto-pulmonary window along with anomalous left coronary artery from pulmonary artery along with endoluminal views which help the surgeons in pre-planning of baffle orientation.

The most common cause of congenital torticollis is sternocleidomastoid contracture. Torticollis due to a unilateral absence of sternocleidomastoid is very rare. Association of an ipsilateral absence of sternocleidomastoid and trapezius with cerebellar hypoplasia is even rarer. We describe a combination of these rarities in an 11-year-old patient with congenital torticollis.
ABSTRACT
Feeding jejunostomy (FJ) is a common surgical procedure for patients presenting with absolute dysphagia. Jejunostomy tube-induced intussusception is an extremely rare complication associated with it and its recognition and proper management are necessary to prevent subsequent bowel ischemia of the intussusception. We present a rare case with simultaneous intussusception at two sites in a patient who underwent FJ with Foley's catheter one month back and subsequently managed by surgical reduction and repositioning of the FJ tube.
ABSTRACT
Hutch diverticulum is a congenital diverticulum of the urinary bladder, reported infrequently in children and rare amongst adults. We present a 60-year-old male patient with bilateral Hutch diverticula, detected incidentally during an abdominal ultrasound examination performed for blunt abdominal trauma. This rare case highlights an unusual incidental presentation and opportunity to learn how to differentiate it from acquired bladder diverticula. The available treatment options are also discussed varying from simple follow-up to aggressive surgery.
