A rare case report of a Servelle-Martorell syndrome patient.

INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE: Servelle-Martorell syndrome (SMS) is a rare congenital anomaly that is frequently mistaken for Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome (KTS) or Parkes-Weber syndrome (PWS). SMS usually involves venous dilatations, soft tissue hypertrophy, and bone hypotrophy, while KTS and PWS usually have bone hypertrophy. The management of SMS is primarily conservative, and surgery should be done selectively. This study aimed to report a case of SMS and its management to relieve a painful aneurysm on the right knee by excision. CASE PRESENTATION: A 16-year-old male patient presented with a slightly shorter right lower limb and multiple bluish swelling on his right lower limb. Supporting venography and angiography showed venous malformations, soft tissue hypertrophy, and bone hypotrophy on the right lower limb. The physical and supporting examinations led to the diagnosis of SMS. The patient was admitted because of severe pain in the right knee. Surgical excision of the venous malformation in the knee region was done to relieve the pain. The patient felt significantly reduced pain on one-month follow-up. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: SMS has similar features to KTS and PWS. The excision surgery was indicated due to severe pain in the right knee. CONCLUSION: SMS is a rare disease and important to be recognized as it is frequently mistaken as KTS or PWS. The management is primarily conservative and surgical management should only be done in severe aneurysmal complications and shunting. As venous malformations and pain can reoccur after surgical excision, regular follow-ups should be maintained.

Continent ileocaecocystoplasty bladder augmentation following a failed appendicovesicostomy on pediatric bladder neck stricture due to pelvic fracture urethral injury: A case report.

Pelvic fracture urethral injury (PFUI) in pediatrics is rare, may involve the bladder neck, and may lead to obstruction and urinary incontinence as a lifelong disability. A 9-year-old female patient had a bladder neck injury related to PFUI after an accident when she was 6 years old and had urinary incontinence. In the previous hospital, the patient underwent appendicovesicostomy but the surgery failed. Continent ileocaecocystoplasty for a definitive treatment was done in our hospital involving the caecum, ileocaecal valve, and ileum. This procedure was delivered safely and brought a good result to the patient with no significant complications.
