  ABSTRACT: Appendiceal intussusception is a rare entity that primarily affects children. The optimal surgical management is not known. We describe a child with appendiceal intussusception treated by simple appendectomy who suffered recurrent intussusception of the cecum at the base of the appendiceal stump. He was cured by resection of a rim of cecum around the appendiceal staple line. Partial cecectomy with appendectomy may be the most effective operation for appendiceal intussusception.

  ABSTRACT: We report three cases of unusual skin covered abdominal wall defects not accurately diagnosed by prenatal sonography. An associated omphalocele was recognized in two but misinterpreted as a giant omphalocele in one. Suspicious sonographic features--an enlarged abdominal circumference, irregular laxity of the abdominal--may be clarified by MRI.
