The incidence of hydatid disease reported in children below ten years of age was 11.7%. In this paper the experience of treating 56 children with hydatid disease is described. The presenting features, complications, surgical techniques and results are reported and discussed.

Gastric heterotopia in rectum complicated by rectovesical fistula.

Heterotopic gastric mucosa in the rectum produced a rare complication of rectovesical fistula. Diagnosis was made by direct biopsy and 99mTc scanning. Excision of ectopic gastric mucosa, diverting colostomy, and repair did not result in closure of the fistula. Endorectal pull-through constituted definitive treatment.
