Gastrointestinal duplications are a common type of congenital anomaly usually restricted to one part of the gut. Triplication of colon is a rare variation of duplication of the hindgut. Hindgut duplications are commonly associated with anomalies of other derivatives of the cloaca, namely, the lower genitourinary system. Here, we describe a child with triplication of colon with associated duplication of bladder and urethra and diphallus. The child described here is the only reported survivor with triplication.
Enteric duplication cysts are hollow, epithelium-lined, cystic, or tubular structures that are intimately attached to a portion of the gastrointestinal tract. Completely isolated duplication cysts are an extremely rare variety of gastrointestinal duplications with their own exclusive blood supply. Only two such previous cases have been reported in the literature so far. We report a third case of completely isolated, giant duplication cyst with a vascular pedicle in a four-day-old neonate with a review of the literature.
We describe a neonate having congenital pyloric atresia (CPA) associated with epidermolysis bullosa (EB), also known as Carmi syndrome. The case is unusual as it was complicated with pharyngo-esophageal perforation (PEP) and a definite family history of EB in pervious generations could be recorded.

Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia is a common problem in newborn nurseries and manifest clinically as jaundice. Nearly 25-50% of all newborns and a much higher percentage of premature babies develop hyperbilirubinemia. This is mostly physiological, but a small percentage of these babies have pathological jaundice, requiring detailed investigations and management. It is also absolutely essential to consider a possibility of extra-hepatic biliary atresia early, during management of a case of neonatal direct hyperbilirubinemia as early surgical intervention results in a better outcome in EHBA. This article aims to describe the diagnostic approach to neonatal hyperbilirubinemia with special emphasis on conditions requiring surgical intervention also it throws light on present status of EHBA in Indian circumstances.

We report a case of a male newborn with asymmetrical epispadic diphallia and congenital urethral fistula, and exomphalos minor. A segment of bowel was attached in the region of the pubis; with no communication to the underlying bowel. This was excised; histological examination revealed this to be a colonic remnant. The excision of the examphalos minor and approximation of the pubis and the rectus sheath over the bladder was also done; urethroplasty is planned at a later date. A comprehensive review of the available literature revealed only eight such cases before this; the possible embryology is discussed.

Two girls presenting with features of pancreatitis were diagnosed to have minimal dilatation of extra hepatic biliary duct (EHBD) associated with pancreatico-biliary maljunction (PBMJ). A high degree of suspicion is required to diagnose this condition that has been termed Forme fruste choledochal cyst (FFCC). Both did well with pancreatico-biliary disconnection procedure and reconstruction of biliary channel using enteric conduit.
