Abstract Aim of the study: To evaluate the use of staged vs. one-stage surgical management for Hirschsprung's disease (HSD) in older children. Methods: In total, 30 patients were diagnosed with HSD and all cases were confirmed by rectal biopsy. For treatment, rectal irrigation was carried out for two months to achieve colonic decompression; treatment failure occurred in 15 cases due to decompressed colons.

Preduodenal portal vein (PDPV) was first described by Knight in 1921 [1]. It is a rare anomaly, with only around 100 cases reported across different age groups; 29 cases have been documented in adults [2, 3, 8]. PDPV is characterized by anterior positioning of the portal vein relative to the duodenum, due to abnormal embryologic development—specifically, persistence of the ventral anastomosis of the vitelline veins and regression of the dorsal one.

Abstract To present a case series of four pediatric patients with PDPV, each with a different clinical presentation and surgical management. We retrospectively reviewed four cases of PDPV managed at our institution. Two cases were associated with extrahepatic biliary atresia (EHBA) and discovered incidentally during surgery. The other two cases presented with duodenal obstruction but had differing etiologies and management approaches.
