TL;DR: The complications following a less preferred but often practised surgical option—a temporizing window colostomy in three babies are described.
Abstract: Congenital pouch colon, a variant of anorectal malformation, is a rare anomaly with a high incidence in North India and although the anatomy and diagnostic features have been well described, the surgical treatment continues to be challenging. This report describes the complications following a less preferred but often practised surgical option—a temporizing window colostomy in three babies. A window colostomy predisposes to prolapse of the entire pouch colon with herniation of bowel loops, intestinal obstruction and failure to thrive. Depending on the state of the child, either a proximal diverting stoma or tubularization of the pouch with a terminal stoma is recommended as the procedure of choice for the initial surgical management of this complex and rare malformation.

TL;DR: Primary repair was accomplished successfully without causing mediastinal compression in the case of a 45-days-old female child, who presented with a defect in the chest and upper abdomen and visible cardiac pulsations and bulge during crying.
Abstract: Thoraco-abdominal ectopia cordis is an unusual congenital anomaly. The case of a 45-days-old female child, who presented with a defect in the chest and upper abdomen and visible cardiac pulsations and bulge during crying, is being reported. There was an inferior sternal cleft with divarication of the recti up to the umbilicus. The cleft was covered with a thin translucent membrane. Primary repair was accomplished successfully without causing mediastinal compression.
