    Abstract Hereditary haemoglobinopathies are common disorders in Oman. The most common haematological disorder among Omani population is sickle cell disease (SCD). The spleen is one of the organs that is affected early in the first decade of life in SCD patients. Splenectomy has shown a high success rate in improving the quality of life in SCD patients, through eliminating acute splenic sequestration crises, thus reducing the need for hospital admission and transfusion requirements. One of the rare complications of splenectomy is porto-splenic vein thrombosis. Multiple factors are responsible for this complication including: thermal and mechanical injury during ligation of splenic hilum, sudden increase in the platelet count and large spleen size. We report a rare case of extensive porto-splenic vein thrombosis that responded to early initiation of anticoagulation with resolution of the thrombosis and recanalisation.

    Abstract Teratomas are neoplasms that commonly arise from the gonads. It is rare that they originate in the kidney. Immature intrarenal teratomas are exceptionally rare. To our knowledge, the current case will be the fifth immature intrarenal teratoma reported in the literature, in addition to being the first such case reported in a neonate.

    Abstract Pheochromocytoma are chromaffin cell-derived tumors that have an exceptionally high genetic predisposition. The presentation of extra-adrenal and pelvic paraganglioma (PGL) in children is uncommon. Due to the relative rarity, PGL tumors' presentation and disease behavior may vary. Genetic testing, imaging, and biochemical investigation are employed to diagnose PGL. Surgical resection with preoperative angioembolization has been practiced in alleviating the burden of torrential intraoperative bleeding.

    Abstract Bronchus suis or tracheal bronchus is an accessory bronchus arising from the trachea above the carina. Double aortic arch is a congenital vascular anomaly with persistence of both left and right aortic arches beyond fetal life which can form a vascular ring compressing the major airways and may be symptomatic. We report the case of a 16-month-old girl who had recurrent episodes of respiratory distress requiring multiple hospitalisations and was diagnosed at the Sultan Qaboos University Hospital, Muscat, Oman in 2019 with a double aortic arch compressing upon a tracheal bronchus causing symptomatic emphysema of the right upper lobe. This report presents anaesthetic and airway challenges during the patient's lobectomy. A single lumen cuffed endotracheal tube was successfully used as a bronchial blocker to occlude the origin of the aberrant bronchus. The position of the tube was confirmed intraoperatively using fibreoptic bronchoscopy. Following her discharge, she continued to have recurrent episodes of respiratory distress and three months after her last appointment she succumbed to her illness. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first such reported case in Oman.

    Abstract Background: Dengue fever is an infectious disease of global health concern. This study aimed to describe the epidemiology and field experience of a locally transmitted outbreak of dengue fever in Muscat Governorate, Oman from mid-March to mid-April 2022, and the multi-sectoral approach to control the outbreak.
    Methods: Data were collected from an electronic e-notification system, active surveillance and contact investigations.
    Results: Of 250 suspected and probable cases, 169 were confirmed as dengue fever with DENV-2 serotype. Of these, 108 (63.9%) were male and 94 (55.6%) were Omani. The mean age was 39 years (standard deviation 13 years). Fever was the most common symptom and occurred in 100% of cases. Haemorrhagic manifestations occurred in 10% (
    Conclusion: Outbreaks are expected to continue, with the possibility of severe cases due to antibody-dependent enhancement. More data are required to understand the genetics, geographical spread and behaviour of

    Abstract We present a glimpse of vascular malformations seen at Sultan Qaboos University Hospital from July 2014 to December 2019. The cases are sporadic in nature. Molecular genetic studies can be conducted in patients with a family history of vascular malformations. Cultural practices relating to dress codes may lead to delays in presentation. A diagnostic/management algorithm about vascular malformations would help healthcare professionals diagnose, counsel, and refer appropriately, and a national registry would further enhance research and patient support groups.

    Abstract Congenital transmesenteric hernia in neonates is a rare cause of intestinal obstruction with devastating outcomes and still remains a challenge to diagnose pre-operatively. Patients are often managed with emergency surgical exploration and may need bowel resection. We present 2 neonates with small bowel obstruction secondary to strangulated transmesenteric hernia through a congenital defect in the small bowel mesentery, which were managed successfully. We have also reviewed the literature about congenital transmesenteric hernia in neonates.

    Abstract Background: Non-communicable diseases (NCD) represent a major public health issue and currently cause 185.75 deaths per 100,000 population in Oman. Hence, there is a need for comprehensive, up-to-date and internationally comparable data on NCD risk factors in order to evaluate the effectiveness of ongoing public health policies and to develop further NCD prevention and control interventions. The aim of the study was to provide evidence-based, up-to-date, extensive, and reliable baseline data on the behavioural and biological risk factors of NCDs in the Sultanate of Oman.
    Methods: A cross-sectional, prospective, observational community-based survey designed to be nationally representative of the Sultanate of Oman was conducted based on the WHO STEPwise approach to Surveillance (STEPS). Multi-stage stratified random sampling according to geographical distribution selected a total of 9053 households (Omani nationals and non-Omani residents). Cluster sampling was used to randomly select equal clusters from each governorate. 823 households were randomly selected from the list of all households in all selected clusters from each governorate and one eligible adult selected from each household randomly accounting for 6582 consenting participants. The survey used demographic and behavioural information questionnaires along with physical and biochemical measurements among adults aged 18 years and above.
    Results: The prevalence of behavioural risk factors such as tobacco use was 9%, alcohol consumption was 2%, insufficient fruit or vegetable intake was 61%, and insufficient physical activity was 39%. The prevalence of biological risk factors such as overweight and obesity was 66%, raised blood pressure was 33%, raised blood glucose was 16%, and raised blood cholesterol was 36%. The prevalence of multiple risk factors was also determined and 95% of the population were found to have more than one risk factor. Three or more risk factors were found among 33% of population aged 18 years and above and 45% of the population aged 45 years and above.
    Conclusion: A high prevalence of various NCD risk factors was found which needs to be addressed through health promotion, education, and policy. The findings are important to support the formulation and implementation of NCD-related policies and action plans that improve health status and prevent mortality due to NCDs in Oman.
