Biliary Atresia is a condition in which inflammation develops within the bile ducts around the time of birth. The inflammation can occur in any of the bile ducts both inside and outside of the liver. This leads to bile duct damage and reduces the flow of bile which subsequently causes scarring (fibrosis or cirrhosis) of the liver.

A hernia is a weak point in the muscle wall of the abdomen. It is identified by bulge which is often more noticeable when your child cries or is agitated. A hernia can protrude in many areas of the abdomen and if it is low down in the groin it is called an inguinal hernia.

INGUINAL HERNIA

A hydrocele is a swelling in the scrotum caused by a collection of fluid. It can be on one side or can affect both the sides of the scrotum. It is normally present in a few children at birth, and it may disappear in due course of time by it own. However, if it is increasing in size or persists beyond 2 to 3 years of age, it may need treatment.

The testicles are the sex organs that ultimately produce sperms and the male hormones like testosterone. They are formed near the kidneys in the foetal life. As the baby grows, they descend from the abdomen to the groin, through a hole or a defect in the lower abdominal wall by about 8th month of intrauterine life. Subsequently, around the time of birth of the baby, they descend into the scrotum. Normally, they are in the scrotum at the time of birth.

UNDESCENDED TESTIS

One of the most common urinary problems among children is infection of urinary tract (UTI). An estimated 3 % of girls and 1% of boys have had a urinary tract infection (UTI) by the age of 11. The symptoms are not always obvious to parents, and young children are usually unable to describe how they feel. However recognizing and treating urinary tract infection is important. Untreated UTI can lead to serious kidney problems that could threaten the life of your child.

URINARY TRACT INFECTION

Hydrocephalus is excessive accumulation of Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) within brain cavities called Ventricles. CSF is produced in the ventricles and circulates through the brain into the spinal cord before it is reabsorbed form the brain into the blood stream. When this pathway is blocked due to any reason, back pressure develops in the ventricles and results in hydrocephalus. CSF has many important viz. nourishment, cushion like protection of the nervous tissue and to carry waste products away.
