RESUMO
The annular pancreas (AP) is an uncommon congenital anomaly, characterised by a circumferential envelope in the second portion of the duodenum. In recent years, some genetic component has been found in the etiology. A newborn full-term male, weighing at 1910 g at birth, had a history of intrauterine growth restriction and diagnosis of tetralogy of Fallot, Down syndrome and congenital hypothyroidism. Duodenal membrane is suspected after persistent postprandial vomiting and abdominal distension; his abdomen was distended, hyperresonant and soft. The gastroduodenal series showed data compatible with a duodenal membrane so exploratory laparotomy was performed, finding the pancreas completely wrapping the second portion of the duodenum, so a diamond-shaped-duodenoduodenostomy anastomosis was performed. The AP should be considered, especially in male neonates with postprandial vomiting, abdominal distension, who show some other congenital anomaly, and in the abdominal X-ray, the sign of the double bubble is observed.

Epignathus is a rare congenital orofacial teratoma that arises from the sphenoid region of the palate or the pharynx. It occurs in approximately 1:35,000 to 1:200,000 live births representing 2% to 9% of all teratomas. We present the case of a newborn of 39.4 weeks of gestation with a tumor that occupied the entire oral cavity. The patient was delivered by cesarean section. Oral resection was managed by pediatric surgery. Plastic surgery used virtual 3-dimensional models to establish the extension, and depth of the tumor. Bloc resection and reconstruction of the epignathus were performed. The mass was diagnosed as a mature teratoma associated with cleft lip and palate, nasoethmoidal meningocele that conditions hypertelorism, and a pseudomacrostoma. Tridimensional technology was applied to plan the surgical intervention. It contributed to a better understanding of the relationships between the tumor and the adjacent structures. This optimized the surgical approach and outcome.
