Abstract
The aims of this study were to determine incidence and types of observable congenital abnormalities among births of Mirza Kochak-Khan, Imam Khomeni and Shariatti hospitals between first of Novermber 2000 to the end of September 2001.
Materials and Methods: We used neonates that survived for 24 hours after delivery. A questionnaire was specially designed to explore each of the objectives for our study. A group of experts that were thoroughly trained to completed questionnaires by interview to mothers and evaluation of neonates. Data analysis was performed and by Excel and SPSS.
Results: Results showed that congenital abnormalities were present in 205 (3.2 %) of 6424 neonates, from 3 hospitals. The most frequent abnormalities consisted of musculoskeletal defects (37.3 %), Nervous system defects (24.7 %), urogenital defects (24.3 %) head and neck defects (13.6 %).
Conclusion: The result of this study showed that incidence of visible congenital abnormalities ratio in contrast to other countries have not significant difference but the types abnormalities were significant.

Background: A high percentage of the patients at ENT or plastic
surgery clinics have ENT abnormalities, either congenital or those developing
later in life. Some are life threatening, while others cause disability and
esthetic problems, with profound consequences for the affected child and the
family. In addition, ENT abnormalities usually place stress on interpersonal
relationships, causing social isolation, unhappiness and depression. The
majority of these abnormalities is genetic and follows autosomal recessive pattern
of inheritance. Geneticists believe that there is a higher frequency of autosomal
recessive disorders among the offspring of consanguineous parents. The aim of
this study was to find the frequency of ENT abnormalities among children born of consanguineous parents.
Methods: We studied 3503 files (pedigrees) of patients referred for genetic
counseling at the Department of Genetics at Imam
Khomeini Hospital,
Tehran, Iran, from 1999 to 2000. We studied these
cases according to degree of parental consanguinity, patterns of inheritance
and gender using SPSS v.15.
Results: Of all 3503 files, 206 had ENT abnormalities, of which 157 had consangui-neous
marriages. Among these 157 pedigrees, 496 cases had consanguineous parents. Out of the 496 cases, the
four most frequent ENT abnormalities were: 115 cases (23.2%) of deafness,
53
cases (10.7%) of hearing loss, 12 cases (2.4%) of cleft lip and palate, and 5 cases (1%) of cleft
palate.
Conclusion: This high frequency of ENT abnormalities
indicates that consanguineous marriage should be discouraged by Iranian policy
makers in order to reduce the burden of these disorders on society. Further
research into the cultural problems that encourage consanguineous marriage and
ways of resolving these problems is recommended.

Abstract
Background: Septate uterus is the most common congenital malformation of the uterus in normal population and also patients with recurrent abortions. Pathogenesis of the disease is incompletely elucidated. It is clarified that incomplete absorption of paramesonephric ducts in the first trimester is responsible for septum formation. Hysteroscopy is known as the standard diagnostic and therapeutic procedure for septate uterus. In this study, our aim was to evaluated the effects of hysteroscopic septal resection in improving pregnancy outcomes in patients with unexplained infertility or recurrent abortion.
Methods: Prospective cohort study was conducted in a Tehran University Medical Sci-ences affiliated hospital from April 2012 to May 2013. Eight patients were excluded from the study because of non-reproductive related complains. The other 40 patients went through a prospective cohort study and were treated for septate uterus. All patients had complete history taken and underwent physical examination. Septum size was measured by hysteroscopy. Patients underwent hysteroscopic metroplasty with resectoscope with an equatorial semicircular loop cutting 12 with monopolar energy. Some septum resected by 5 french hysteroscopic scissor. The patients were visited 2 month later for evaluated surgical outcome. This assessment was done by hysterosalpingography (HSG). Patient’s reproductive outcome were followed for 10.33 (SD:±6.43) months.
Results: The mean age in patients was 31.5 (SD±3.02) years. In whole, 48 patients un-derwent hysteroscopic metroplasty. In 52.1% length of septum occupied two third of uterine cavity. Eight patients were excluded from the study because of non-reproductive related complains. There were 29 pregnant patients (72.5%). Fifteen patients became pregnant without intervention (51.7%). 14 patients had pregnancy under ART, while the pregnancy did not occur in 11 patients (27.5%) during this period. Among pregnant population there were 9 miscarriage (31%), 3 preterm (13.3%) and 17 term delivery (50%). Live birth rate in our study was 68.9%. In control hysterosalpingography (HSG), no patients had adhesion or residual ridge.
Conclusion: The findings of this study indicate that hysteroscopic septoplasty is ac-ceptable for improving reproductive outcomes in patients with septate uterus.

Abstract
Before the recent outbreaks of Zika virus, few people have ever heard of its name. Even virologists had paid little attention to this member of the Flaviviridae family. Hence, up to January 2016, only 269 articles about Zika virus had been indexed in PubMed compared to the 9187 articles related to dengue virus. However, declaration of the World health organization (WHO) about the global Zika virus spreading, which has been associated with birth defects and some neurological problems, diverted more attention to this forgotten virus. Afterwards, the virus hit the headlines and became a research interest. Since then, up to 9 August 2017, the number of Zika related articles indexed in PubMed reached to 3214. Zika virus is a re-emerging arbovirus. The First detection of Zika virus was in Uganda in 1947. It belongs to the Flavivirus genus in the Flaviviridae family. Zika can typically cause a mild and self-limiting disease in a healthy person. However, in pregnant women, it might cause birth defects and occasionally it can be associated with peripheral neuropathy such as Guillain-Barre syndrome. Although many research have been conducted to find out the casual link between this virus and these disorders but this relationship is still dim and controversial. Considering its recent epidemics in 2015 and 2016 the geographical distribution of Zika virus seems to expand all over the world progressively. Interaction between virus and vector is dynamic. Variety of competent vectors and adaptability of virus to new arthropod vectors are the two major factors for this process. According to the last report published by WHO, 84 countries/territories in five continents have reported the circulation of Zika virus in their area. In the recent outbreak, WHO regional office in our region (EMRO) have reported no case of Zika virus transmission from this region. Nonetheless, because specific and competent vectors exist in some countries, this region has a potential of epidemic risk. Until now we have neither autochthonous nor imported case of Zika virus in our country but we should prepare for any unexpected situation. In this review, we will discuss new findings about the history, virological features, vectors, transmission routes and epidemiological aspects as well as laboratory diagnosis of Zika virus. In addition, the epidemiology of this virus in Iran will be discussed.

Abstract
Background: Congenital malformations of the kidney and urinary tracts happen in 3-6 per 1000 live births and these abnormalities are the reason, for (ESRD) in children and also the reason for subsequent kidney problems such as kidney stones, infections and hypertension in adulthood. One of the most common anomalies of the renal system is the double collecting system. Knowledge of anatomical variations and disorders before surgery can make the surgical procedure smoother for the surgeon and prevent unwanted mistakes. Imaging through radiology, computed tomography, and MRI is the best way to diagnose early, follow-up, and planning for surgery, diagnosis of complications and extra kidney abnormalities.

Case Presentation: Our report in this article is about four years old girl who went to the MRA center of Baath Hospital in Sanandaj due to flank pain in December 2019. After abdominal imaging, signs of an abnormality of the double collecting system were revealed. Abdominal and pelvic ultrasound revealed abnormalities of the UVJ, and the distal part of the right urethral duct was approximately 2 mm in size. Also, the anterior-posterior diameter of the right renal pelvis was reported to be 2 mm and the upper calyx of the right kidney was quite dilated. This incomplete integration leads to complete or incomplete forms of the renal collecting system. The prevalence of this anomaly is also mostly unilateral, but our report, in this case, is about bilateral ureters.
Conclusion: We reported a rare case of bilateral Y-shaped bifid ureter, that's in this kind of anomaly 2, pyelocaliceal systems connect at the junction of the ureter to pelvic (bifid pelvis), and this abnormality was accidentally detected on ultrasound and MRI examinations. However, since duplex kidneys are often asymptomatic and therefore mainly diagnosed incidentally in patients, the actual number of patients with symptoms is probably lower.
