1/3. Urethral diverticulum with lithiasis.Urethral diverticulum, either congenital or acquired, is very rare and becomes symptomatic when complicated by infection and lithiasis. This paper reports on such a case that was cured by radical excision of the lesion.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = lithiasis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/3. The prenatal diagnosis of imperforate anus with rectourinary fistula: dilated fetal colon with enterolithiasis.The finding of extraluminal calcifications is commonly reported and usually indicates intrauterine intestinal perforation with intraperitoneal extravasation of meconium, most often associated with intestinal obstruction and/or atresias. Intraluminal calcification of meconium is more rare and appears to result from the mixing of stagnant urine and meconium in utero. The presence of the intraluminal calcifications in a dilated loop of intestine, particularly with an associated urinary tract abnormality, should suggest a rectourinary fistula. Two cases of prenatally diagnosed imperforate anus with rectourinary fistulae are reported.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.8keywords = lithiasis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/3. Synchronous caverno-spongious thrombosis and Fournier's gangrene.Fournier's or genito-perineal gangrene of the male genitalia typically spares the testis, urethra and deep penile components. It usually is polymicrobial and synergistic. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case in the literature with severe, deep, full penile thrombosis that caused a severe urethral stenosis and required later surgery. Only proteus mb. could be isolated and gave rise to a disseminated intravascular coagulation syndrome that has probably accentuated the thrombotic penile phenomenon. The process was secondary to urethral lithiasis.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = lithiasis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
