1/127. magnetic resonance imaging detection of symptomatic noncommunicating intraurethral wall diverticula in women.PURPOSE: We documented the merit of endorectal coil magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for detecting intraurethral wall diverticula in women. MATERIALS AND methods: We report on 3 women with a long-standing history of urinary frequency, urgency and voiding dysfunction who had been treated unsuccessfully for other etiologies. RESULTS: MRI of the urethra revealed noncommunicating intraurethral wall diverticula, which were excised. CONCLUSIONS: Urethral MRI should be considered in women with lower urinary tract symptoms secondary to a suspected urethral pathology.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = urinary (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/127. Urethral diverticulum presenting with chronic pelvic pain: a case report.Urethral diverticula are rarely encountered in the gynecologic out-patient setting. However, this condition probably occurs more frequently than it is diagnosed. The patient frequently notes signs of lower urinary tract irritation. Urinary dribbling accompanied with dyspareunia and dysuria constitutes a classic triad for urethral diverticula. Symptoms of chronic pelvic pain only occur in a minority of patients. We report a case of urethral diverticulum presenting chiefly with chronic pelvic pain. The patient underwent multiple investigative operations before a correct diagnosis was made. When confronted with a patient presenting with chronic pelvic pain, a gynecologist should retain a high index of suspicion for a urethral diverticulum in addition to other gynecologic conditions.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.5keywords = urinary (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/127. Infected congenital urethral diverticulum in an adult male.Congenital anterior urethral diverticulum is a rare anomaly. The majority present in infancy with urinary obstruction. Those who present beyond infancy do so on account of recurrent urinary tract infection or dribbling. We present a case of congenital anterior urethral diverticulum manifesting in adulthood with suppuration in the diverticulum.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = urinary (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/127. carcinoma in diverticulum of female urethra.A case of female urethral diverticulum is reported by the authors. It is a rare disease and about 31 cases have previously been described. An analysis is made in relation to the diverticulum of the urethra and to female urethral carcinoma. Emphasis is given on the semiology and the recently acquired diagnostic procedures, as these have led to an increased number of recognized cases. In the case presented, an extended resection and a definitive urinary derivation was performed, together with chemo- and radiotherapy. A follow-up of 2.5 years showed no signs of recurrence or metastases.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.5keywords = urinary (Clic here for more details about this article) |

6/127. Symptomatic paraurethral corpus spongiosum cyst in a male patient.The case of a 25-year-old man presenting with lower urinary tract symptoms who was found to have a noninflammatory posterior corpus spongiosum cyst is presented. The case was successfully managed by surgical excision and presents an uncommon cause of lower urinary tract dysfunction through irritation of the posterior urethra.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = urinary (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/127. Ulceration of the urethral meatus after simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation.A 39-year-old male developed painful ulceration of the glans penis following simultaneous pancreas and kidney transplantation for end-stage renal failure complicating insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. Infection was excluded. Diversion of the pancreatic secretions away from the urinary bladder into the bowel resulted in healing.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.5keywords = urinary (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/127. Transient pseudohypoaldosteronism secondary to posterior urethral valves--a case report and review of the literature.In transient pseudohypoaldosteronism (TPHA), renal tubular resistance to aldosterone is thought to be secondary to renal disease. We report a case of TPHA caused by posterior urethral valves associated with urinary tract infection and review 62 cases previously reported. The infant presented with unspecific signs of vomiting and dehydration, so that pyloric stenosis was first suspected. Laboratory data and retroperitoneal sonography led to the diagnosis TPHA. This case illustrates that urine culture and renal ultrasonography should be performed in any infant with electrolyte disturbances to exclude infection or obstructive uropathy.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.5keywords = urinary (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/127. Transpubic repair of vesicourethrovaginal fistula.A patient with recurrent urinary vaginal fistula involving bladder, bladder neck, and urethra was treated by transpubic approach. This afforded excellent exposure for careful repair of the urologic defects. Difficulty with ambulation during the first few weeks postoperatively may be related to removal of larger segment of pubic bone than is usually reported.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.5keywords = urinary (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/127. Antegrade periurethral administration of Durasphere for management of a vesicoperineal fistula.A patient who had developed a persistent fistula between the urethra and bladder neck after its surgical closure in the construction of a continent urinary pouch and Mitrofanoff nipple was successfully treated by antegrade periurethral injection of a newly approved injectable bulking agent for stress urinary incontinence (Durasphere) to occlude the bladder neck. We believe this to be the first reported use of Durasphere for such treatment.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 68.547979350776keywords = urinary incontinence, incontinence, urinary (Clic here for more details about this article) |
