1/12. A calculus within an anal fistula tract in a diabetic patient.A non-insulin dependent diabetic patient with a chronic anal fistula underwent fistulectomy. At operation a calculus was discovered. The patient had an uneventful recovery and healing of the wound in 4 weeks duration. The only case reported previously was in a nondiabetic patient and interestingly from this department.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = calculus (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/12. Anomalous pancreaticobiliary union and chronic pancreatitis: rare presentation with biliary peritonitis.Anomalous pancreaticobiliary union (APBU) has varied presentations. We report the case of a 12-year-old female who presented with biliary peritonitis due to a perforation of the common bile duct due to impaction of a pancreatic calculus at the duodenal papilla. She had a long common-biliary channel and pancreas divisum with chronic calcific pancreatitis involving the pancreatic head and neck. To our knowledge, this is the first such reported case in the literature.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = calculus (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/12. Embolisation of a renal artery pseudoaneurysm in a patient with renal malrotation and chronic aortic dissection.INTRODUCTION: renal artery pseudoaneurysms may arise as a complication of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). Prompt recognition and treatment is essential to arrest haemorrhage which may be life threatening. CLINICAL PICTURE: A patient with chronic aortic dissection and malrotated right kidney underwent PCNL for right renal calculus. He developed delayed gross haematuria. TREATMENT: angiography showed a pseudoaneurysm arising from one of two right renal arteries, which in turn arose from the false lumen of the aortic dissection. The supplying artery was successfully embolised. CONCLUSION: renal artery pseudoaneurysms can be successfully treated with prompt angiography and embolisation, even in the presence of renal malrotation and aortic dissection.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = calculus (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/12. Biliary peritonitis secondary to perforation of common bile duct: an unusual presentation of chronic calcific pancreatitis.common bile duct perforation causing biliary peritonitis is an unusual entity and a pancreatic calculus causing this perforation is all the more rare, and to our knowledge has not been reported previously. Such an unusual presentation of chronic calcific pancreatitis is herein reported.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = calculus (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/12. shock wave-induced pancreatic trauma.A case is described of the appearance of a pancreatic or peripancreatic lesion after left renal calculus fragmentation by extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL). Its anatomical location and subsequent disappearance suggest it was related to trauma caused by the shock waves. The brief literature on pancreatic injury after ESWL is reviewed, and the role of the patient's underlying liver disease in the genesis of this complication is discussed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = calculus (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/12. Recurrent calculus formation following removal of the submandibular salivary gland.Three cases are presented in which calculi appear to have reformed in the submandibular duct many years after the total removal of the submandibular gland. The basis for this is presumed to be the existence of communications between the sublingual glandular complex and the remaining submandibular duct.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.8keywords = calculus (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/12. CT demonstration of spontaneous extrusion of staghorn calculus.We report a patient in whom spontaneous extrusion of a staghorn calculus into the flank soft tissues was diagnosed by CT. The stone was demonstrable on CT as fragments of calcific density appearing in the subcutaneous area. To our knowledge this complication of renal calculus disease has not been previously reported.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.2keywords = calculus (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/12. Chronic obstructive pancreatitis associated with gallstone in a child.A case of chronic obstructive pancreatitis in a 15-year-old girl is presented. The aetiology of the disease is believed to be due primarily to an impacted gallstone in the ampulla of vater and secondarily to a large intraductal calculus in the pancreas. A pancreaticogastrostomy was performed and the large pancreatic calculus removed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.4keywords = calculus (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/12. Localized chronic suppurative bone infection as a sequel of peri-implantitis in a hydroxyapatite-coated dental implant.Plaque-induced lesions can produce peri-implant bone loss with ultimate implant loss. Although the peri-implant tissues seem to be more resistant than the periodontal ones to plaque and calculus, they can produce a more extensive spread of the infection to the deeper tissues around implants. The case of a 45-year-old female patient is presented in which, over a three year period, there was a progressive loss of peri-implant bone and the formation of a periapical radiolucency with an external fistula. The implant was removed and examined with the cutting-grinding system. microscopy examination showed that most of the hydroxyapatite (HA) was still adherent to the metal. There was a detachment in the area of the HA-titanium interface. The implant surface was almost completely covered by bacteria. bacteria were also present in the bone medullary spaces surrounding the implant. The infection of the periodontal tissues had progressed into the alveolar bone, thus producing a localized bone infection. The cause of the implant failure is probably related to a defective connection of the abutment or to overloading of the implant due to the presence of interlocks in the prosthetic restoration.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = calculus (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/12. Late return of renal function after correction of chronic obstruction.A 57-year-old man presented with renal failure secondary to bilateral interstitial nephritis and left hydronephrosis owing to a calculus in the renal pelvis, creatinine clearance being 2.4 cc per minute. Renal function did not improve after left pyelolithotomy and hemodialysis was instituted. No demonstrable change in renal function could be detected until 10 weeks postoperatively when creatinine clearance was 25 cc per minute.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = calculus (Clic here for more details about this article) |
