1/98. Iatrogenic reno-jejunal fistula.The development of a reno-jejunal fistula following a Roux-en-Y cystojejunostomy for an incorrectly diagnosed pancreatic pseudocyst is described. Up to now, this is the second case of iatrogenic reno-jejunal fistula reported in literature. Reno-jejunal fistulas are exceedingly rare and are usually consequences of urologic pathologies of infectious origin. Reno-jejunal fistulas of iatrogenic origin are even rarer, only one case being referred in literature [1]. Herein the second case is reported.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = fistula (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/98. Nephrobronchial fistula secondary to xantogranulomatous pyelonephritis.We report a case of staghorn nephrolithiasis that evolved into xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis with perinephric abscess, nephrobronchial fistula, and lung abscess. The patient was an intravenous drug abuser who tested positive for human immunodeficiency virus, without evidence of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. He presented with a 2-month history of untreated repeated episodes of left flank pain and hyperpyrexia. Treatment involved left nephrectomy, debridement of abscess, tube drainage, and intravenous antibiotics. The patient illustrates the need to consider untreated nephrolitiasis as a predisposing factor for pulmonary complications.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.625keywords = fistula (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/98. Cutaneous nephrocolonic fistula as a consequence of a kidney stone.We report an unusual case of cutaneous nephrocolonic fistula caused by a renal calculus with perirenal infection. The diagnosis was made by fistulography and computed tomography, after which nephrectomy and resection of the descending colon were successful. We also review the literature on cutaneous nephrocolonic fistulas.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.75keywords = fistula (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/98. Ureteroarterial fistula in a patient with a single functioning kidney.A rare case is reported of a fistula between the left internal iliac artery and the left ureter in a patient whose left kidney was the only functioning kidney. Internal iliac artery embolization was initially successful in stopping the bleeding, but the fistula recurred when the ureteral stent was removed. Even after embolization, the tissue surrounding a fistula remains very fragile, so the fistula may easily recur as a result of slight injury or inflammation.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = fistula (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/98. Laparoscopic repair of vesicovaginal fistula and right nephrectomy for nonfunctioning kidney in a single session.We report a case of failed vesicovaginal fistula repair and nonfunctioning right kidney, which was managed by laparoscopic nephrectomy and fistula repair with omental interposition in a single session.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.75keywords = fistula (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/98. Caliceal fistula in kidney transplantation. The role of magnetic resonance imaging.Caliceal fistula is a rare complication of renal transplantation, which often raises some diagnostic problems. We report the case of a patient in which this complication occurred and in whom the diagnosis could be clearly demonstrated by using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). On the T1-weighted images, a perirenal collection was depicted by a low signal intensity. On T2-weighted images, the collection appeared with a high signal intensity, and a linear hyperintensity was observed on the internal graft's labium at the level of the inferior pole corresponding to a caliceal fistula arising from the lower pole of the graft. In this setting, the use of MRI is compared with the other diagnostic techniques (sonography, CT scan, nephrogram, scintigraphy). MRI constitutes a progress in imaging of the renal graft by its high definition and the lack of nephrotoxicity. Its place remains, however, to be more precisely defined in the evaluation of a renal graft's complications.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.75keywords = fistula (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/98. Spontaneous pyeloduodenal fistula: an unusual presentation in advanced renal transitional cell carcinoma.Spontaneous pyeloduodenal fistula is extremely rare. Most of the etiologies belong to chronic renal inflammatory disease, especially in patients with renal calculi. In published studies, only 2 cases have been reported in association with renal malignancy. We report a case of spontaneous pyeloduodenal fistula associated with transitional cell carcinoma, which has not been previously described in published reports.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.75keywords = fistula (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/98. Ureteral stent--help or hindrance? In healing of post traumatic nephrocutaneous fistula.Nephrocutaneous fistulas are rare complications of blunt or penetrating renal trauma. The majority are managed conservatively, some may require percutaneous drainage or ureteral stenting and some require operative intervention. Diversion of the urine by a ureteral stent usually aids in the healing of the fistula. We present an unusual case of nephrocutaneous fistula following blunt renal trauma which persisted as long as a stent was in place but healed immediately after the stent was removed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.875keywords = fistula (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/98. Arteriovenous aneurysm of kidney after open renal biopsy.Renal arteriovenous fistula following percutaneous renal biopsy is being reported frequently in the literature. For this reason, open renal biopsy has gained popularity as a safer alternative procedure. We present a case of a large arteriovenous fistula seen two years after open renal biopsy. The presentation was highly atypical, mimicking an acute gastrointestinal event, rather than sudden hemorrhage in a previously asymptomatic fistula.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.375keywords = fistula (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/98. Successful conservative management of a pyelo-duodenal fistula.Uro-intestinal fistula is a rare entity and mostly managed by means of surgical intervention. We report a case of pyelo-duodenal fistula which was treated conservatively.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.75keywords = fistula (Clic here for more details about this article) |
