11/98. Percutaneous management of a nephrocutaneous fistula due to a pyelocaliceal diverticular calculus.Nephrocutaneous fistulas arising from stone-containing pyelocaliceal diverticula are rare. We describe 2 patients who were treated by open drainage for perirenal abscesses. Subsequently, both patients presented with a nephrocutaneous fistula from a stone-containing pyelocaliceal diverticulum. These patients were successfully treated by percutaneous nephrostolithotomy with fulguration of the diverticula.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = fistula (Clic here for more details about this article) |
12/98. Prenatal puncture of a unilateral hydronephrosis leading to fetal urinoma and postnatal nephrectomy.Fetal pelvicaliceal dilatation due to ureteropelvic junction obstruction is the most common cause of antenatal hydronephrosis; it rarely leads to a spontaneous rupture resulting in urinoma formation. Antenatal intervention has been recommended only in those cases of large urinomas that seem to interfere with the function of other organ systems (eg, pulmonary hypoplasia secondary to diaphragmatic elevation). We report the case of a fetal intervention (transuterine puncture) in a unilateral massive hydronephrosis leading to a perirenal urinoma and the preterm birth of a female infant. Postnatally, mechanical ventilation and oxygen were required, as was forced percutaneous urinoma drainage. Evaluation revealed a fistula formation between the perirenal space and the kidney's collecting system, possibly due to the fetal intervention. Unfortunately the kidney function was very poor, and surgery to remove the impaired kidney and the urinoma was performed. We discuss the possible effects of fetal intervention in cases of obstructive uropathy and the postnatal risks associated with it.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.16666666666667keywords = fistula (Clic here for more details about this article) |
13/98. Spontaneous nephrocutaneous fistula--2 unusual case reports with review of literature.We report two unusual cases of spontaneous nephrocutaneous fistulas. They were discovered to be the cases of neglected calculous disease in a poorly functioning kidney and tuberculous pyelonephritis respectively. A timely nephrectomy cured their debilitating condition and prevented further morbidity. We have discussed the etio-pathogenesis, clinical and diagnostic approach towards the cases of nephrocutaneous fistula. The literature regarding nephrocutaneous fistula has been reviewed and discussed. A stepwise algorithm has been proposed to manage cases of nephrocutaneous fistulas.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.3333333333333keywords = fistula (Clic here for more details about this article) |
14/98. A complex caliceal-cutaneous and caliceal-peritoneal fistula in a renal transplant patient: a case for conservative management.Caliceal fistula is a rare complication after renal transplant and may lead to graft failure. We present a case of complex caliceal-cutaneous and caliceal-peritoneal fistula in a renal transplant patient who was successfully managed conservatively.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = fistula (Clic here for more details about this article) |
15/98. Renogastric fistula.During the study of chronic anemia in a 38-year-old woman, a nonfunctioning left kidney due to multiple asymptomatic ureteral calculi was found on excretory urography. She had self-limited episodes of left flank pain 10 years previously. Antegrade pyelography through the nephrostomy tube and computerized tomography showed a pyonephrotic renogastric fistula on that side.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.83333333333333keywords = fistula (Clic here for more details about this article) |
16/98. High-output congestive heart failure successfully treated with transcatheter coil embolization of a large renal arteriovenous fistula.Left heart catheterization was performed in response to progressive congestive heart failure of uncertain etiology in a 59-year-old male. The coronary arteries were normal but screening abdominal aortography revealed a large arterial venous communication between the left inferior segmental renal artery and the ipsilateral renal vein. The massive size and brisk flow patterns in the fistula presented technical challenges for transcatheter closure. The use of multiple Amplatz vascular obstructive devices (spiders) to create a matrix for securing subsequent coils in staged procedures and the patient's progress following successful closure are discussed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.83333333333333keywords = fistula (Clic here for more details about this article) |
17/98. Cutaneous xanthogranulomatous inflammation: a potential indicator of internal disease.Cutaneous xanthogranulomatous inflammation is usually regarded as a primary disease process. We describe two patients with xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis and nephro-cutaneous fistulae, one patient with xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis and a chole-cutaneous fistula and one patient with xanthogranulomatous appendicitis and appendiceal-cutaneous fistula. After the first case, awareness that cutaneous xanthogranulomatous inflammation can be secondary to related internal disease played a vital diagnostic role in the subsequent cases.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.5keywords = fistula (Clic here for more details about this article) |
18/98. Percutaneous injection of fibrin glue for persistent nephrocutaneous fistula after partial nephrectomy.We report a case of persistent urinary leak of nearly 4 months' duration after open surgical partial nephrectomy. The urinary leak was refractory to ureteral stenting, urethral catheter placement, and ureteroscopic fulguration. fibrin glue was injected percutaneously under fluoroscopic guidance into the nephrocutaneous fistula tract, which resulted in its prompt and complete resolution.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.83333333333333keywords = fistula (Clic here for more details about this article) |
19/98. Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis with nephrocutanous fistula and coexisting renal replacement lipomatosis: the report of a rare case.Renal replacement lipomatosis (RRL) is the result of rare, usually unilateral, and severe atrophy and destruction of the renal parenchyma often caused by renal calculi. It may be associated with, sometimes, aging, atrophy, long-standing chronic inflammation and urinary infection, such as renal tuberculosis. We report magnetic resonance (MR) and computed tomography (CT) findings of our case, which has xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis (XGP) and RRL additionally associated with nephrocutanous fistula.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.83333333333333keywords = fistula (Clic here for more details about this article) |
20/98. Percutaneous embolization of persistent urinary fistula after partial nephrectomy using N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate.Percutaneous closure of a calyceal fistula following partial nephrectomy for kidney cancer was achieved with fistula embolization with n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate. Previous attempts at closure by conservative and endoscopic means were unsuccessful. tissue adhesives are useful in the management of persistent urinary leakage after partial nephrectomy.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 83.653171068237keywords = urinary fistula, fistula (Clic here for more details about this article) |
