Introduction: Percutaneous treatment of persistent urinary fistula after partial nephrectomy using N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate and gelatin sponge (Spongostan®) is an effective and relatively non-invasive procedure that should be considered when a conservative approach fails. Three successful cases of percutaneous embolization by using N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate have been reported in the literature. To our knowledge, the use of Spongostan for the treatment of urinary fistula after partial nephrectomy has not been previously described. Case report: We present the case of an 82-year old man who underwent percutaneous closure of a urinary fistula following partial nephrectomy by using gelatin sponge (Spongostan®) and N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate.Conclusions: We encourage the use of this technique in selected cases. Collaboration amongst urologists and skilled interventional radiologist is strongly recommended.

Background: Psychiatric disorders are often difficult to evaluate and sometimes have negative connotations associated. That could be a reason to ignore the correct diagnosis of underlying neurological diseases.Case report: We present a case report of a patient with psychiatric symptomatology, where during the study in the Emergency Department an acute hydrocephalus secondary to a massive meningioma was evidenced.Conclusions: This case exemplifies how psychiatric symptoms, often devalued by the physician, may be the first manifestation of serious neurological disorders, as well as being associated with a medical emergency, as in this case was the acute hydrocephalus.
