Abstract Background Emergency appendectomy is often performed for de Garengeot hernia. However, in some cases, there may be a chance to perform an appendix-preserving elective surgery. Case description A 76-year-old woman presented to our hospital with complaints of a right inguinal swelling, which we diagnosed as a de Garengeot hernia using computed tomography (CT). B-mode ultrasonography (US) of the mass showed an appendix 4–6 mm in diameter with a clear wall structure; color Doppler US showed pulsatile blood flow signal in the appendiceal wall. Twenty-eight days later, herniorrhaphy with transabdominal preperitoneal repair (TAPP) was performed without appendectomy. Another 70-year-old woman presented to our hospital with complaints of a painful bulge in the right inguinal region. The diagnosis of de Garengeot hernia was made using CT. B-mode US showed an appendix 5 mm in diameter with a clear wall structure. Color Doppler US showed a pulsatile blood signal in the appendiceal wall. Seven days later, herniorrhaphy with TAPP was performed without appendectomy. Conclusion De Garengeot hernia is often associated with appendicitis; however, an appendix-preserving elective herniorrhaphy can be performed if US and intraoperative findings do not suggest appendicitis or circulatory compromise in the appendix.

The blind traumas of the scrotum are an uncommon event; references, iconography and descriptions of the clinical development of scrotal syndromes are poor. The scrotum and the didimal or funicular structures are often involved in different conditions. The authors are reporting on three interesting cases (for patients’ age, mechanism of traumatism and anatomic damage), gathered from a series of 12 cases of blind traumas of the scrotum, observed during 2 years (2005–2006). They include the iconography related to each single case, and emphasize the uncertain role of ultrasonography with color Doppler for a correct diagnosis. The clinical evolution and the long-term damage to gonad functionality are presented.

Acute scrotal pain due to testicular vein thrombosis is a rare condition. Thrombosis is defined as clot formation within the blood vessels and as a result, it interrupts the blood supply of the peripheral organs. In routine urology practice, the incidence of thromboembolic diseases is <1%, and it is mostly encountered in patients at the postoperative period. Nevertheless, testicular vein thrombosis should also be remembered in the differential diagnosis of patients admitted to the emergency department due to acute scrotum. In general, conservative treatment is the first choice in treatment management, but surgical intervention may also be required in some cases. Since the available data on this subject are based on the information obtained from case reports, a standard treatment approach should be developed by examining the current treatment methods. We aim to present the case report of testicular vein thrombosis in the light of the literature, which is one of the rarely seen emergencies of urology. Keywords: acute pain; color doppler ultrasonography; venous thrombosis; testicular diseases

AbstractConjoined twins are a rare, but serious, complication of monozygotic twins. Early prenatal diagnosis of conjoined twins is increasingly made with transvaginal ultrasound and color Doppler studies. Most prenatally diagnosed conjoined twins are terminated due to the high perinatal mortality, but advancement in pediatric surgery has allowed for successful postnatal separation in a small number of cases, and some parents may consider this option over termination of pregnancy. It is important to get a detailed prenatal ultrasound for the site and extent of fusion for an accurate categorization. Three-dimensional ultrasound (3DUS) provides images that can facilitate counselling for the parents. Additional information that impacts on diagnosis, prognostication, and perinatal management of conjoined twins could be obtained from selective use of 3DUS, particularly those with atypical fetal union. Most of the proposed additional benefits of 3DUS are based on case reports. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been increasingly used for the purpose of identifying intricate organ sharing. Because of the rarity of this condition, and the heterogeneity of fetal fusion, added benefits of either 3DUS or MRI for prenatal diagnosis and perinatal management of conjoined twins have not been demonstrated by well-conducted clinical trials. This article aims to review clinical application of various 3DUS display modes in prenatal assessment of conjoined twins, focusing on their potential additional benefits, risks and misuses. 3DUS may help detecting additional findings that are not possible with 2DUS, but, it has not been scientifically shown to improve the survival rate of the twins or reduce maternal morbidity.
