Ectopic ureteroceles are one of the most common human urinary tract anomalies. They tend to be recognized and treated in early childhood, especially when they have prolapsed. In most cases surgical therapy is inevitable. In this case report, however, we present the unusual case of a 26-year-old woman suffering from a prolapsed cecoureterocele without any known history of an ectopic ureterocele so far. She was successfully treated without the need for a surgical procedure.

In the urinary tract, foreign body is most commonly found in the urinary bladder. It is commonly self-inflicted but can rarely be introduced by other person. Various types of foreign bodies have been reported, which includes infusion set, aluminum rod, gold chain, pearl, fish, pencil etc. Here we report a case of a 28-year young man who gave the history of forceful introduction of a long wire of mobile charger into the bladder by another person. It could not be removed by himself and by the local doctors. Then he was referred to Enam Medical College & Hospital and subsequently was removed by suprapubic cystostomy.

Abstract Background Seminoma is the most common subtype of testicular cancer and occurs most commonly in patients aged 30–49 years, but decreases to a very low level in men in their 60s or older. Case presentation A 90-year-old Syrian man with a 6-year history of an increase in size of his right scrotum, presented to the urological clinic and, on clinical examination, the findings suggested testicular tumor. After orchiectomy and histology results based on microscopic and immunohistochemical examinations, a pure seminoma was diagnosed, so we describe in this case report the second-oldest patient with classical seminoma in the medical literature. Conclusion This case report has been written to focus on the probability of any type of testicular tumor occurring at any age or decade; urologists should consider seminoma as a differential diagnosis with any testicular swelling even in elderly patients.

A variety of medications, most notably tricyclic antidepressants, and other antidepressants including venlafaxine have been reported to have triggered manic episodes in patients with bipolar disorder. The synthetic opioid tramadol has also been associated with mania activation. This report describes an unusual case of tramadol-associated mania in a patient without a charted diagnosis of bipolar disorder. However, she had a history of two prior episodes of mania following administration of tramadol that were also believed to be related to medication-induced mood disorder rather than underlying bipolar disorder. We hypothesize that tramadol-associated mania may have an underlying mechanism involving monoamine neurotransmission and increased oxidative stress.

We illustrate repeat dosing of spinal anesthesia as a means to avoid opioids during lumbar surgery for a patient intolerant of opioids. A patient required redo lumbar surgery but had a marked history of nausea, vomiting and retching in response to opioids. A propofol-based anesthetic was supplemented with intravenous ketamine and intrathecal bupivacaine. The first dose of bupivacaine receded during the lengthy surgical procedure but was supplemented by means of a 25-gauge pencil-point needle passed through the exposed dura. Postoperatively, there was no spinal fluid leak, no headache, and no nausea. Supplementation of intrathecal anesthesia under direct dural vision during lengthy lumbar surgery is facile, can help to obviate a need for opioids, and can aid in avoidance of postoperative nausea and vomiting.

Primary mature retroperitoneal teratomas are rare tumors most commonly occurring in adult females. These tumors are usually asymptomatic since they have no attachments to specific organs. We present a rare case of a 28-year-old male with 2-month history of lower urinary tract symptoms, who was found to have a primary mature cystic teratoma abutting the prostate.

Unusual presentation of multiple myeloma (MM) poses a diagnostic dilemma. The objective of this case report is to document the unique presentation of MM and to highlight the importance of backache which could be the only indicator for the diagnosis of MM. Although a history of trauma in the past is present in this case, but there is no molecular basis/evidence to declare trauma as a risk factor for MM. It can be concluded that the patients with backache should be thoroughly investigated to rule out any possibility of malignant disease process.Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.17(2) 2018 p.311-315
