Uretero-Arterial Fistula: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

Aortobifemoral Bypass ◽

Left Ureter ◽

Uretero-arterial fistula (UAF) is a rare complication of either aneurysmal disease primarily or pelvic inflammation secondary to urologic, oncologic, or vascular interventions. Diagnosis can be difficult to confirm and treatment may need to proceed on high index of suspicion alone. We present the case of a 56-year-old woman suffering from intermittent hematuria after laser lithotripsy leading to UAF between her left ureter and left Dacron aortobifemoral bypass limb. The fistula was successfully treated with endovascular intervention.

Paediatric Practice ◽

Hypomelanosis of Ito (HI) though said to be the third most common neurocutaneus disorder, is rarely reported in paediatric practice in Africa. A high index of suspicion must be maintained in children with cutaneous lesions as a seizure may be the first symptom that may bring the child to attention. A case of HI in a neonate is hereby reported to sensitize clinicians about this relatively uncommon disorder

Per Se ◽

Pancreaticopleural fistula is an extremely rare complication of chronic pancreatitis. Interestingly it may present without any symptoms of pancreatitis per se. The diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion due to the predominant thoracic symptoms. Cases with massive, rapidly refilling, refractory pleural effusion in the setting of pancreatitis (symptomatic or asymptomatic) should be suspected of having a pancreaticopleural fistula. We report two cases of pancreaticopleural fistula. One of the patient also had pancreatic divisum and to the best of our knowledge this is the first case report of pancreatic divisum with pancreaticopleural fistula in the literature.

AbstractObjectives:This paper reports on two rare cases of neonatal airway lesions with differing aetiology that were successfully managed by surgery, and provides a review of the literature on neonatal stridor and airway lesions.Case reports:In the first case report, a newborn presented with a nasopharyngeal teratoma. In the second case report, a newborn presented with a congenital laryngeal saccular cyst. Difficulties in the diagnosis of these lesions, and surgical and anaesthetic challenges in their management are discussed.Conclusion:Every case of neonatal airway distress must be evaluated and the cause of stridor needs to be established. It is important that rare lesions such as teratomas and laryngeal cysts are not overlooked; a high index of suspicion for these congenital anomalies is necessary. These airway lesions should be managed in an institutional setting by a multidisciplinary team.

Specific Symptoms

Little attention has been paid for the renal involvement in endometriosis, a rare and silent disorder which ultimately lead to renal failure. Involvement most commonly may be limited to single ureter (left one) and it is usually involvement extrinsically. Although cases have been reported in the literature, true incidence of ureteral involvement is still not known. The diagnosis is difficult as the disease has non-specific symptoms. Only high index of suspicion with radiological support would be helpful in early diagnosis. Early cases may be benefited with progestin or Anti-aromatase therapy, most cases need surgery, either laparoscopically or laparotomy.

Survival Patterns ◽

Subglottic and tracheal malignancies are the least frequently encountered laryngeal cancers. When these tumors are encountered, they have often reached advanced size prior to producing symptoms. Once symptoms are brought to the attention of the otolaryngologist, rapid and accurate diagnosis is essential to effect the earliest possible treatment and to minimize morbidity and mortality associated with this problem. Illustrative cases are presented including a highly unusual case that presented with cardiac-like chest pain. A review of the literature including the pertinent anatomy, pathophysiology, and methods of diagnosis and treatment is presented. Increased familiarity with this disease process and a high index of suspicion on the part of the otolaryngologist may lead to improved survival patterns in patients with these malignancies.

First Case ◽

Anti-NMDA encephalitis is second commonest cause of autoimmune encephalitis among children; however, it is hardly diagnosed and often not considered as one of the differentials when a child presents with encephalitis-related symptoms. In children, it presents mostly with seizures or psychiatric symptoms without prodrome. Here we present a six years old girl who presented with seizures and inappropriate behaviour. We investigated her in the line of viral encephalitis such as Japanese Encephalitis, which is very common in our region. However, results were not suggestive of Japanese Encephalitis and further investigations subsequently lead to diagnosis of anti- NMDA encephalitis. This is probably one of the first case report of this disease in our country. We want to highlight the significance of high index of suspicion for looking out for an organic cause in any child who presents with psychiatric symptoms, along with seizures.

Locally Advanced Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma ◽

Chemoradiation is one of the therapeutic options in palliative treatment of locally advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma, with a well-known safety profile. In this case report, we describe the treatment-related occurrence of an intrasplenic pancreatic pseudocyst which was successfully removed by gastrocystic drainage. This rare complication should be considered in the follow-up and clinical management of patients, particularly if left-sided complaints occur.
