A parapelvic cyst is a well encapsulated collection of fluid outside of the renal parenchyma. It may give rise to urinary tract obstruction. Such a cyst at the renal pelvis may cause localized hydronephrosis, cortical thinning from intrarenal compression, and secondary hypertension remediable by surgical correction. However, to our knowledge, such a case has not been previously reported in the pediatric literature. CASE REPORT An 8-year-old black boy was evaluated for asymptomatic microscopic hematuria of six months' duration. There was no history of renal or cardiovascular diseases or of hypertension in the family. Blood pressure, which was 100/60 mm Hg initially, rose to 140/94 mm Hg at six-month follow-up visit.

A 3-year-old male German shepherd dog was presented with severe generalised seizures. The dog was protein-intolerant and showed severe hyperammonaemia on ammonia stimulation. The hyperammonaemic state was present for at least 6 weeks and then spontaneously resolved. No obvious cause (liver disease, portocaval shunts, urea cycle enzyme deficiencies, drug therapy or urinary tract obstruction) could be identified. It is possible that this dog had a variation of transient hyperammonaemic syndrome, described in man and recently in a juvenile Irish wolfhound, that extended into adulthood.

IntroductionSquamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the bladder is a rare malignancy in Western countries accounting for only 5% of all primary bladder cancers. Chronic irritation is the predominant risk factor, with chronic infections, bladder stones and long term catheterisation common precursors. The highest incidence of SCC occurs in patients with spinal cord injuries who rely on indwelling or self-catheterisation for bladder drainage. We report a case of primary SCC of the bladder secondary to a fungal ball located in the renal pelvis.Case reportA 72 year-old lady was referred to our unit for further investigation of recurrent polymicrobial urinary tract infections associated with intermittent flank pain and complicated by sepsis. Investigations into the cause for her recurrent urinary tract infections identified a mass in her left renal pelvis. Pyeloscopy demonstrated no tumour, but a fungal ball. Attempts to clear the fungal ball via pyeloscopy resulted in recurrent intensive care unit (ICU) admission for urosepsis. Several months after her last pyeloscopy she returned with haematuria. Cystoscopy at this time revealed a large bladder mass. Biopsy revealed primary SCC of the bladder invading muscle. At cystectomy the mass had invaded pubic bone and was unresectable and a palliative ileal conduit was formed. The patient passed away less than 4 months following diagnosis.ConclusionWe report what we believe to be the first case of primary SCC of the bladder secondary to a renal pelvis fungal ball. Despite frequent surveillance of her urinary tract the tumour developed rapidly and was unresectable at diagnosis.

Congenital ureterocele is an uncommon cause of urinary tract obstruction in the young patient. Though they may be diagnosed in utero, some however present in the first few decades of life. Most are associated with a duplex collection system with complete ureteral duplication. Here we report a case of single system ureterocele associated with only a single ureter. Key words: ureterocele; urinary tract obstruction. DOI: 10.3126/jcmsn.v6i2.3615 Journal of college of Medical Sciences-Nepal, 2010, Vol.6, No-2, 38-41

Obstructive nephropathy can manifest as either a sudden or an insidious decline in renal function, which can be can halted or even reversed by relief of obstruction. Obstruction can be due to anatomical or functional abnormalities of the urethra, bladder, ureter, or renal pelvis, which may be congenital or acquired, and it can also occur as a consequence of diseases extrinsic to the urinary tract. Although dilatation of the outflow system proximal to the site of obstruction is a characteristic finding, widening of the ureter and/or pelvicalyceal system does not necessarily indicate the presence of obstruction, and flow may be obstructed without such dilatation....
