Currently, Ormond’s disease is classified among IgG4-associated diseases. Its clinical manifestation varies and is characterized by the presence of fibrous retroperitoneal tissue that often affects the ureters or abdominal aorta and iliac arteries. We present a unique case of the polycystic form of Ormond’s disease, imitating tumour in the retroperitoneal space. At the time of diagnosis, the disease was not metabolically active and did not require immunosuppressive therapy. The polycystic mass was removed surgically. There has been no exacerbation of the disease during the last 12 months.

Abstract Background and aims: The abdominal aorta usually terminates at the level of L4 vertebral body into common iliac arteries. With the present day advancements in vascular surgery and neurological surgeries involving approach to lumbar vertebral bodies, we need to know any variations from this normal course. So, the present study aimed at knowing the anatomical variations in the termination of abdominal aorta and in common iliac arteries which might prove to be of some help in some of such surgeries. Material and methods: The study was conducted on 35 adult (29 males and 6 females) embalmed cadavers obtained from anatomy departments of Govt. Medical college, Amritsar and Gian Sagar Medical college, Ramnagar, Punjab. The abdominal cavity was opened, peritoneum stripped off from aorta at its bifurcation, variations in its termination, common iliac arteries and their branches were carefully observed and recorded. Results: In 54.29% cases the level of aortic bifurcation was found opposite 4th Lumbar vertebra, in the rest it was variable between L3 and L5 vertebra. Conclusions: These variations may lead to some trouble during vertebral surgeries, making it essential to investigate and locate the exact position of great vessels before the commencement of surgery.

Inflammatory Tissue

Retroperitoneal fibrosis (RPF) is a rare but multifaceted disease which encompasses a range of conditions characterized by the presence of a fibro-inflammatory tissue, which usually surrounds the abdominal aorta, iliac arteries, and extends into the retroperitoneum to entrap ureters with resultant unilateral or bilateral obstruction, usually at the junction between the middle and lower thirds of the ureter. The condition is progressive: initially, the fibrous tissue is fairly cellular, later becoming relatively acellular. The mechanism by which obstruction occurs is probably due to loss of peristalsis. A histological diagnosis should be obtained if at all possible, and laparotomy is required in order to obtain a sufficiently large sample to differentiate between idiopathic and secondary causes of RPF. Treatment of idiopathic RPF is by corticosteroids in the first instance with ureteric stents or ureterolysis initially and requires regular monitoring.

Abstract Background Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and arterial calcification are considered at increased risk of adverse cardiovascular outcomes. However, the optimal site for measurement of arterial calcification has not been determined. The primary aim of this study was to examine the pattern of arterial calcification in different stages of CKD. Methods This was an observational, cross-sectional study that included 580 individuals with CKD stages 1–5 (no dialysis) from the Copenhagen CKD Cohort. Calcification of the carotid, coronary and iliac arteries, thoracic and abdominal aorta was assessed using non-contrast multidetector computed tomography scans and quantified according to the Agatston method. Based on the distribution of Agatston scores in the selected arterial region, the subjects were divided into calcium score categories of 0 (no calcification), 1–100, 101–400 and > 400. Results Participants with CKD stages 3–5 had the highest prevalence of calcification and the highest frequency of calcium scores > 400 in all arterial sites. Calcification in at least one arterial site was present in > 90% of patients with CKD stage 3. In all five CKD stages prevalence of calcification was greatest in both the thoracic and abdominal aorta, and in the iliac arteries. These arterial sites also showed the highest calcium scores. High calcium scores (> 400) in all five arterial regions were independently associated with prevalent cardiovascular disease. In multivariable analyses, after adjusting for cardiovascular risk factors, declining creatinine clearance was associated with increasing calcification of the coronary arteries (p = 0.012) and the thoracic aorta (p = 0.037) only. Conclusions Arterial calcification is highly prevalent throughout all five CKD stages and is most prominent in both the thoracic and abdominal aorta, and in the iliac arteries. Follow-up studies are needed to explore the potential of extracardiac calcification sites in prediction of cardiovascular events in the CKD population.
