Surgical Tactics

We analyzed the experience of a rare complication of ventriculoperitoneal shunting – migration of the abdominal catheter into the scrotum through the non-obliterated vaginal scion with the development of acute symptoms from the scrotum. The case histories of two patients with short-term complications of ventriculoperitoneal shunting were studied, general clinical and instrumental examination data were presented, and surgical tactics for this condition were analyzed. The problem of these complications is shown as related, requiring the collective participation of urologists, surgeons, neurosurgeons This review provides general guidelines for managing patients with the described complication based on published data and our own experience.

AbstractBrucellosis is a zoonotic disease widely seen in endemic regions and that can lead to systemic involvement. The musculoskeletal system is frequently affected, and the disease can exhibit clinical involvements such as arthritis, spondylitis, spondylodiscitis, osteomyelitis, tenosynovitis and bursitis. Spondylitis and spondylodiscitis, common complications of brucellosis, predominantly affect the lumbar and thoracic vertebrae.Epidural abscess may occur as a rare complication of spondylitis. Spinal brucellosis and development of epidural abscess in the cervical region are rare. Development of epidural abscess affects the duration and success of treatment. Spinal brucellosis should be considered in patients presenting with fever and lower back-neck pain in endemic regions, and treatment must be initiated with early diagnosis in order to prevent potential complications.

Common Clinical Problem

Acute septic arthritis is a common clinical problem in emergency departments. Primary meningococcal arthritis (PMA) is very rare and few cases are reported in literature. D. B. M. consulted the emergency department for knee pain and fever; analysis showed that the cause was a Neisseria meningitidis type C infection. He received a treatment consisting of 2 arthroscopies and 5 weeks of antibiotics. At five weeks he returned to work and at 2 months he resumed sports (jogging and soccer) without complaints. Primary arthritis of the knee caused by Neisseria meningitidis is very rare. It has a very good response to antibiotics and arthroscopy procedure. Short-term follow-up and functional results are often good or excellent.
