The paper is aimed at presenting several patients treated at the CCS Institute of Urology and Nephrology using the retrospective analysis, in whom differentiation of the kidney tumor change nature and size smaller than 3 cm were decisive for further treatment. Similar cases were not reported or were reported exceptionally rarely in the literature. The diagnosis was established based on ultrasound examination, intravenous urography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging as well as angiography, percutaneous biopsy and pathohistological analysis of the surgical preparation.

Musculoskeletal Anatomy

This study characterized the normal musculoskeletal anatomy of the cervical segment of the spine of dogs by means of B-mode ultrasonography. The objective was to establish the role of B-mode ultrasonography for the anatomical evaluation of the cervical spine segment in dogs, by comparing the ultrasonographic findings with images by computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. The ultrasound examination, in transverse and median sagittal sections, allowed to identify a part of the epaxial cervical musculature, the bone surface of the cervical vertebrae and parts of the spinal cord through restricted areas with natural acoustic windows, such as between the atlanto-occipital joint, axis and atlas, and axis and the third cervical vertebra. The images, on transverse and sagittal planes, by low-field magnetic resonance imaging, were superior for the anatomical identification of the structures, due to higher contrast between the different tissues in this modality. Computed tomography showed superiority for bone detailing when compared with ultrasonography. As for magnetic resonance imaging, in addition to the muscles and cervical vertebrae, it is possible to identify the cerebrospinal fluid and differentiate between the nucleus pulposus and annulus fibrosus of the intervertebral discs. Although not the scope of this study, with knowledge of the ultrasonographic anatomy of this region, it is believed that some lesions can be identified, yet in a limited manner, when compared with the information obtained mainly with magnetic resonance imaging. The ultrasound examination presented lower morphology diagnostic value compared with the other modalities.

Abdominal Girth

A male patient with spina bifida and paraplegia, born in 1968, underwent urostomy in 1973. In 1999, he developed urine infections. Intravenous urography showed bilateral hydronephrosis and hydroureter. This patient continued to get recurrent urine infections. In 2009, computed tomography of the abdomen revealed dilatation of the ureters, but the ureters reverted to normal calibre as they passed forward through the anterior abdominal wall. The vas deferens on either side was crossing and kinking the ureter. Magnetic resonance imaging of the abdomen confirmed that the level of obstruction in both ureters was at the site where the vas deferens crossed the ureter and kinked it. While performing urostomy, the ureters below the crossover by the vas deferens were detached from the bladder and attached to the skin for urinary diversion, thus causing the vas deferens to hook the lower end of the ureters. As the patient gained height and weight, thereby increasing abdominal girth, kinking of the ureters by the vas deferens was accentuated. In hindsight, bilateral midline cutaneous urostomy using the ureters below the crossover by the vas deferens represents a poor surgical technique for urinary diversion.

AbstractIsolated sphenoid sinus opacifications (ISSOs) are clinically important because they can lead to serious complications. However, some patients with ISSOs are asymptomatic, and not all patients are properly referred to the otolaryngology department. Because past studies of ISSOs focused only on patients who received treatment, in this study we selected ISSO cases based on radiology reports, then determined whether these patients had symptoms and were appropriately referred for specialty care. We conducted a retrospective analysis of data collected from patients who underwent computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging from January 2007 to March 2017 at Osaka General Medical Center. We searched for the terms “sphenoid” or “sphenoidal” using F-REPORT to identify patients who had a sphenoid disease. We checked all selected images and diagnosed ISSOs. Examination of 1115 cases revealed 223 cases of ISSOs, of whom 167 (74.9%) were asymptomatic. We categorized patients with ISSOs into four groups: inflammation, mucocele, fungal diseases, and unclassifiable; the final category was used when edges were irregular or complete opacity was encountered. In the unclassifiable group, the majority of cases required otolaryngology consultation, but 37 of 47 unclassifiable patients did not have an otolaryngology visit. ISSOs are often identified by chance on imaging tests performed by non-otolaryngologists. However, our study revealed that many patients with ISSOs who should be treated by otolaryngologists were not referred to the otolaryngology department. Accordingly, it is important to promote awareness of the disease among other types of clinicians.
