Urachal-sigmoid fistula associated with diverticular disease

Background: Urachal anomalies rarely present in adulthood. We report thesecond known case of urachal-sigmoid fistula associated with diverticulardisease.Method: We performed a case report and literature review. We searchedMEDLINE and PubMed using the search words “urachus,” “urachal fistula,”“sigmoid colon” and “diverticulosis.”Results: Our literature review revealed 1 previous report of urachal-sigmoidfistula associated with diverticular disease. We reviewed other publications withrespect to pathophysiology, diagnosis and management of urachal disease.Conclusion: Urachal disease that presents in an adult is usually the result of somecomplication of a urachal anomaly. Various modes of imaging may help confirmthe diagnosis, although CT sinography has been recommended and waskey in the present case. Management includes eradication of infection and, usually,surgical intervention.

Laparoscopic Removal

The extrauterine migration of an intrauterine device (IUD) can be life-threatening and may require emergent surgical intervention and treatment. A case report where an ectopic IUD located on sigmoid colon within peritoneal cavity in a 40-year-old multigravida was successfully removed by laparoscopy is described. Although the practicality and success of this method depends on the position and location of the ectopic IUD and on the extent to which the device is imbedded, this case suggests that removal of the migrated IUD from the peritoneal cavity is an additional possibility for use of the laparoscope.

Possible Cause

Introduction. Many factors have been indentified as a possible cause of rectal prolaps. Despite the fact that it is not a lifethreating condition, its clinical presentation varies, and sometimes it can present as an emergency. We presented a patient with prolapse of an unusually large segment of the rectosigmoid colon caused by chronic constipation, as an incarcerated segment repaired surgically. Case report. A 62-year-old female patient was referred to the Emergency Department in bad condition with severe pain in the perianal region. On examination a complete rectal prolaps as well as a part of sigmoid colon were found. Macroscopically, the prolapsed segment appeared edematous, livid, with ulcerations. An attempt to manually reduce prolapse failed, therefore resection of 50 cm of sigmoid colon with rectopexy had to be performed. No complications occurred and the patient was without symptoms six months later. Colonoscopy did not reveal any abnormality. Conclusion. Although the preoperative management and preparation of the patient was limited, emergancy surgical intervention for such a case was the strategy of choice due to magnitude of the prolapsing segment. It provided a successful and permenant solution.

Pneumosinus Dilatans

AbstractBackground:Pathological paranasal sinus expansion secondary to air is uncommon. However, this condition may be symptomatic or cosmetically apparent, requiring surgical intervention. Various terms have been used to describe this condition, and nomenclature is controversial.Method:An 18-year-old man presented with right facial pain, and was subsequently found to have pneumosinus dilatans of the maxillary sinus. A search was conducted of the PubMed, Medline and Embase databases, using the key words ‘pneumosinus dilatans’, ‘pneumoc(o)ele’, ‘pneumatoc(o)ele’ and ‘maxillary sinus’. Articles were also hand-searched. Relevant articles published in English were reviewed.Results:The literature review identified 36 cases involving the maxillary sinus (including the present case), with 19 cases reported as pneumosinus dilatans, 12 as pneumocoeles, two as pneumatocoeles, two as pneumosinus dilatans multiplex and one as an air cyst. However, based on the strict classification described by Urken et al., the majority of these cases should be reclassified as pneumocoeles.Conclusion:Whilst the nomenclature of this pathology is confusing, distinctions of terminology do not alter the management. Hence, we support the use of the term ‘air cyst’, to incorporate all these lesions.
