Intrathoracic Kidney

: Renal ectopy is a rare phenomenon, which its diagnosis may be delayed due to an asymptomatic condition. The ectopic kidney may even have a normal functional state; however, because of occurring kidney blockade, the risk for kidney stones and even failure may be raised. In many cases, the diagnosis is completely incidental and is based on the request of radiography and sometimes, CT scan even for other reasons. In the therapeutic approach, in cases of kidney blockage, or urine backing up to the kidney, the surgical intervention is highly recommended by excisional removing the mass. Herein, we described a case of ectopic intrathoracic kidney initially presented with mild respiratory distress that was ultimately diagnosed by CT scanning and removed surgically.

Diaphragmatic Herniation

Abdominal trauma is responsible for most genitourinary injuries. The incidence of renal artery injury and intrathoracic kidney is quite low in patients who present with blunt trauma experiencing damage. There are four defined etiologies for intrathoracic kidney, which include real intrathoracic ectopic kidney, eventration of the diaphragm, congenital diaphragmatic herniation, and traumatic diaphragmatic rupture. The traumatic intrathoracic kidney is an extremely rare case. We presented intrathoracic kidney case after traumatic posterior diaphragmatic rupture.

Contrast Enhanced

The mortality rate from descending necrotising mediastinitis (DNM) has declined since its first description in 1938. The decline in mortality has been attributed to earlier diagnosis by way of contrast-enhanced computed tomographic (CT) scanning and aggressive surgical intervention in the form of transthoracic drainage. We describe a case of DNM with involvement of anterior and posterior mediastinum down to the diaphragm, managed by cervicotomy and transverse cervical drainage with placement of corrugated drains and a pleural chest drain, with a delayed mediastinoscopy and mediastinal drain placement. We advocate a conservative approach with limited debridement and emphasis on drainage of infection in line with published case series.

Mediastinal Cysts

A case of bronchiogenic mediastinal cyst in an infant is presented, which was treated successfully surgically even though the cyst itself was not roentgenologically demonstrable preoperatively. The literature is reviewed. When the lesion has been demonstrable on x-ray, successful surgical intervention has been the rule. When the lesion has not been demonstrable on x-ray, procrastination and death have often occurred. Clinically this pathology will be manifested by periodic and usually progressive attacks of dyspnea, wheezing, stridor, and cyanosis—all aggravated by crying and feeding and ameliorated by oxygen therapy. Roentgenologic and endoscopic studies are mandatory, but even if negative, when these clinical findings are present, exploratory thoracotomy should be carried out.

Tumefactive Fibroinflammatory Lesion

AbstractObjective:A 65-year-old man presented with a nine-month history of swelling in the midline of the forehead. After surgical intervention, this lesion was found to be a tumefactive fibroinflammatory lesion of the frontal sinus. This case report and review aims to report this new location for tumefactive fibroinflammatory lesion, and to discuss whether, in retrospect, there would have been alternative options to surgery.Methods:Case report and literature review.Results:Tumefactive fibroinflammatory lesions are rare. Although cases in the sinonasal tract have been described, none involving the frontal sinus have previously been reported. A review of the literature suggests that these lesions have an association with other fibroinflammatory lesions, and may be amenable to systemic steroid therapy.Conclusion:Each case should be managed on its merits, and a biopsy taken followed by subsequent screening for associated fibroinflammatory lesions. In the case of an isolated lesion, a surgical approach is probably favoured in a patient suitable for general anaesthesia.
