ABSTRACT
This is a report of a 32-year-old man who presented with dyspnea upon micturition. He was found to have hematuria. Pelvic ultrasound and CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis revealed a left bladder wall polyp confirmed by cystoscopy to be a submucosal pulsating mass. Plasma free metanephrines were elevated in favor of a bladder paraganlioma while urinary metanephrines, catecholamines and MIBG scan were normal. Patient was managed by partial cystectomy with disappearance of symptoms thereafter. Pathology showed a completely excised paraganglioma. The assessment, diagnosis and treatment are illustrated
ABSTRACT
During the last decade, technological advances for the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures have provided quick pain reduction and prevention of further damage, through repair of kyphotic deformity. This entity is the major cause of additional vertebral deterioration and even in some cases can end in death. The substantial pain relief, reinstatement without inertia stiffness and restoration of kyphotic deformities are the major parameters of a successfiul treatment. Kyphoplasty offers successful treatment of this pathology
