RESUMO
Diaphragmatic injuries are relatively rare and result from either blunt or penetrating trauma. Regardless of mechanism, seemingly innocent penetrating injuries may be long forgotten by the patient and are the most commonly missed diaphragmatic injury. Diagnosis is often missed and high index of suspicion is vital. The clinical signs associated with a diaphragmatic hernia can range from no outward signs to immediately life-threatening respiratory compromise. We report an unusual case of diaphragmatic hernia presenting as empyema thorax after suffering from penetrating injury.
RESUMO
Ureterocele, a rare condition, is a congenital saccular dilation of terminal portion of the ureter. Presented here is a case report of a patient who had complaints of recurrent urinary tract infection and right loin pain. The ultrasonography followed by intravenous pyelography proved it to be the case of ureterocele.
