ABSTRACT

In our current practice, the use of JJ probes has become extremely frequent. However, incrustation and fragmentation of JJ leads are still relatively common and sometimes complicate removal. A 61-year-old woman with a history of hysterectomy ten years ago, she had a double J endo-ureteral stent for preoperative identification of the right ureter. The patient has forgotten the double J stent. She currently has right lower back pain and urinary tract symptoms of urinary. Uroscan revealed a very important right hydronephrosis, a fully calcified right double J stent with a calcification of 6 cm at the level of the lower loop. She had, at first, a cystotomy allowing the extraction of the lower part of the calcified stent and secondly a pyelotomy to extract the rest of the double J stent. The operative follow-up was simple. The use of a double J probe to divert the urinary tract is an effective and generally well tolerated technique. Regular monitoring prevents complications.

ABSTRACT

Renal abscess is a medical and surgical urological emergency whose diagnosis has been improved by modern imaging. It often poses a problem of therapeutic management between antibiotic therapy or the association of a drainage. Most abscesses are unilateral, the bilateral nature of the abscessed lesions suggests a hematogenous diffusion. We report a case of a bilateral renal abscess fusing to the psoas muscle on the right that progressed well with antibiotic treatment and percutaneous drainage.

ABSTRACT

Schwannoma is a benign nerve tumor composed of cells of the schwann nerve sheath. Only about twenty cases have been reported in the literature to our knowledge. We report an isolated case of schwannoma of the penis in a 56-year-old man who presented a nodule of the penis in the balanopreputial groove that had been progressively increasing in size for three years. Anatomopathological and immunohistochemical criteria allowed for a positive diagnosis. Treatment consisted of surgical excision followed by rigorous surveillance.

ABSTRACT

Urogenital tuberculosis remains a frequent disease in our country. It is the most common extra-pulmonary location. Prostatic involvement is extremely rare. We report the observation of a prostatic lithiasis complicating a granulomatous prostatitis of tuberculous origin, revealed essentially by obstructive and storage lower urinary tract symptoms. The diagnosis was suspected on imaging and clinical findings and confirmed by histology. Treatment consisted of endoscopic resection of the prostate associated with endoscopic ballistic lithotripsy. Prostatic lithiasis is a rare condition with a poorly elucidated ethiopathogeny. The origin of tuberculosis should be evoked in front of this affection.

ABSTRACT

Urogenital tuberculosis is little suspected and known by clinicians. Colorenal fistulas, although rare, are complex forms of renal tuberculosis occurring in patients with advanced-stage disease. They generally occur in the ascending and descending colon. We here report the clinical case of a 58-year-old female patient presenting to the Emergency Department with severe acute left pyelonephritis. Abdominal CT scan objectified left pyonephrosis with left colorenal fistula. The patient had poor clinical, biological outcome despite resuscitation measures and antibiotic treatments. Urgent left nephrectomy was performed with disconnection and drainage of colorenal fistula. Histology showed renal tuberculosis. The patient received antibacillary drugs according to 2ERHZ/4RH guidelines. The treatment of this type of TB should be adequate to avoid recurrences that could be more complicated to manage.

ABSTRACT

Because of an increased hypercoagulable state, a significant proportion of COVID-19 patients develop various and extensive venous thromboembolic complications. We report the case of a young patient with a history of pneumopathy related to COVID-19 disease, in whom the diagnosis of thrombosis of a pampiniform plexus vein was made on color doppler ultrasound data. We adopted a conservative treatment with good clinical and radiological evolution. To our knowledge, this is the second association of venous thrombosis of the pampiniform plexus with COVID-19 disease.

ABSTRACT

Inguinal hernia is a common disorder that requires urgent and adequate surgical management. Multiple organs may be associated with inguinal hernias, but bladder involvement is rarely seen. The diagnosis is frequently done during surgery. It can be evoked before surgery when the patient presents with irritative and obstructive lower urinary tract symptoms. Retrograde urethrocystography or intravenous urography confirms the diagnosis. We report a case of inguinal hernia involving the bladder at the right side with a 72-year-old man. We performed a hernia repair after reintegration of the bladder.

ABSTRACT

Ureteral diverticulum is a rare urinary malformation and can frequently lead to urinary complications. It can be congenital, acquired or an abortive ureteral duplication. Most are treated conservatively. A surgical indication is made in case of symptomatic or complicated diverticulum. It can be congenital, acquired or an abortive ureteral duplication. Most of them are treated conservatively. A surgical indication is given in case of symptomatic or complicated diverticulum. and recurrent total hematuria. Radiological investigations confirmed the diagnosis of congenital ureteral diverticulum complicated with lithiasis.

ABSTRACT

The hydatid cyst is a parasitic pathology which is endemic in Tunisia and presents a public health problem.Hydatid cysts located in the retroperitoneum, especially around or in the kidney, are rare and only represent 5% of visceral locations. The kidney is the most commonly affected organ of the urinary tract.The psoas muscle is an uncommon location and not less than 70 cases have been cited. We report the Case of an unusual presentation of a right kidney hydatid cyst associated with a psoas muscle location. To our knowledge, this association of double retroperitoneal location has not been reported in the literature.

ABSTRACT

There is a well-established association between sarcoidosis and many solid and hematologic malignancies, but it is less commonly described in patients with renal cell carcinoma. The majority of the cases described presented local sarcoid-like reactions in the immediate vicinity of the tumor with comparatively few reports of the disease further away. In view of the relatively small number of cases, there remains great uncertainty about the clinical behavior of sarcoidosis in renal cell carcinoma. In this observation, we illustrate a case of mediastinopulmonary sarcoidosis, which behaved like a true paraneoplastic syndrome of a renal tumor.
