Imaging Spectrum of Severe Urinary Tract Infection Complications Presenting as a Seminal Vesicle Abscess, Prostatic Abscess, and Renal Abscess in Uncontrolled Diabetes Mellitus: A Case Report.

Urinary tract infections are more common and severe, and they carry worse outcomes for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The infections are typically caused by resistant pathogens, leading to many complications. Various impairments in the immune system, poor metabolic control, and incomplete bladder emptying due to autonomic neuropathy may all contribute to the enhanced risk of urinary tract infections in these patients. We present an imaging spectrum of a severe urinary tract infection presenting as renal, prostatic, and seminal vesicle abscesses in a patient with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus.

An Aberrant Case of Large Submandibular Gland Sialolith With Obstructive Sialadenitis in a Young Female.

Sialolithiasis is a major cause of salivary gland dysfunction. Submandibular sialolithiasis with obstructive sialadenitis is a relatively uncommon condition. Submandibular gland sialolithiasis with obstructive sialadenitis accounts for about 2% of all cases of sialadenitis. We are reporting a case of a 20-year-old female who presented with acute-onset swelling in the right submandibular region. The submandibular gland had a large calculus with pericalcular abscess development, which was clearly visible on pre- and post-contrast computed tomography. Subsequently, surgical excision of the lesion was performed, and calculus was removed.
