Spinal cord injury (SCI) results with paralysis but also with micturition dysfunction; therefore rehabilitation management and long-term follow-up include lower urinary tract care in order to prevent upper urinary tract pathology and complications. That comprises timely and standardized neurological and urological diagnostics and eliminatory techniques with intermittent catheterisation in major...

OBJECTIVES To develop the diagnostic criteria for benign and neoplastic conditions of the urinary tract using probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy (pCLE), a new technology for dynamic, in vivo imaging with micron-scale resolution. The suggested diagnostic criteria will formulate a guide for pCLE image interpretation in urology. METHODS Patients scheduled for transurethral resection of bl...

The authors illustrate through an observation of an aggressive and exceptional pleural evolution metastatic of a carcinoma urothelial of the upper urinary tract at the origin of an atypical radiological aspect and rarely described of pseudo-mesothelioma. In our case, the instillation with the BCG Pasteur by the percutaneous nephrostomy and the pleur X with the profit of a heavy chemotherapy ena...

UNLABELLED In this review, the clinical manifestations of urinary schistosomiasis are displayed from a pathogenetic perspective. According to the prevailing host's immune response profile, urinary schistosomiasis may be broadly categorized into cell-mediated and immune-complex-mediated disorders. The former, usually due to Schistosoma haematobium infection, are attributed to the formation of gr...

Urine represents a noninvasive source in which proteins and nucleic acids can be assessed. Such analytes may function as biomarkers to monitor kidney graft pathology at every desired frequency, thereby providing a time window to prevent graft damage by therapeutic intervention. Recently, several proteins have been measured in urine as markers of graft injury. However, the specificity is limited...

Pelvic lipomatosis is a rare disease by excessive proliferation of the mature fat in the pelvic extraperitoneal space. Cystitis cystica, often occurring concurrently with pelvic lipomatosis, is a rare proliferative inflammatory disease of the bladder. The diagnosis of pelvic lipomatosis is established on radiographic examination, not on pathology. We report a case of pelvic lipomatosis associat...

Urethral diverticulum is a rare pathology in male patients. It is most often encountered in patients with paraplegia due to iterative catheterizations. The diagnosis of a large diverticulum is easy to make when faced with clinical symptoms, such as: repeated urinary tract infections, perineal pain and especially when there is penile swelling. We report the case of a 24-year-old patient with par...

In our case, the history, clinical findings, negative biochemistry and CT and MIBG scans indicated that the lesion might be a non-catecholamine-secreting paraganglioma. The final diagnosis of a vascular malformation was unexpected but revealed an interesting differential diagnosis of a rare pathology. Retroperitoneal vascular malformations of the choledochus, kidney and pancreas have been descr...

ssen in the few pages, with illustrations devoted to the deformities and remedies for the conditions known as hare-lip and cleft palate. Part IV, Surgery, deals with affections of the abdominal wall and the peritoneum, the genito-urinary system, kidneys, prostates penis, testis, urethra, gallbladder, pancreas, and spleen. The sections on the gall-bladder and pancreas are wonderfully complete. T...

We report a case of sirenomelia sequence observed in an incident of preterm labor during the 29th gestational week. According to some authors, this syndrome should be classified separately from caudal regression syndrome and is likely to be the result of an abnormality taking place during the fourth gestational week, causing developmental abnormalities in the lower extremities, pelvis, genitali...
