Introduction: Ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) is associated with inadequate urine drainage from renal pelvis into ureter. UPJO results from incomplete recanalization of proximal ureter during fetal period which finally leads to hydrostatic distention of renal pelvis and calyces. Diagnosis is based on clinical symptoms, ultrasound, and diuretic isotopic renogram. Various surgical metho...

Objective: Ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) is a disease often diagnosed in childhood, but it can rarely be detected adults. Dismembered pyeloplasty the gold standard treatment method. In this study, we evaluated success of adult patients with UPJO. Material and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed data who underwent between January 2012 July 2021. Preoperative postoperative differenti...

BACKGROUND Prenatal hydronephrosis (PNH) is dilation in urinary collecting system and is the most frequent neonatal urinary tract abnormality with an incidence of 1% to 5% of all pregnancies. PNH is defined as anteroposterior diameter (APD) of renal pelvis ≥ 4 mm at gestational age (GA) of < 33 weeks and APD ≥ 7 mm at GA of ≥ 33 weeks to 2 months after birth. All patients need to be evaluated a...

the outcome and proper management of fetal hydronephrosis have not been completely defined. the purpose of this study was to determine incidence and outcome of infants with a history of prenatal hydronephrosis diagnosed by ultrasound. in a three-year period from 2000 to 2003 we identified 211 cases (271 renal units) of fetal hydronephrosis in which renal pelvic anteroposterior diameter was more...

OBJECTIVE To determine the threshold of the renal pelvic anteroposterior (AP) diameter that predicts normal postnatal renal outcome in the follow-up of cases with mild pyelectasis. METHODS A retrospective review of our sonography database was conducted over a 3-year period for cases of mild pyelectasis diagnosed between 18 and 30 weeks. Cases were evaluated for the association between differe...

The post partum pubic symphysis diastasis is an uncommon disease. It is resposible of acute pelvic pain. It increases when manual pressure is applied to the pelvis in a latero-lateral and antero-posterior direction. The diagnostic test for this condition is an anteroposterior X-ray of the pelvis. Here we present a case following spontaneous vaginal delivery. The conservative treatment is able t...

Background Fetal hydronephrosis is a common urinary tract anomaly that may result in renal parenchyma damage. Ultrasound is considered a simple, noninvasive procedure to diagnose and track antenatal hydronephrosis. Our aim was to study the clinical course of fetal hydronephrosis in fetuses. Materials and Methods</...

This study presents a novel method for automatic measurement of the anteroposterior diameter of the thyroid gland, in ultrasound images. Anteroposterior diameter is widely considered a basic parameter for goiter assessment. Goiter refers to abnormal enlargement of the thyroid gland and it is associated with iodine deficiency and various pathologic conditions including Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, a...

The patient is an 86-year-old male, who performed activities of daily living independently and a history of ischemic heart disease, chronic atrial fibrillation, diabetes mellitus type I and hypothyroidism. He consulted due to back pain and mechanical instability, without previous trauma. It was accompanied by a harmonic progressive kyphosis, reductible when upright and recumbent. The physical e...
