The function of an arteriovenous (av) fistula for haemodialysis may be complicated by manifestation of peripheral venous hypertension, which results from the arterial blood flow through the venous system into the periphery of the upper extremity. Its development is most typically caused by a proximal forearm av-fistula, as, in addition to the desirable arterialisation of the subcutaneous venous...

Renocutaneous fistulae may occur as a result of chronic infection, especially in the setting of calculous disease.1 Spontaneous renocutaneous is rare.2 Usually nephrocutanous fistula developed in patient with previous renal surgery, trauma, tumors, and chronic urinary tract infection with abscess formation. We report a case of spontaneous nephrocutaneous fistula. A 37-year-old women previously ...

Bacillary angiomatosis (BA) is an angioproliferative disease of immunocompromised patients that usually presents as vascular tumors in the skin and subcutaneous tissues. It is caused by chronic infections with either Bartonella henselae or B. quintana. Oral cavity BA is exceedingly rare and even rarer without simultaneous cutaneous disease. We report herein the case of a 51-year-old HIV-infecte...

Retroperitoneal chylous effusion after urological surgery is a rare and serious complication. Failure in treatment may result in cachexia, threatening the life of the patient. We present the treatment of two cases of postoperative chyloretroperitoneum with the use of somatostatin, octreotide and total parenteral nutrition. In Case 1, an 87-year-old man, a retroperitoneal lymphatic fistula occur...

Abstract. Introduction. Thanks to the use of renal replacement therapy at current stage medical development, full and social rehabilitation patients with end-stage chronic failure is possible. The key effective programmed hemodialysis formation adequate permanent vascular access. Ensuring optimal functioning access a multidisciplinary problem. Currently, none known options for ideal, but native...

A 46-year-old Caucasian male has been transferred to our urology department with a history of septic fever, uncompensated diabetes, pain, and scrotal swelling. On clinical examination, the left inguinal and scrotal area was swollen, tender, and painful; scrotal MR had been performed, showing the catheter tip in scrotal cavity and presence of gas. The case was diagnosed as scrotal abscess with u...

We present the first case reported in the medical literature of a patient with a spontaneous ventral urethral fistula accompanied by severe infection due to diabetes mellitus. A 34-year-old man with poor controlled adult-onset diabetes mellitus was admitted to our hospital with a large subcutaneous abscess involving the complete penis, scrotum and perineum. The patient did not report any histor...

A rare case of nephrococutaneous fistula due to spontaneous expulsion of renal calculi is described. A 45-year-old man presented with urinary leakage from an ulcer over the left lumbar region for the last 3 months after a history of spontaneous expulsion of stones from this area. Ultrasonography abdomen revealed a small contracted kidney with multiple calculi in the kidney and renal pelvis, sin...

AIM We describe the case of a 38 year old man, with a story of alcohol abuse, who developed a very painful nodular subcutaneous fat necrosis, fever and polyarthritis, denying any abdominal symptoms due to a pancreatic pseudocyst-inferior vena cava fistula. MATERIAL OF STUDY The authors discuss the unusual and protracted course with intermittent hyperamylasemia and hyperlipasemia related to cl...

Arteriovenous fistula is a rare complication of peripheral venous cannulation. We report a case of a 79-yearold male who presented with a subcutaneous swelling on the anterio-lateral aspect of his right forearm. The ‘lump’ developed at the same site as the insertion of a previous peripheral venous cannula. Careful clinical examination and later radiological confirmation diagnosed an arterioveno...
