Nephrobronchial fistula and lung abscess resulting from nephrolithiasis and pyelonephritis.
There are multiple etiologies reported as causes of lung abscess; however, this differential rarely includes intra-abdominal abnormalities other than extension of a hepatic process. We describe a patient who was found to have a lung abscess and empyema resulting from the development of a nephrobronchial fistula secondary to nephrolithiasis and pyelonephritis. The patient had no urinary symptoms...
متن کاملMediastinal abscess resulting from dental infection.
A case of dental sepsis is presented which resulted in a deep neck infection and eventually caused a mediastinal abscess. The microbiology of such a mixed infection is briefly discussed with emphasis on the synergistic activity of the organisms. The anatomy of the fascial spaces is also described to draw attention to the possible routes of spread of this potentially life threatening condition.
متن کاملThoracic empyema and lung abscess resulting from gastropulmonary fistula as a complication of esophagectomy.
A benign fistula between the gastric tube and the airway resulting from esophagectomy is a rare complication, but it is a potentially life-threatening status. We present a 59-year-old man with thoracic empyema and lung abscess resulting from a benign gastric tube-to-pulmonary fistula caused by a penetration of the peptic ulcer in the gastric tube four years after an esophagectomy for esophageal...
متن کاملBilateral cavernous sinus thrombosis with septic lung lesions resulting from a nasal abscess
A febrile 38-year-old male presented with bilateral proptosis, motility dysfunction, and facial swelling (Fig. 1). The patient was recently treated for a nasal abscess and bacteremia, both positive for methicillin sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA). Visual acuity was 20/20 in each eye. Brain and orbit imaging revealed bilateral superior ophthalmic vein thromboses, cavernous sinus thromboses...
متن کاملFunctional associations of floret and inflorescence traits among grass species.
The aerodynamics of wind pollination selects for an intimate relation between form and function in anemophilous plants. Inflorescence architecture and floral morphology vary extensively within the Poaceae, but the functional implication of this variation remains largely unknown. Here we quantify associations between floret, culm, and inflorescence characteristics for 25 grass species in Kananas...
