A 69-year-old man with lung cancer underwent 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/CT for staging. FDG PET/CT showed high uptakes in the prostate gland with calcification, and magnetic resonance imaging was recommended to check the prostatic malignancy. T2-weighted images revealed midline cystic lesion at the base to midgland level and cystic lesion in right apical per...

BACKGROUND Imaging of the kidneys and urinary tract has a significant and critical role for diagnosis of genitourinary system diseases. Although technological progress goes toward less invasive approaches, some of the current methods are still invasive and annoying. Voiding cystourethrography (VCUG) is the best and most accurate method for diagnosis and grading of vesicoureteral reflux. VCUG is...

We report a case of 63-years-old man with a chief complaint of urinary retention and urethral meatal bleeding due to straddle injury. Urological examination revealed proximal bulbous urethral disruption with 1 cm gap, and then cystostomy was placed. Afterwards, urethral disruption was treated by echo guided endoscopic urethroplasty. Transurethral resection of scar tissue was performed twice for...

BACKGROUND Radiation-induced rectovesical fistulas (RVFs) require the most demanding treatment. We presented a rare case of postradiation RVF in a woman repaired with ileum. CASE PRESENTATION A 49-year-old women was referred to our department for fecaluria and dysuria after radiation for cervical cancer. The voiding cystourethrography demonstrated a large RVF. A segment of ileum was separated...

The urachus is a tubular structure in intrauterine life and the failure of obliteration of its lumen can lead to various anomalies in post natal life namely; patent urachus, urachal sinus, urachal cyst or urachal diverticulim. These urachal anomalies may have symptomatic presentation such as watery umbilical discharge, swelling in the umbilical area or remain asymptomatic to be detected inciden...

In the 11 “Report on Carcinogens” of the United States National Toxicology Program [1], X-irradiation and ionizing irradiation were placed on the list of known human carcinogens. This fact caused at least some confusion in the United States and led to a statement by the Radiologic Society of North America. This discussion was set in motion by a report by Pierce and Preston in 2000 on “Radiation...

PURPOSE To evaluate the clinical usefulness of preoperative CT voiding cystourethrography (CT-VCUG) using 16-multidetector computed tomography for female urethral diverticula. MATERIALS AND METHODS Preoperative CT-VCUG was performed in 15 consecutive patients who underwent urethral diverticulectomy from May 2004 to December 2012. The result of preoperative cystourethroscopy and surgical findi...

PURPOSE We present the management of 17 cases of urethral diverticulum in our department. We describe the various clinical presentations of urethral diverticulum, which may mimic other pelvic floor disorders and result in diagnostic delay. MATERIALS AND METHODS We reviewed 17 cases of urethral diverticulum presented to the urogynaecology department between January 2006 and February 2011 retro...

DOI: 10.21276/sjams.2017.5.9.36 Abstract: The diagnosis and management of bladder outlet obstruction among postmenopausal patients is a complex process with various modalities available for its diagnosis. Cystourethroscopy is an important tool for the same and we intend to study if it is enough in the diagnosis of the presence and degree of bladder outlet obstruction in post-menopausal female p...
