A 77-year-old female presented to our facility with a fi ve-year history of progressive urinary bladder retention and voiding diffi culties. She underwent a pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination as a part of her lower urinary tract symptoms evaluation, and for treatment planning. MRI with a torso phased-array superfi cial coil was performed in a 1.5T magnetic fi eld equipment. We ...

PURPOSE Radical cystectomy and urinary diversion are the standard treatment for invasive bladder cancer. We analyzed the long-term (>10 years postoperatively) functional outcomes, complications, and urodynamic findings in a single center series of patients who underwent cystectomy and a Studer ileal neobladder substitution. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective chart review of 108 Studer pouc...

Acute renal failure due to bilateral ureteral obstruction is a rare complication after appendectomy in children. We report a case of bilateral ureteric obstruction in a 14-year-old boy nine days after surgery for an acute appendicitis. After saline-filling of the urinary bladder, transabdominal ultrasound demonstrated bilateral hydronephrosis of moderate degree. No abscess was found with CT but...

Normal bladder function depends on the complex interaction of sensory and motor pathways. Bladder dysfunction can develop as a result of several neurological conditions. It can happen in a number of ways, including diabetic cystopathy, detrusor overactivity, bladder outlet obstruction, and urge and stress urinary incontinence. Diabetic neuropathy is the most common cause of peripheral neuropath...

Neurourology is applicable to urinary incontinence and obstructive uropathy in the general population. In most neurogenic conditions, incontinence is related to a loss of coordination of the bladder with the urethral sphincter mechanism. This article discusses possible causes and risk factors for stress incontinence and gives several clinical examples of patients with incontinence of varying ca...

Bladder rupture is rare during infancy and most of reported cases had urethral obstruction or neurogenic bladder. We report two cases of infantile bladder rupture during voiding cystourethrography (VCUG). This report reinforces the criteria for proper VCUG imaging procedure. Consideration of expected bladder volume for body weight, and close monitoring of bladder pressure and injection speed co...
