Background: Interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) is a chronic and painful bladder-related disorder which characterized by urinary symptoms. It divided into 2 varieties based on morphological findings i.e. presence of Hunner’s lesion (HL) or no (NHL). can cause other problems like cognitive, behavioural, emotional sexual Grading done Copenhagen classification following treatment ...

Bladder exstrophy is a very rare congenital disorder, in which the first stage of reconstruction is usually performed within the first 72 hours of life. The most feared form of failure of the reconstruction is postoperative dehiscence of the bladder and abdominal wall. We present an 11-year-old girl with bladder exstrophy. She underwent three iliac bone supra-acetabular osteotomies with repair ...

Approximately 1 million people in the United States suffer from interstitial cystitis, a chronic painful urinary bladder disorder characterized by thinning or ulceration of the bladder epithelial lining; its etiology is unknown. We have identified a glycosylated frizzled-related peptide inhibitor of cell proliferation that is secreted specifically by bladder epithelial cells from patients with ...

In spite of its inaccessibility, every conceivable object has been inserted into the urinary bladder. Such patients may have a psychiatric disorder with a sexual perversion or inquisitiveness (as in children) as the underlying cause. We report a case of an aluminum rod inserted into the urinary bladder by an adult male, which was removed successfully by surgery.

A variety of foreign bodies have been described in the urinary bladder. These bodies are usually found in patients who have a psychiatric disorder with a sexual perversion or inquisitiveness (as in children) as the underlying cause. We report a case of Indian grass inserted into the urinary bladder by an adult male that was detected on sonography and subsequently removed successfully via surgery.

The definition of interstitial cystitis (IC) has evolved over the years from being a well-defined entity characterized by diagnostic lesion (Hunner's ulcer) in the urothelium to a clinical diagnosis by exclusion (painful bladder syndrome (PBS). Although the etiology is unknown, a central theme has been an association with increased permeability of the bladder. This article reviews the evidence ...

Myeloid sarcoma of the urinary bladder is a rare disorder. We report a 71-year-old man with hematuria who had a diffuse myeloid sarcoma of the bladder. He was also under follow-up for unclassified myeloproliferative/myelodysplastic disorder, diagnosed two months before. Abdominal ultrasonography and computed tomography findings were normal. Diagnostic cystoscopy revealed patchy areas of mucosal...

This review article introduces the new concept of vascular incontinence, a disorder of bladder control resulting from cerebral white matter disease (WMD). The concept is based on the original observation in 1999 of a correlation between the severity of leukoareosis or WMD, urinary symptoms, gait disorder and cognitive impairment. Over the last 20 years, the realization that WMD is not a benign ...

Interstitial cystitis (IC)/painful bladder syndrome (PBS) is a functional visceral disorder characterized by increased bladder activity and chronic pelvic pain in the absence of a pathobiological condition. Enhanced sensory transduction of peripheral bladder afferents is hypothesized to contribute to the pain and mechanical hypersensitivity of IC/PBS patients. The aim of this thesis is to test ...

cutis laxa (cl) is a rare congenital and acquired disorder characterized by loose and redundant skin with reduced elasticity. three types of congenital cutis laxa have been recognized. other findings are pulmonary emphysema, bronchiectasia, hernia and diverticulosis. we describe a female neonate involved by cutis laxa syndrome and a positive family history. we focus on the radiologic findings o...
