endometriosis is the presence of benign endometrial glands and stroma outside the uterus. urinary system involvement by endometriosis is a rare occurrence accounting for only 1.5 % of all endometriosis cases. case 1. the patient was a 41 years old woman admitted for right flank pain. the physical and gynaecologic examination was unyielding. intravenous urography (ivu) revealed stenosis in dista...

Muscular subaortic stenosis (Wigle, Heimbecker, and Gunton, 1962) is one of the names used to describe functional ventricular obstruction which simulates aortic valve stenosis. Other workers (Brock, 1957, 1959; Teare, 1958; Morrow and Braunwald, 1959; Brent et al., 1960; Brockenbrough, Braunwald, and Morrow, 1961; Goodwin et al., 1960) have also emphasized the functional nature of the myocardia...

Background: Since the treatment of meconium ileus is very different from other types of intestinal obstruction, it is very important to distinguish these two entities. The aim of this study was to assess sonographic findings to differentiate meconium ileus from other types of obstruction. Methods: This study was performed in Dr. Sheikh and Akbar hospitals, Mashhad Medical University of Science...

context bowel obstruction is one of the most common causes of acute abdomen. because of heterogeneity of patients’ population and variety of causes, therapeutic strategies are not standardized, so treatment of intestinal obstruction is a surgical challenge in many cases. a traditional medicine approach could help detect some issues that were ignored by modern medicine. one of the major schools ...

the silent sinus syndrome (sss) involves painless facial asymmetry and enophthalmos, which is theresult of chronic maxillary sinus atelectasis. in most cases, it is diagnosed clinically, however, usingthe characteristic imaging features including maxillary sinus outlet obstruction, sinus opacification,and sinus volume loss caused by inward retraction of the sinus walls. obstruction of the maxil...

BACKGROUND Congenital nasolacrimal obstruction is usually the result of failure of canalisation of the distal end of the nasolacrimal duct. The most common outcome is spontaneous resolution, but some children do require surgical treatment by probing. Probing is a blind procedure with a recognised failure rate. METHODS In 52 lacrimal systems of 40 children nasal endoscopy was combined with a "...

Background/Purpose: Congenital duodenal obstruction is a frequent cause of intestinal obstruction in the newborn. The incomplete nature of the obstruction in duodenal stenosis results in a variable and often delayed presentation. It usually results in recurrent episodes of vomiting, aspiration, or failure to thrive. Some patients present in adulthood with gastroesophageal reflux, peptic ulcerat...

This article studies the global hypoellipticity of a class overdetermined systems pseudo-differential operators defined on torus. The main goal consists in establishing connections between system and its normal form. It is proved that an obstruction number-theoretical nature appears as necessary condition to hypoellipticity. Conversely, sufficiency approached by analyzing three types hypotheses...

Chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction results in clinical manifestations that resemble intestinal obstruction but in the absence of any physical obstructive process. Fabry disease is an X-linked lysosomal storage disease characterized by the dysfunction of multiple systems, including significant gastrointestinal involvement. We report the occurrence of chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction in t...
