PURPOSE We investigated whether suprarenal and infrarenal aortic angles change after the endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) procedure and during follow-up, and investigated the correlation between infrarenal aortic angle after EVAR and type Ia endoleaks. METHODS Data collected on 70 EVAR procedures for a fusiform infrarenal aortic aneurysm performed between May 2006 and December 2012 were su...

Pheochromocytoma (PCC) is a rare neuroendocrine catecholamine-secreting tumour of the adrenal gland. It originates from chromaffin cells found within medulla or extra-adrenal paraganglia. We present case report 24-year-old female who presented with hypertension, headache, palpitations, chest pain and blurry vision. On ultrasound evaluation, right suprarenal mass was noted, which further evaluat...

Neuroblastoma is a neoplasm of the peripheral sympathetic nervous system. Depending upon primary location tumor, it can present as incidental finding, hypertension, abdominal pain, and distention with nonspecific clinical signs. Our patient was four-months-old when he developed excessive crying, increased frequency micturition, loose bowel movements. On CT scan, cystic mass found in left suprar...

Teratoma is a germ-cell tumor that commonly affects the gonads. Extragondal teratoma is a rare entity. Teratoma in the region of adrenal gland is a rare and uncommon retroperitoneal tumor; only few cases have been reported. This case report describes such a tumor in a 40-year-old-woman who presented with multiple vague complaints. Ultrasonography of the abdomen showed a mixed echogenic mass wit...

The kidneys and suprarenal cortex are of common embryonic origin. The suprarenal gland and kidney have a common pathway in angiogenesis. Each of the organs is of key importance for intrauterine and individual development, yet they vary greatly in growth dynamics throughout pregnancy. The authors compared the arterial supply of these organs quantitatively in respect to foetal age and sex.

In spite of the widespread use of obstetrical sonography, the prenatal detection of presumed adrenal hemorrhage remains extremely unPathologic proof is ~ a r e . ~ , ~ Several authors have noted adrenal calcifications at birth and have speculated that they represent the sequelae of prenatal adrenal hemorrhage. However, without pathologic proof, differentiation from spontaneously resolved neurob...

A male in his late teens presented with sudden onset left-sided hemiparesis and right-sided facial weakness. The patient had a history of persistent pulsatile headache for 1 year the blurring vision. He also diaphoresis palpitations. was diagnosed as case hypertension back. On examination, Right-sided upper motor neuron type palsy present, power 0/5 left lower limbs; BP 220/120 mm Hg controlled...

In earlier studies (1-3) we have observed that subcutaneous injections of suprarenal cortical extract affected the renal excretion of sodium, chloride and potassium in normal subjects and in normal dogs as well as in suprarenalectomized dogs and patients suffering from Addison's disease. With the isolation of steroid compounds from the suprarenal cortex (Kendall, and his coworkers, Reichstein, ...

1. In chloralose-anaesthetized dogs, central venous and arterial angiotensin (AII) levels were monitored by blood-bathed bioassay during venous haemorrhage of 20 ml/kg, acute renal ischaemia induced by suprarenal aortic stenosis and frusemide-induced diuresis. 2. Blockade of intrarenal dopamine receptors with ergometrine reduced markedly the increments in arterial AII associated with haemorrhag...
