Background: To compare transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS) and TRUS-guided seminal vesicle aspiration in the diagnosis of ejaculatory duct obstruction (EDO). comparing the findings of TRUS and TRUS-guided seminal vesicle (SV) aspiration. Materials and Methods: Design: A retrospective case-controlled study comparing the findings of TRUS and TRUS-guided seminal vesicle (SV) aspiration. Setting: Cl...

Fascioliasis is a health problem in several countries including the Islamic Republic of Iran.  In a review of the medical publications during 1990-2002, only 22 cases of biliary tract obstruction by fasciola hepatica have been reported.  Herein, we are adding a new case of fasciola hepatica causing bile duct obstruction and presenting with intermittent colicky pain, eosinophilia and bile duct d...

Abstract Background Zinner's syndrome is a mesonephric duct anomaly characterized by unilateral renal agenesis, ipsilateral seminal vesicle cyst, and ejaculatory obstruction due to insult occurred at urogenital tract embryogenesis during the first trimester. In third fourth decades of life, it frequently diagnosed when patients begin be symptomatic, such as lower urinary symptoms, infertility p...

Introduction: This study was done to determine the site of obstruction in lacrimal drainage system in Asian patients suffering from epiphora and to determine the transit time taken for the tracer material to reach the lacrimal sac and the nasal cavity. Methods:Dacryoscintigraphy was performed using radionuclide technetium-99m pertechnetate (99m...

This study was carried out on 25 patients with azoospermia and normal serum FSH levels signifying obstruction as its cause. To determine the site of obstruction semen transferrin levels, carnitine and fructose were estimated. Patients with an obstruction at the testis epididymal junction had low levels of transferrin but normal levels of carnitine and fructose. Patients who had lower levels of ...

OBJECTIVE To present the spectrum of abnormalities found at endorectal magnetic resonance imaging (E-MRI), in patients with persistent hemospermia. MATERIALS AND METHODS A review of E-MRI findings observed in 86 patients with persistent hemospermia was performed and results compared with those reported in the literature. Follow-up was possible in 37 of 86 (43%) patients with hemospermia. RE...

Background: To report a rare case of a left ejaculatory duct that allotropically protrudes or invades towards the left vesicle triangular area with its dead end. Materials and Methods: The patient simultaneously exhibited multiple congenital malformations of the homolateral urogenital system, such as the absence of a left kidney, the dysplasia and allotopia of the left seminal vesicle, the abse...

Species of Tethionea Pascoe, 1869, Callidiopini, in the collection Museum Zoologicum Bogoriense are reviewed. Two new species genus described, T. peggieae sp. nov. and oculata nov., both from Papua Province, Indonesia. In addition, unicolor strumosa Pascoe tridentata redescribed. Their male genitalia documented illustrated detail. particular, ejaculatory duct complexes endophalli carefully obse...

Background: To explore the prevalence of lacrimal duct obstruction in patients with infectious keratitis, and the necessity of lacrimal duct dredge in the treatment of human infectious keratitis. Methodology/Principle Findings: The design is prospective, non-control case series. Thirty-one eyes from twenty-eight continuous patients with infectious keratitis were included in this study. The pres...

INTRODUCTION Acquired nasolacrimal duct obstruction is a common disorder affecting adults. Its pathogenesis is not known. We hypothesize that facial and bony asymmetry can contribute to the unilaterality of the nasolacrimal duct obstruction. MATERIALS AND METHODS Retrospective study was done on all patients with acquired nasolacrimal duct obstruction who presented to our practice from January...
