Ureteritis cystica is a rare, benign, proliferative condition. We report the case of a 51-year-old female who complained of dysuria and frequency for the last 10 years. The symptoms, however, increased in severity and frequency over the past one year. Urine culture and sensitivity showed presence of Escherichia Coli which was sensitive to augmentin and ciproflaxocin. The urinary tract ultrasonography and intravenous urography revealed bladder diverticula with multiple small, smooth well defects with sharp borders that protruded into the lumen along the proximal and mid left ureter. This finding was later confirmed by retrograde pyelogram. She was treated and currently is on long term antibiotic therapy. The diagnostic features and management of ureteritis cystic is being discussed in detail.
Cysts of the adrenal gland are uncommon. We report a case of symptomatic pseudocyst of adrenal gland in an adult male, which was excised through retropertoneoscopic route. Surgery was uneventful and patient returned to pre-operative activity within seven days of operation. At ten months of follow up patient is asymptomatic and doing well.
The term Unicystic Ameloblastoma (UA) refers to those cystic lesions that show clinical and radiological characteristics of an odontogenic cyst but on histological examination show a typical ameloblastomatous epithelium lining part of the cyst cavity, with or without luminal and/or mural tumor growth. Till date, lot of controversies exist among oral surgeons and oral pathologists regarding this entity. An attempt is being made here to discuss all the diagnostic dilemmas associated with UA.
This article consists of two selected case reports of a recently named odontogenic tumour, unicystic ameloblastoma. The clinical and radiographic findings of the two cases mimic that of odontogenic cysts but not dentigerous cysts as in most reported, cases. Histologically, either a normal or ameloblastomatous cyst lining is evident. Other features of ameloblastoma are present within the cyst wall or as luminal nodules within the cystic space. A review of the literature indicates that this is a non-aggressive tumour with a low recurrence rate.
An unusual case of proximal migration of a Hakim's valve intracranially into a porencephalic cyst two years after insertion of the ventriculo-peritoneal shunt in a neonate is reported. The underlying cause is discussed. It is recommended that all shunt should be anchored with nonabsorbable suture material properly on to the pericranium.
