Pubosymphyseal Urinary Fistula Following Radiation Therapy of Bladder Sarcomatoid Tumor.

Pubosymphyseal urinary fistula (PUF) is a rare condition that involves an abnormal connection between the urinary bladder and the pubic bone. It can occur after trauma, radiation therapy, or surgery to the pelvis. It is also reported with chronic indwelling Foley catheter use.

A tale of two vulvar angiomyxomas: Two cases and review of literature.

Vulvar angiomyxomas are rare benign mesenchymal neoplasms. Superficial and Aggressive angiomyxomas are two distinct phenotypes that present similarly to other more common vulva-perineal pathologies. Albeit both angiomyxomas carry a risk of recurrence, especially in the setting of incomplete resection, simple excision is insufficient for Aggressive angiomyxoma.

Segmental Colitis Associated With Diverticulosis.

Segmental colitis associated with diverticulosis (SCAD) is a rare entity characterized by segmental circumferential colonic wall thickening involving the sigmoid and/or left colon in the presence of colonic diverticulosis. We present the case of a 57-year-old female with a past medical history of colonic diverticulosis who presented with chronic intermittent abdominal pain, non-bloody diarrhea, and hematochezia. Imaging revealed long-segment circumferential colonic wall thickening involving the sigmoid and distal descending colon with engorged vasa recta without significant inflammation around the colon or diverticula, consistent with SCAD.

The Prevalence of Internal Auditory Canal Diverticula Is Constant Over a Large Age Range Among Patients Not Imaged for Hearing Loss.

Objective: The objective of this study is to establish the prevalence of internal auditory canal diverticula spanning all age groups imaged for reasons other than hearing loss and to investigate changes in prevalence with age to determine if it is a finding that develops over time.

Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 1000 cervical spine computed tomographies obtained in patients age 0-99 years for presence of internal auditory canal diverticula.

Results: A total of 405 patients (208 men; 197 women) were included.
