Progressive vision loss as the initial symptom of Prostate Cancer.

Althought it may vary between countries, since the prostate specific antigen screening era, metastasic prostate cancer at diagnosis accounts for approximately 10% of cases. Intracranial dural metastases are uncommon, but when present they may lead to an increase in intracranial pressure that can subsequently damage intracranial structures, such as the cranial nerves. Prolonged intracranial hypertension can cause optic nerve ischemia, leading to progressive and irreversible vision loss if untreated, hence the importance of anamnesis, complete physical examination, and clinical suspicion.

Primary neuroendocrine prostate cancer with adrenal gland metastasis.

Primary neuroendocrine differentiation in prostate cancer occurs infrequently and represents a therapeutic challenge at present due to the poor prognosis involved. We present the case of a patient with de novo neuroendocrine prostate cancer who later developed metastases to adrenals bilaterally which were initially managed surgically.

Multiple bladder diverticula treated with robotic approach-assisted with cystoscopy.

A bladder diverticulum (BD) is a herniation of the bladder urothelium through the muscular bladder wall. As a result, BD presents as a thin walled bag, urine filled connected to bladder lumen through a neck or ostium. The clinical problem with bladder diverticula is their poorly empty during micturition which results in multiple lower urinary tract symptoms as well as recurrent urinary tract infections.

Incidence of Urethral Stricture in Patients With Spinal Cord Injury Treated With Clean Intermittent Self-Catheterization.

Objective: To report the incidence of urethral stricture and its management in patients with spinal cord injury treated with clean intermittent self-catheterization (CIC).

Materials And Methods: The clinical records of 333 patients with spinal cord injury treated with CIC since 2001 were identified, and those who developed a urethral stricture during their follow-up, including their treatment and results achieved, were analyzed.

Results: The patients had a median age at the time of injury of 27 years, of which only 14 patients (4.

Management of complicated urinary tract infections in a referral center in Mexico.

Background: Urinary tract infections are a common problem encountered by primary care, emergency physicians and urologists. A complicated urinary tract infection (CUTI) responds less effectively to the standard treatment. E.

[Efficacy and safety of vardenafil in patients with erectile dysfunction. Results of the Mexican Multicentric Study].

Unlabelled: The objective of the present study was to determine the efficacy and safety of a fixed dose of vardenafil in the treatment of patients with erectile dysfunction (ED).

Material And Methods: This was an open label, prospective and multicentric trial. After a 4-week wash out period, all patients received 20 mg of vardenafil given on demand for 12 weeks.
