Scrotal kidney: a gross case of "nephroptosis".

We radiologically illustrate a case of nephroptosis in an 82-year-old male whose right kidney had progressively descended into the right hemiscrotum. This was detected upon a recent visit to the accident and emergency department (A&E) where a computed tomography (CT) scan demonstrated the right kidney within the scrotum with a degree of hydronephrosis yet a stable renal function. The patient was managed conservatively as per the multidisciplinary team (MDT) meeting advice.

Role of complementary Ct chest in patients presenting with acute abdominal symptoms during covid-19 pandemic: a UK experience.

Background: In March 2020, the UK Intercollegiate General Surgery Guidance on COVID-19 recommended that patients undergoing emergency abdominal CT should have a complementary CT chest for COVID-19 screening.

Purpose: To establish if complementary CT chest was performed as recommended, and if CT chest influenced surgical intervention decision. To assess detection rate of COVID-19 on CT and its correlation with RT-PCR swab results.
