Safety and efficacy of software-assisted MRI-TRUS fusion-guided transperineal prostate biopsy in an outpatient setting using local anaesthesia.

Purpose: To evaluate diagnostic accuracy, safety, and efficiency of an MRI-TRUS fusion-guided transperineal prostate biopsy method in an outpatient setting under local anaesthesia.

Methods: Patients undergoing transperineal prostate biopsy were included from March 2021 to May 2022. Biopsies were performed under local anaesthesia in an outpatient setting, using specialised fusion software.

Transperineal MRI-US Fusion-Guided Target Biopsy of the Prostate after Abdominoperineal Resection: A Case Report.

: MRI-US fusion-guided transperineal prostate biopsy can help sampling clinically relevant prostate cancer in patients with a history of abdominoperineal resection and is feasible under local anaesthesia and in an outpatient setting. Prostate cancer remains one of the most diagnosed cancers in men worldwide. Prostate biopsy in patients with a history of abdominoperineal resection poses a serious challenge since transrectal ultrasound is not possible.

Acquired Pancreatic Arteriovenous Malformation.

Pancreatic arteriovenous malformation is a rare vascular anomaly which may cause abdominal pain, acute pancreatitis, gastrointestinal bleeding and portal hypertension. Pancreatic arteriovenous malformation is mostly congenital; however secondary pancreatic arteriovenous malformation due to pancreatitis has been suggested by some authors. We encountered a case which can confirm this presumption.

Transcatheter embolization of an isolated lumbar arterial bleeding complicating radical nephrectomy for renal infarction with infected perirenal haematoma.

Lumbar arterial bleedings are rare but potentially life threatening. We report a case of an isolated right lumbar arterial bleeding after radical nephrectomy for renal infarction with infected perirenal haematoma. The diagnosis was suggested by computed tomography and confirmed with angiography.

CT and MRI appearance of mitochondrial encephalopathy.

A case is reported of a 20-year-old female presenting with confusion and progressive sensory aphasia. CT and MRI showed bilateral and symmetric acute necrosis of the basal ganglia and of the left temporal and occipital lobe, besides chronic spinocerebellar degeneration. The imaging findings suggested a mitochrondrial encephalopathy.
