Penile necrosis and calciphylaxis.

Penile necrosis is an uncommon condition associated, in most cases, with calciphylaxis, also known as calcific uremic arteriolopathy. It is a progressive disease found in approximately 1%-4% of patients with end stage renal disease. Patients with penile calciphylaxis present a mortality rate of up to 70%, with life expectancy of two-and a half months following the diagnosis.

Bladder and urethral duplication and a bladder exstrophy plate with omphalocele in a female child.

The Exstrophy - Epispadias Complex (EEC) is a spectrum of rare congenital malformations involving the urinary, genital and musculoskeletal systems. We present an atypical or variant case of EEC in which a bladder plate is found involving a small omphalocele, separated pubic bones and bladder and urethral duplication. The treatment had a favorable outcome, with bladder control and the child voiding normally.

Congenital bladder diverticula are rare and there are no previous reports showing them to have been found through an antenatal ultrasound exam revealing the presence of hydronephrosis.
