Two methodologies of the rendezvous procedure to establish ureteral continuity from a delayed ureteral leak following pelvic surgery.

Background: Ureteral trauma recognized in the operating theater is managed, for the most part, at the same surgical procedure oftentimes with urologic consultation. A delayed urine leak presents unique problems in that direct access to the site of the leak is not possible except by a reoperative procedure.

Methods: In patients who develop delayed urine leakage following cancer surgery, the leakage may be controlled by the collaborative efforts of a urologist and interventional radiologist.

Isolated cortical venous thrombosis after fetal demise.

Its vague, non-specific presentation makes it a difficult and challenging diagnosis that needs an extensive workup especially in young patients. Outcome and prognosis depend mainly on early diagnosis and treatment.
