Role Of Renal Artery Embolization In Treatment Of Iatrogenic Renal Bleeding.

Objectives: To review institutional experience about the effectiveness and safety of percutaneous trans-arterial renal artery embolization in the treatment of iatrogenic renal bleeding.

Method: The prospective study was conducted from December 2019 to December 2021 at Ain Shams University Hospital and Kafrelsheikh University Hospital, Egypt, and comprised patients of either gender who underwent renal artery embolization for iatrogenic arterial renal bleeding caused by percutaneous nephrolithotomy, renal biopsy and percutaneous nephrostomy. Diagnostic renal angiography was done to detect pseudoaneurysm and arteriovenous fistula.

Magnetic resonance imaging markers of disability in Egyptian multiple sclerosis patients.

Background: The aim of this work was to identify the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) markers of disability in Egyptian multiple sclerosis (MS) patients.

Subjects And Methods: This retrospective observational study included 673 patients recruited from the registry of the MS unit at Ain Shams University hospitals. At the time when the MRI scans of the brain and spinal cord were done (with and without gadolinium enhancement), clinical disability was rated using the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) during the patient's first visit.

Tale of a wandering spleen: 1800 degree torsion with infarcted spleen and secondary involvement of liver.

Wandering spleen is a rare clinical entity characterized by splenic hypermobility resulting from laxity or maldevelopment of the suspensory splenic ligaments. The spleen can "wander" or migrate into various positions within the abdomen or pelvis due to this ligamentous laxity. It is usually detected between 20 and 40 years of age, and is more common in women.
