Migration of a bladder diverticulum stone into the rectum revealing an advanced rectal process.

Rectovesical fistulas are rare and typically result from inflammatory or neoplastic conditions in the small pelvis. They occur within a pelvic region that has been altered by local inflammatory or neoplastic processes. This explains the challenges in detecting these fistulas using conventional imaging techniques, despite the effectiveness of CT and MRI.

Hepatic Metastasis Revealing a Melanoma of the Penis: Case Report.

Melanoma of the penis is a rare tumor with a poor prognosis. We report the case of a 73-year-old patient with no significant medical history, admitted for deterioration of the general condition and bilateral inguinal lymph nodes. An abdominal ultrasound and thoraco-abdomino-pelvic CT (computed tomography) scan revealed metastatic liver nodules, the tumoral nature of which was confirmed by an anatomopathological examination.

Cerebral Vasculitis Revealing Systemic Sarcoidosis: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Vasculitis in neurosarcoidosis is rare, with only a few cases reported in the literature. We report the clinical observation of a 51-year-old patient with no previous medical history, who was admitted to the emergency department due to sudden onset confusion, fever, sweating, weakness, and headaches. The first brain scan was normal, but a further biological exam with a lumbar puncture revealed lymphocytic meningitis.

Low-Grade Astrocytoma Causing Dural and Calvarial Destruction.

Most of the literature on intra-axial lesions causing calvarial and dural destruction comes from case reports for glioblastoma, lymphoma, metastasis, and aggressive meningioma. Destruction of dura and calvaria by low-grade gliomas is extremely uncommon; cases reported so far have been mostly oligodendrogliomas. This article describes the unusual case of a 23-year-old male patient with a left-sided intra and extracranial tumor involving the frontal lobe, destroying the overlying dura and calvaria, who underwent maximal safe resection.

Xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis on fusion of the planes of the liver.

Xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis (CXG) is a rare entity of cholecystitis, characterized by the presence of xanthogranulomas within the gallbladder wall, that could be misdiagnosed as a vesicular carcinoma. We report a case of 66-year-old man with xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis associated with an incidental finding of a fusion of the planes of the liver which is a rare anatomic variant. Imaging especially ultrasounds, CT scan, and MRI play a key role in the characterization of those anomaly, thus avoiding a non-suitable surgical procedure.

Left renal vein compression complicating intragastric balloon insertion.

Obesity is a real public health problem and is of growing concern. People are resorting to surgical or endoscopic means to fight against overweight and obesity. In recent years, there has been a marked increase in the use of these means and in particular the insertion of a gastric balloon which seems to present less risk than surgical methods.

Accessory spinal nerve damage during a cervical lymph node biopsy: case report.

The lesion of the accessory spinal nerve is often of iatrogenic origin. We report the case of an injury after a right jugulocarotid lymph node biopsy. A 30-year-old patient was referred for the treatment of right cervical lymphadenopathy suspected of tuberculosis.

[The contribution of multicut scanner use in arches and of the aortic arch anomalies in children].

Congenital malformations of the aortic arches are a heterogeneous group of diseases associated with developmental disorders of the primitive branchial arches during fetal life. The coarctation of the aorta is a common congenital vascular malformation which is a congenital narrowing of the aortic isthmus, a segment of the aorta between the left subclavian artery and the ductus arteriosus. The interruption of the aortic arch is considered by some authors as an extreme coarctation of the aorta, characterized by discontinuity between ascending and descending aorta.

[An exceptional malformative association: situs inversus totalis and retro-costo-xyphoidian hernia].

Retro-costo-xyphoidian hernia is a rare congenital malformation. It accounts for 3% of all the diaphragmatic hernias. It can be isolated or associated with other malformations.

Double aortic arch presenting with respiratory distress: A case report and review of the literature.

Tracheal compression by vascular structures in infants is uncommon and may be masked by nonspecific respiratory symptoms. Double aortic arch (DAA) is the most common vascular ring. We describe a case of a 9-month-old male infant presented with respiratory distress and found to have a DAA.

Successful surgical treatment of extrahepatic biliary papillomatosis diagnosed with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography: a case report.

Introduction: Biliary papillomatosis is a condition characterized by multiple papillary tumors of variable distribution and extent within the biliary tract. Papillary carcinoma can develop in these lesions. It is a rare biliary pathological entity and its clinical features and outcome are not well known.
