Chyluria is rare. The parasite that causes filariasis is the most common cause while the non-parasitic causes is anecdotal. Medical treatment is often insufficient to treat cases of chronic chyluria for which the standard treatment is surgical lymphatic disconnection renovascular. However, sclerotherapy by instillation of a sclerosing agent kidney may represent an alternative to surgery. This technique has the advantage of being less invasive than surgery and has a proven efficacy in the literature.

Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to compare the safety and effectiveness of transluminal foam sclerotherapy combined with endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) against EVLA alone for treating small saphenous vein incompetence, focusing on changes in the venous clinical severity score (VCSS) over one year.
- - Researchers conducted the study by using a sheath for foam sclerotherapy during the EVLA procedure, assessing various outcomes such as VCSS changes, reflux recurrence, and complications at multiple time points after treatment.
- - Results indicated that while the change in VCSS wasn't significantly impactful, the combination treatment (TLFS + EVLA) led to lower rates of residual or recurrent reflux compared to EVLA alone, suggesting TLFS

Venous malformation (VM) stands as the most prevalent form of vascular malformation, characterized by its diverse morphology. These lesions can manifest in any part of the body, affecting different tissue planes and giving rise to symptoms such as pain, swelling, or physical dysfunction. In the realm of treatment, direct puncture VM sclerotherapy holds its place as the primary approach.

A 76-year-old woman was diagnosed with invasive bladder cancer and underwent cystectomy, bilateral external iliac, internal iliac and obturator lymph node dissection, and bilateral cutaneous ureterostomy. Pathological findings showed no lymph node metastasis ; however, the patient had lower abdominal pain and fever from the 14th postoperative day, and computed tomography (CT) revealed fluid retention in the pelvis. Retrograde pyelography showed no leakage from the urinary tract, and a drain was placed after percutaneous puncture of the pelvic cavity.

Portal vein stenting is a treatment option for portal hypertension caused by extrahepatic portal vein obstruction or stenosis. However, limited pathways to approach the portal vein are available, hindering re-intervention in the portal vein. Portal vein puncture through the transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt route is less invasive and considered suitable for portal vein stenting.

Left-sided portal hypertension (LSPH) causes varices and splenomegaly due to splenic vein issues. Colonic varices are rare and lack standardized treatment. We report the successful treatment of colonic varices caused by LSPH, by addressing both the afferent and efferent veins.
