Retrotendineus ureter is an exceptional anomaly presenting, in our experience, without clinical signs of urinary infection and obstruction. The radiological diagnosis was retrocaval ureter. The Authors report a case of a 9 years old boy who was successfully treated by ureteral section, excision of the obstructed ureteral segment and uretero-ureteral anastomosis. It seems that the case is the first reported in the medical literature of this anomaly.

Article Synopsis
  • Urinary tract infections (UTIs) in children are primarily caused by enterobacteria, but Streptococcus pneumoniae is a rare cause that can indicate underlying issues.
  • A case study focused on a 2-year-old girl with recurrent UTIs, renal malformations, and a detected UTI caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae demonstrated the importance of thorough imaging studies for such cases.
  • The findings highlight that UTIs from this atypical bacterium often correlate with serious renal-urological conditions, emphasizing the necessity for additional urinary tract evaluations in affected patients.

  • Chronic beryllium disease (CBD) is an interstitial lung condition caused by inhaling beryllium particles, and it can often be confused with sarcoidosis but has distinct characteristics and complications.
  • A case involving a 60-year-old man revealed multi-organ involvement, with his kidney issues stemming from CBD rather than typical pulmonary symptoms, which were relatively mild.
  • The report emphasizes the need for healthcare providers to consider CBD as a potential diagnosis in patients exhibiting granulomatous diseases, especially when they present with related respiratory issues, despite the absence of classical lung symptoms.

Background And Objectives: Most thermal energy-induced distal ureter injuries are missed intraoperatively as they are caused by delayed ischemia-induced necrosis of the affected part leading to fistula, and a delayed presentation. The injuries of the distal ureter are commonly managed by ureteroneocystostomy, which has long-term complications related to vesico-ureteric reflux (VUR). We present our experience of management of distal ureter injury due to thermal energy by laparoscopy ureteroureterostomy and the role of various methodologies for its diagnosis.
