We herein report a rare case of nontraumatic urethral rupture. The patient presented with oliguria, perineal pain and anorexia, and a 3 cm fistula was located in the perineum. Computed tomography revealed a retroperitoneal abscess invading the urethra, and a retrograde urethrogram revealed the rupture of the membranous urethra. He had no history of perineum trauma or transurethral procedures. Although he underwent a suprapubic cystostomy and conservative therapy by antibiotics, he eventually died.

The diagnosis of abusive head trauma (AbHT) in children is a challenging one that needs to be differentiated from natural disease and accidental head injury (AcHT). There is increasing evidence from the Neuroradiology field showing spinal cord injury in children subject to AbHT, which has, so far, been poorly investigated pathologically. In this study we retrospectively reviewed the forensic records of 110 paediatric head injury cases over an eight-year-period.

Necrotizing fasciitis is a potentially life-threatening infection that can lead to rapid muscular and fascial necrosis, often resulting in sepsis. In addition to the rapid disease progression, diagnosing this disease in children can be challenging as they cannot accurately communicate their symptoms. Spontaneous necrotizing fasciitis secondary to Clostridial infection has rarely been described in the literature but occurs in neutropenic patients with significant morbidity and mortality from myonecrosis and gas gangrene.

Spontaneous, non-traumatic bleeding into the subcapsular and perirenal space is a rare and potentially fatal condition known as Wunderlich syndrome (WS). It has a variety of causes including the usage of anticoagulation. Many anticoagulants including warfarin can interact with other medication and lead to potentially fatal complications, Herein, we report a case of a 47 year old female on warfarin who developed subcapsular renal hematoma and retroperitoneal hematoma after the completion of ciprofloxacin treatment course.
