Ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) is a congenital or acquired functionally significant impairment of urinary transport from the renal pelvis to the ureter. Congenital UPJO typically results from intrinsic disease such as the presence of an aperistaltic segment of the ureter, aberrant vessels or kidney abnormalities. Rare conditions can sometimes mimic an UPJO. We present a case of an 86-year-old woman with a UPJO diagnosed on CT. The patient was counseled on treatment options and elected to undergo a left uretherorenoscopy (URS) plus left laparoscopic pyeloplasty. The definitive histopathologic diagnosis was perinephric myxoid pseudotumor of fat, an extremely rare neoplasm, mass-forming. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first known case of a pseudotumor of fat causing UPJO. 6-month follow-up showed neither recurrence nor residual UPJO. We describe a rare presentation of extrinsic perinephric myxoid pseudotumor of fat causing UPJ obstruction. In elderly patients with no history of malignancy, UPJ obstruction can occur because of atypical masses.

Perinephric myxoid pseudotumor of fat (PMPF) is a recently described and rare retroperitoneal mass-forming lesion whose clinical significance chiefly involves mimicry of a variety of soft tissue tumors. For unknown reasons, it commonly occurs in male patients with underlying non-neoplastic renal diseases and/or type 2 diabetes (DMT2). A total of 55 cases have been reported in the literature.

Purpose: To better characterise the effects of corticosteroids on the course of pure idiopathic orbital inflammation syndrome (pIOIS).
Methods: This was a national, multicentre, prospective, non-interventional cohort study (). Among the 35 patients with histologically proven orbital inflammation who had previously been studied for their IgG4 immunostaining status, we selected those with a negative IgG4 status (ie, pIOIS) who received corticosteroids as single first-line treatment.
A Rare Case of Adult-Onset Bilateral Nonspecific Orbital Inflammation (NSOI) With Concomitant Unilateral Third Cranial Nerve Palsy.

Ophthalmology, Lehigh Valley Health Network, Allentown, USA.
Nonspecific orbital inflammation (NSOI), also known as orbital pseudotumor, is a condition characterized by inflammation in the tissues around the eye socket (orbit) without a clearly identifiable cause. This inflammatory disorder can affect various structures within the orbit, including muscles, fat, and connective tissues, leading to symptoms such as pain, swelling, and changes in vision. A 74-year-old man with a history of previous orbital trauma presented with acute-onset head and orbital pain, followed by restricted left eye movements in all directions, left ptosis, and a dilated left pupil.

Optic nerve sheath meningocele is an enlargement of the sheath itself, consisting of a collection of cerebrospinal fluid along the perineural space. It should be considered primary if it is not associated with orbital-cerebral neoplasm or with cranio-orbital junction malformations. We report three cases of bilateral primary idiopathic optic nerve sheath meningocele, two of them with gradual vision loss.

Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is the best surgical approach for treating advanced hip degeneration, providing pain relief, and improved function in most cases. In the past, MR imaging quality has been highly compromised by in-plane distortions, inadequate fat saturation, and other artifacts due to metal components of THA. Technological advancements have made pathologic conditions, which were previously hidden by periprosthetic artifacts, outstanding features due to the optimization of several sequences.
