Urolithiasis in Russia still occupies one of the leading places in the total number of urological nosologies. Acute and chronic calculous pyelonephritis is the most severe complication of urolithiasis, causing destructive kidney damage in the form of apostematous pyelonephritis, abscess, kidney carbuncle and pionephrosis. In the case of acute obstruction of the urinary tract by concretion, purulent kidney damage occurs in a very short period of time and the result of treatment in this case depends on the adequacy and speed of the choice of the method of drainage of the urinary tract, that is, the elimination of their obstruction, as well as the correct choice of rational antibacterial therapy. The article presents three clinical observations of effective treatment of patients with chronic calculous pyelonephritis with Phytolysin paste and Phytosilin capsules as part of complex therapy.

Department of General and Clinical Pathology, Forensic Medicine and Deontology, Dr. Marko Markov Specialized Hospital for Treatment of Oncological Diseases, Varna, BGR.
Article Synopsis
- Wilson's disease (WD) is a genetic disorder caused by mutations in the ATP7B gene, leading to harmful copper accumulation in various organs and potentially causing organ failure.
- A case study of a 15-year-old boy highlights how undiagnosed and untreated WD resulted in severe liver damage and various complications, ultimately leading to his death.
- Genetic testing confirmed the diagnosis of WD and revealed that he had a homozygous H1069Q mutation, supporting the clinical findings from his autopsy.

- A young female patient experienced recurrent cholecystitis and had a history of jaundice due to gallstones, leading to a required elective surgery after her initial admission.

Unaccounted Gallbladder.

General Surgery, Motilal Nehru Medical College, Prayagraj, IND.
Article Synopsis
- Gallbladder agenesis is a rare condition where the gallbladder is absent, often going unnoticed until autopsy; most cases are asymptomatic.
- A 32-year-old male experienced intermittent epigastric pain, leading to surgery for suspected chronic cholecystitis, but no gallbladder was found during the procedure.
- Surgeons need to be aware of gallbladder agenesis, as standard imaging may not reveal its absence, and misdiagnosis can result in complications like bile duct injuries during surgery.
Mirizzi syndrome (MS) is an uncommon cause of gallstone disease caused by calculous cholecystitis resulting in extrinsic obstruction of the common bile duct, causing concurrent obstructive jaundice. An acalculous variant of MS, at times referred to as pseudo-MS, occurs even more rarely. We present the case of a patient who was found to have pseudo-MS complicated by several hepatic microabscesses.
