Extrarenal pelvic hydronephrosis: report of five cases.

Five patients are reported with uretropelvic obstruction and hydronephrosis in which the renal pelvis is predominantly involved. Because of the extrarenal position of the pelvis in these patients, its dilatation is apt to cause distortion and displacement of the calyces and infundibulae simulating an intrarenal mass. Calyceal and infundibular dilatation is much less apparent and general renal outline and cortical thickness is better preserved in these patients than in those with classical hydronephrosis. Careful attention to radiographic technique including delayed films, ultrasonography and occasional arteriography should prevent any confusion with a solid mass lesion.

Traumatic perforation of the hypopharynx in infants.

Three cases of traumatic perforation and pseudodiverticulum of the hypopharynx in newborn infants are presented. This lesion may be encountered with increasing frequency as a result of the more aggressive management of newborn infants with respiratory distress. Early recognition of this complication is essential to successful therapy. Appropriate management includes local drainage, treatment with antibiotics, and use of a nasogastric tube or gastrostomy to provide a safe route for intestinal alimentation.

Traumatic para-mediastinal air cyst. A case report.

The roentgenographic features of a paramediastinal air cyst following chest trauma are reported. After an initial period of enlargement the lesion completely resolved in one month. Experience with this patient and a review of similar cases reported in the literature suggests that lesions of this type may be observed for spontaneous resolution.

Supralevator imperforate anus with unusual associated anomalies: colonic ureteral ectopy, intraluminal calcified meconium.

This case illustrates a complex of congenital ano-rectal and renal abnormalities not previously reported. Colonic ureteral ectopy, an extremely rare occurance, was also found in this patient and an explanation of the probable embryogenesis is proposed. The roentgen pattern of intraluminal calcified meconium is also illustrated.

Staphylococcal osteomyelitis, sepsis, and pulmonary disease. Observations of 10 patients with combined osseous and pulmonary infections.

The clinical and roentgenographic findings in 10 patients with combined staphylococcal infection fo the bones, joints, and lungs are reviewed. Chest roentgenograms early in the course of the illness suggested septic embolic disease, but in most cases the associated osseous infections were overlooked. Primary therapy, directed toward the sepsis and pulmonary complications, was often unsuccessful until the associated osteomyelitis was recognized and treated. The radiologist and clinician should recognize the roentgen pattern of septic pulmonary emboli and be alert to the possibility of associated skeletal infection. Surgical drainage is often necessary.
