Medullary sponge disease in horseshoe kidney.

We report on a patient with a combination of medullary sponge disease and horseshoe kidney. The coexistence of two uncommon conditions of the kidney in this case obscured the clinical picture, and the patient was perhaps subjected to unnecessary invasive tests to establish the diagnosis. Medullary sponge disease occasionally will present as hematuria, and the condition should be kept in mind as a differential diagnosis since it is almost always recognizable on intravenous urography.

Penetrating stab injuries of the chest and abdomen.

A retrospective review was carried out of 100 consecutive patients with penetrating stab injuries of the chest and/or abdomen, requiring admission to hospital. Laparotomies were performed in 44 patients, while a further 7 were subjected to thoracotomy. Only 1 patient died, and this was a case of combined thoraco-abdominal injury. There was an annual increase in the numbers of such injuries, which were particularly prevalent in young, unemployed persons, often under the influence of alcohol.

Abdominal tuberculosis.

In Britain abdominal tuberculosis is an uncommon condition and most cases come to laparotomy for diagnosis. A high index of suspicion is required in areas with a large immigrant population and in areas which are overcrowded and nutritionally deprived. Nine of 28 patients presented acutely and a wide variety of preoperative diagnoses were entertained. Most of the remainder had a long history of vague constitutional symptoms and laparotomy was required for diagnosis in all but 5. Histology proved the surest way of establishing the diagnosis.
