[Simultaneous embolization of a large arteriovenous fistula and a renal pseudoaneurysm].

The authors report the cases of a 41-year-old woman with a large arteriovenous fistula between a branch of the renal artery and the main renal vein in the renal hilum and a peripheral pseudoaneurysm secondary to a knife wound to the kidney. These lesions were successfully treated by embolization. In the light of this case, the authors illustrate the possibility of performing more than one embolization on the same kidney and emphasize the successful embolization of a large, high-flow arteriovenous fistula.

[Conservative management of Corynebacterium urealyticum encrusted cystitis].

The authors report the case of a 75-year-old patient who developed Corynebacterium urealyticum encrusted cystitis six months after open prostatectomy, complicated by vesicocutaneous fistula, which required bladder catheterization for several days. Encrustation of the bladder wall induced marked bilateral ureteropyelocaliceal dilatation without renal failure. Medical treatment by antibiotic therapy and oral acidification of the urine allowed regression of the plaques and resolution of the dilatation.

[Bladder leiomyoma treated by transurethral endoscopic resection].

We report a case of intravesical bladder leiomyoma in a 47-year-old patient presenting with recurrent macroscopic haematuria. The diagnosis was strongly suspected on CT and cystoscopy. Treatment consisted of transurethral resection of the mass. No recurrence has been observed with a follow-up of two years. In the light of this case, the authors discuss the diagnosis and treatment of bladder leiomyoma.
