[Etiologic and diagnostic aspects of Peyronie's disease. Apropos of 42 cases].

The authors present the results from a retrospective study conducted on 42 patients with Peyronie's disease. For each case, all possible etiological factors were investigated, such as family history, history of trauma, history of other collagenoses, of diabetes, and so on. These studies yielded results comparable to published data. Calcifications within the plaques were found on simple X-ray films in 10.8% of cases. Out of 20 radiological examinations of the corpora cavernosa that were performed, 80% demonstrated pathological processes. It was possible, in some of the cases, to measure echographically the plaque widths, while autophotography was useful in a small number of cases. We were more particularly concerned with sexual dysfunction, impotence, and premature ejaculation, which could be observed in 14 patients.

Bone lithiasis or bone metaplasia?

A case in which bone has been found in the upper urinary tract is reported. Since the physiopathology and morphological characteristics of this tissue do not meet the requirements needed to be defined as a urolith, we believe this is a case of bone metaplasia and not urinary lithiasis.

[Study of bladder tumors using ultrasonics].

The authors used ultrasound to evaluate bladder tumours, both in their detection and in the assessment of their stage. 105 bladder tumours were studied in this way. Provided the tumour is larger than 1 cm, all of the bladder tumours can be discovered on a well performed ultrasound. This investigation also enables an evaluation of the morphology of the tumour, its base of implantation, its site and its size. All of these tumours were resected either via the transurethral approach or by cystectomy (19 cases), so that a comparison could be made between the histological findings and the ultrasound findings. Of the 55 stage I tumours, ultrasound had provided an accurate diagnosis in 48 cases (87.2%). 7 tumours were incorrectly classified as being T2; that is, over-estimated. Of the 22 patients with stage T2 tumours, the ultrasound diagnosis was correct in 15 cases (68%) with 2 under-estimations and 5 over-estimations (considered as being T3). Of the 28 patients with T3 tumours, the ultrasound diagnosis was correct in 25 cases (89.2%) with only three under-estimations as T2. In general, the authors found that ultrasound had a 92.3% reliability in distinguishing between the 2 main types of tumour: the infiltrating and the non infiltrating. This degree of reliability is superior to all other methods. With trans-abdominal ultrasound, the authors obtained degrees of reliability comparable to those of other authors using endo-cavitary ultrasound.

Transabdominal sonography of seminal vesicles.

We evaluated 119 male patients for infertility and/or prostatitis. Transabdominal sonography of the seminal vesicles was performed and transverse sections were used to measure the height and breadth. A correlation was established with the characteristics of the semen, the volume of semen being related directly to the size of the vesicles. Male patients with semen abnormalities had seminal vesicles of greater diameters than those with normal semen. When patients with prostatitis are eliminated from this group the difference is insignificant.

Functional evaluation of bladder neck disease.

22 patients diagnosed as having bladder neck disease were evaluated retrospectively point of view. Urodynamic study including intravesical pressure, rectal pressure, intrinsic detrusor pressure and urine flow was performed in every case. A relation was established between the findings and the definite etiology. Two urodynamic patterns were found, one with high pressures and low voiding flow, and one with low pressures and low voiding flow. Functional differences were not found between the two etiological groups, i.e. fibrotic and idiopathic.
