"The intraureteric diverticulum", a manifestation of ureterocoele intussusception.

An ectopic ureterocoele may present as a diverticular-like structure at the bladder base appearing during voiding cystography. The radiological appearances are described and the mechanism of formation as seen in serial 70 mm film is discussed. The conventional intravesical filling defect of an ureterocoele may not be recognised when the bladder is filled by contrast medium. This sign of extra-vesical intra-ureteric invagination is only seen during voiding.

New observations on the cholangiographic pseudocalculus defect: a case report.

Contraction of the distal sphincter of the common bile duct (as distinct from the sphincter of Oddi) may produce a pseudocalculus defect. A typical case is described where the defect was thought to be a retained stone on T-tube cholangiography. The anatomy of the defect is emphasized by its persistence after sphincteroplasty. A diagnostic feature is the immediate abolition of the defect by hyoscine butylbromide (Buscopan, Boehringer Ingelheim).

Spontaneous renal hemorrhage.

This report of 9 cases of spontaneous renal hemorrhage illustrates the wide variety of responsible conditions that may be found in a small series and the tendency for some of these conditions to coexist. In particular, all 3 patients with a bleeding diathesis had an associated anatomic lesion, and it was concluded that this group of patients required aggressive radiologic investigation. Three main clinical presentations were identified: sudden severe flank pain, symptomless hypertension, and a palpable mass with few or no symptoms. The radiologic signs are reviewed with emphasis on a recently described sign of streaky retroperitoneal fat. Treatment is discussed briefly.
