Complete androgen insensitivity syndrome: report of a case with solitary pelvic kidney.

Complete androgen insensitivity syndrome, commonly known as the testicular feminization syndrome, is characterized by a 46, XY karyotype, bilateral testes, absent or hypoplastic Wolffian ducts, and female-appearing external genitalia with diminished axillary and pubic hair development. Although initial diagnosis in the child is difficult, the syndrome must be suspected after puberty if primary amenorrhea is present. Coexistence of genital defects with urologic abnormalities is expected in these cases because of close embryologic origin. However, unilateral renal agenesis with pelvic ectopia of the contralateral kidney does not seem so common. We report a case of testicular feminization syndrome with a solitary kidney located in bony pelvis on the left side.

Hydatid cysts of the kidney, seminal vesicle and gluteus muscle.

Hydatid disease has a high incidence in Turkey and causes significant complications. A case is reported here of unusual localization of hydatidosis, with involvement of hydatid cysts of the seminal vesicle, kidney and gluteus muscle. A review of the literature is also included.

Vertebral hydatid disease.

Hydatid disease affecting the bones is a rare condition, its incidence ranging from 0.5-2% of all cases of hydatidosis. The bones most often involved are the vertebrae (44%). A 22-year-old man presented to the hospital with low back pain. A CT scan revealed intracanal and paravertebral cystic lesions at the level of L5-S1 with destruction of the corpus and lamina, and sacral foramen invasion. An operation was performed and histopathological findings confirmed the diagnosis. In countries where hydatidosis is endemic, the possibility of the disease must be borne in mind.

A case of bladder agenesis.

Agenesis of the bladder is a rare anomaly, and it is usually associated with the absence of the urethra. In the case report herein, a normal urethra was found with ureters emptying into the posterior urethra. The right kidney was non-functioning and small.

Retrobulbar hydatid cyst: assessment of two cases.

A 54-year-old man with a unilocular hydatid cyst within the infero-posterior angle of the orbit and a 6-year-old male child with a unilocular hydatid cyst within the supero-medial angle of the orbit are presented. The retrobulbar cysts were diagnosed with computed tomography and ultrasonography and were treated after serologic confirmation.

Intrathoracic extramedullary haemopoiesis.

Intrathoracic extramedullary haemopoiesis is a rare condition accompanying chronic haematologic diseases. A 25 year old male beta-thalassaemia intermedia patient with bilateral posterior mediastinal masses is reported. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging provide detailed information for evaluation of thalassaemia and similar haemolytic diseases. In geographic areas where thalassaemia is prevalent, to avoid unnecessary surgical interventions, extramedullary haemopoiesis should be considered in differential diagnosis of patients who have chronic anaemia with asymptomatic intrathoracic tumours.

Hallervorden-Spatz disease.

In a 22 year old man with dominant extrapyramidal signs, dystonia and mental deterioration, magnetic resonance imaging revealed marked overall low signal from the globus pallidus on each side, with central zones of high signal on T2-weighted spin echo sequences. There was also a strikingly low signal in the zona reticularis of the substantia nigra, consistent with Hallervorden-Spatz disease.

Superior mesenteric artery aneurysm in Behçet's disease.

Behçet's disease is a multisystem disorder characterized by recurrent orogenital ulcerations and uveitis. Vascular involvement can include both arteries and veins, with a preponderance of venous lesions. Aneurysms of splanchnic arteries due to Behçet's disease have been rarely reported. We present an unusual case of superior mesenteric artery aneurysm due to Behçet's disease diagnosed by ultrasonography and angiography.
