Functional disorders of the anus and rectum: findings on defecography.

In the past decade, interest in the anorectal region and the mechanism of continence and defecation has been increasing. Subsequently, techniques to visualize the anorectum have been introduced; evacuation proctography and defecography have been used to describe the dynamic radiologic evaluation of this area. Also, developments in anorectal manometry, electromyography, and transrectal sonography have renewed interest in defecography, particularly in categorizing the functional disorders including rectocele, intussusception and prolapse, enterocele, descending perineum syndrome, dyskinetic puborectalis muscle, solitary rectal ulcer syndrome, and incontinence.

Pelvic inflammatory disease: sonographic-pathologic correlation.

A retrospective analysis of the sonographic findings in 65 women with pelvic inflammatory disease was correlated with pathologic findings at surgery and laparoscopy. Abnormal sonograms could be classified into one of the following three groups: Type I pattern (endometritis); Type II pattern (focal mass); Type III pattern (total pelvic distortion). A simulated uterine appearance, the "pseudouterus sign," was observed in three patients with previous hysterectomy. Various pathologic entities of the pelvic inflammatory disease spectrum could not be reliably distinguished sonographically.

Acquired renal cystic disease and neoplasia: complications of chronic hemodialysis.

Long-term intermittent hemodialysis has resulted in longer life expectancies for patients with end-stage renal disease. These patients are at risk for the development of acquired renal cystic disease and renal neoplasms. We present the following case to provide the radiologist with a better recognition of this clinical problem.
