Ultrasound evaluation of the normal fetal pharynx.

OBJECTIVE: To obtain normative data for fetal pharyngeal diameter and to investigate the ability to visualize pharynx at different gestational ages during routine prenatal sonography. METHODS: Sonographic studies were performed in 292 consecutive pregnant women. The diameters of the pharynx were measured and our ability to visualize pharynx was evaluated at different gestational ages. RESULTS: Sonographic measurements of the pharyngeal diameter were obtained in 153 of the 292 fetuses. The diameter of the pharynx increased from a mean of 4.5+/-0.53 mm at 16 weeks to 9.1+/-1.72 mm at 36 weeks. Pharyngeal diameters showed a significant positive relationship with advancing gestational age (p<0.0001, R2=0.571). The differences in visualization among different gestational age groups were found to be significant (p<0.05 by Chi-Square). CONCLUSION: This study reports normative data for fetal pharyngeal diameter. Pharyngeal measurements were similar to previous reports in the literature. Our success in visualizing the pharynx was best between 21 and 30 weeks of gestation. This period might be the optimum time for evaluating fetal pharynx.

Does every retroperitoneal mass associated with undescended testicle represent testicular tumor or its metastasis?

We are presenting a 36 year old male patient who was diagnosed to have a right pararenal mass on CT scan taken for evaluation of his long lasting urinary stone disease and accompanying undescended right testicle. He subsequently underwent a retroperitoneal lymph node dissection for possible testicular tumor or its metastasis in the undescended testicle or retroperitoneal primary tumor, which came out to be non malignant tissue. We confirmed that the highest possible location of the testicle when undescended is at the level of the internal inguinal ring, and paracaval masses associated with undescended testicles do not necessarily represent a testicular tumor in the retained testicle, its metastasis or an extragonadal germ cell tumor (EGT), and further work should be done to illuminate the nature of such cases.

Psoas abscess twenty-one years after ipsilateral nephrectomy.

We report an unusual case of psoas abscess, which developed twenty-one years after ipsilateral nephrectomy and was caused by infrequent pathogen, Proteus mirabilis. It was diagnosed by computed tomography and was drained percutaneously with a nephrostomy tube guided by ultrasonography.
