Excretory urography in patients with prostatism.

The value of performing routine screening excretory urography in patients with prostatism was prospectively evaluated in 180 patients (50 years old or older). All patients had signs and symptoms of prostatism or acute urinary retention, findings of benign prostatic hypertrophy on physical examination, and negative urine cultures. High-risk patients, such as those with hematuria, urinary tract infections, history of bladder tumors, or significant elevation of serum creatinine, were excluded. In four patients (2.2%), findings of excretory urography resulted in an alteration of patient management. Three of these had asymptomatic upper urinary tract malignancies. One had a complicated renal cyst. We conclude that routine screening of patients with prostatism is warranted.

A false-negative LeVeen shunt study.

Previous reports have indicated an accuracy of nearly 100% for LeVeen shunt studies. A case is presented that fulfills the criteria for proper function, but the LeVeen shunt tube was poorly functioning with its tip partially extravascular.

Diverticulosis of the appendix: radiographic and clinical features.

We have reported three cases of appendiceal diverticulosis diagnosed by barium enema examination, and reviewed the radiographic and clinical findings. An awareness of this lesion is important, since diverticulitis of the appendix may occur in up to two thirds of patients with DA.

Heterotopic bone formation in patients with DISH following total hip replacement.

Radiographs of 236 patients who underwent total hip replacement (THR) were evaluated for heterotopic bone formation. There was no significant difference in the presence and degree of ossification in patients with and without diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH). The authors conclude that DISH is not a significant risk factor in the development of heterotopic bone formation following THR.

Ascites: comparison of plain film radiographs with ultrasonograms.

Plain film abdominal radiographs of 100 cases of ultrasound-proved ascites were reviewed for findings of ascites. In addition, 100 nonascitic cases proved by sonography were reviewed to evaluate the specificity of these findings. We found that all the described plain film radiographic signs of ascites except the hepatic angle sign are insensitive though specific. The hepatic angle sign has a sensitivity of 84% and a specificity of 70%.

Retrograde jejunogastric intussusception.

Retrograde jejunal intussusception (RJI) is an uncommon complication of gastric resection procedures that can be life threatening. Two cases of RJI are presented with discussion of the possible etiologies, manifestations, diagnosis and management of this complication.
