Various Applications of Corpus Cavernosography

The authors believe corpus cavernosography is an important aid in the evaluation of metastatic lesions, priapism, impotence, atrophy and fibrosis of the penis, and trauma to the penis. By visualizing the emptying of the contrast material from the cavernous spaces into the veins draining the penis, it is possible to assess the length of time that the contrast material remained in the organ.

Fibroepithelial polyps of ureter

Abstract A case of benign fib roepithelial polyp of the right ureter is reported because of lack of symptoms referable to the polyp. absence of ureteric dilatation proximal to the mass, and the rarity of a mass projecting through the ureteric orifice producing a filling defect in the bladder.

The radiographic findings in neurogenic bladder.

Numerous articles have documented the clinical symptomatology and the many causative factors associated with neurogenic lesions affecting the bladder, but the associated radiographic findings (1) have been infrequently and often incompletely presented. Among the more common causes of neurogenic bladder are such entities as trauma with damage to the spinal cord or cauda equina, congenital lesions such as spina bifida, multiple sclerosis, syphilis, diabetes mellitus, and neoplasm. The clinical picture varies, depending on the severity of the lesion and its level. In some cases there will be urinary retention with associated overflow incontinence. In other instances there may be total loss of urinary control, with inability to initiate or inhibit the stream, continuous dribbling, or involuntary evacuation of urine at regular intervals. The radiographic findings associated with neurogenic bladder are caused directly by the neuromuscular effects of the neurogenic lesions on the bladder and sphincters and indir...

Granulomatous prostatitis special reference to radiologic findings

Cystourethrography was performed in 2 patients with nonspecific, noneosinophilic granulomatous prostatitis. Lengthening of the prostatic urethra was noted essentially in the inframontane portion, thus differentiating it from benign prostatic hypertrophy. The widening in the prostatic urethra differentiates it from carcinoma of the prostate.

Roentgenographic evaluation of nephroptosis

Vertical and medial nephroptosis was assessed on 60 consecutive excretory urographic examinations. Ptosis, both vertical and medial, was seen more commonly in females, and vertical ptosis was more frequent than medial ptosis. In our series there was no significant evidence of predominance on the right side. Dietl crisis, nausea, vomiting, hypotension, oliguria, or orthostatic hypertension were not encountered. Nephroptosis was mostly asymptomatic. In those patients with symptoms, lumbar pain was common and could be either aggravated or relieved by change in position. A new sign, paradoxic displacement, is described. This could be of value to the surgeon and radiotherapist in evaluating enlargement of a huge abdominal mass - a difficulat task to assess clinically.

Unilateral hydronephrosis affecting the contralateral kidney and ureter.

In the 3 cases presented, unilateral hydronephrosis and/or hydroureter extend across the midline to affect the contralateral excretory system. In 2 cases the affected kidney was enlarged and displaced with resultant hydronephrosis of the contralateral side. In the third case, a left ureteral calculus was observed on the right side of the spine. It is emphasized that unilateral management of the diseased urinary tract may result in improvement on the contralateral side.
