Patients with seminal vesicle cysts associated with renal agenesis may present with symptoms of bladder irritation or obstruction and with an abdominal or pelvic mass revealed on physical examination. Differentiation of a seminal vesicle cyst from other pelvic cystic masses may be determined with a spectrum of imaging techniques including excretory urography, sonography, CT, and MR imaging.
Idiopathic segmental thrombosis of the corpus cavernosum as a cause for partial priapism is an uncommon event. Diagnosis and treatment in the past have principally involved invasive methods. We present a case in which both conventional invasive methods and noninvasive imaging were used.
Two cases of choledochocele are presented and 14 cases in the literature reviewed. Choledochocele is defined as a herniation of the common bile duct into the duodenum. This entity is distinguishable radiographically from duodenal diverticulum and duodenal duplication cyst by filling during cholangiography but not during upper gastrointestinal series. The duodenal diverticulum fills on upper gastrointestinal series but not on cholangiography. The duplication cyst will not fill with either method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
