The ectopic pelvic kidney is defined as a kidney placed atypically due to abnormal migration from the fetal pelvis during development embryological. Ectopic kidneys can be more exposed to trauma, since they are in a less protected anatomical position. Today, these anomalies are generally noted as fortuitous discoveries during the initial assessment by ultrasound or computed tomography (CT scan). A post-traumatic renal artery pseudoaneurysm rarely occurs after abdominal trauma blunt. Common symptoms include acute hematuria, abdominal pain, a lump pulsatile in the abdomen or flank, or arterial hypertension. We report the case of a patient with post traumatic renal artery pseudoaneurysm on two fortuitously discovered ectopic pelvic kidneys
Pseudoaneurysms of peripheral arteries are very rare, and mostly these are the result of penetrating injuries. The diagnosis of a pseudoaneurysm must be evoked early and should not be ignored, despite its rarity, in front of any pulsatile and painful mass or other evocative signs following a trauma, most often penetrating, because it can lead to complications (thrombosis, emboli, compression of adjacent structures such as nerves and neighboring vessels) with important consequences Here, we report a case pseudoaneurysm of ulnar artery and its radiological diagnosis approach method.
Pneumoblastoma is a rare but severely aggressive primary lung tumor. Exceptional at the pediatric age, pneumoblastoma lacks clinical and radiological specificity. It is rarely mentioned as a first-line differential, as radiological images are often confused with those of congenital lung malformation. This history is reminiscent of the diagnostic difficulty with which the clinician is confronted with the finding of an intrathoracic cystic image of the child. Primary childhood lung tumors, especially pneumoblastoma, are difficult to diagnose both clinically and by imaging. It is necessary to think about it in the face of any lingering respiratory infection and any atypical radiological presentation. We report this case in order to illustrate the usual radiographic, ultrasound, and scenographic aspects of this rare malignant tumor in children and to highlight the diagnostic problems posed by this exceptional pathology.
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.
