Morphol., 35(3):1129-1132, 2017. SUMMARY: Most anatomical and biomechanical studies on the craniovertebral junction have involved morphological or morphometric analysis on the occipital condyles. Some of these studies have provided important findings based on different surgical procedures. The shape, size and angle of the occipital condyles and the locations of the intracranial and extracranial orifices of the hypoglossal canal are highly important because they may affect the lateral approaches to the craniovertebral junction. To determine the frequency of occurrence of different morphological types of occipital condyle. 214 occipital condyles in 107 dry human skulls were analyzed and the classification of their morphological types was determined through assessing digitized photographic images. Among the 107 skulls analyzed, 59.8 % were male and 40.2 % were female. Their ages ranged from 11 to 91 years, with a mean of 57.56 years. Of the total of 10 morphological types of occipital condyle that were found, more than 50 % were of the "8", "S" and ring types. Condyles of "8" and "S" shape were the main types found in male skulls: the "8" shape prevailed on the left side and the "S" shape on the right side. However, in female skulls, these two types had equal bilateral distribution.

RESUMENURETERITIS QUÍSTICA EN PACIENTE CANDIDATA A TRASPLANTE RENAL La ureteritis quística es una patología muy infrecuente, sin que hasta el momento se haya establecido su patogénesis exacta. Se presenta con sintomatología inespecífica, pero sin embargo los hallazgos radiológicos son bastante orientativos.No hay un tratamiento específico para estos pacientes, siendo el trasplante renal el paso final para los que desarrollen insuficiencia renal crónica terminal (IRCT).Presentamos un caso de ureteritis crónica diagnosticado durante el estudio pretrasplante de una paciente con IRCT.Palabras Clave: Pieloureteritis. Ureteritis quística. Trasplante renal. Enfermedades ureterales. ABSTRACT CYSTIC URETERITIS IN A KIDNEY TRASPLANTATION CANDIDATECystic ureteritis is a very uncommon pathology, whose pathogenesis is not well established. It is usually asociated with chronic infectious factors. It presents unspecific symptoms but characteristic radiologic findings.There is not an especific treatment for this disease. Kidney trasplant is the final pathway for patients with chronic renal failure.We report a case of cystic ureteritis diagnosed during pre-trasplant study. NOTA CLÍNICA L a presencia de quistes de localización submucosa en algún nivel del urotelio recibe el nombre de pieloureteritis, ureteritis o cistitis quística según la zona afectada, que suele ser el tercio superior ureteral, siendo rara la localización vesical.La pieloureteritis quística (PQ) es una patología de escasa incidencia, que se ha descrito principalmente en adultos de todas las edades, pudiendo afectar también a niños. Su incidencia es similar en ambos sexos, aunque para algunos autores predomina ligeramente en el femenino 1 .Su tratamiento es conservador en la gran mayoría de casos. Cuando la afectación es bilateral, con macroquistes e IRCT, está indicada en ocasiones la nefrectomía bilateral y el trasplante renal (TR). Esto es excepcional 2 , por lo que presentamos el caso que hemos tenido ocasión de diagnosticar y tratar. CASO CLÍNICOPresentamos el caso de una mujer de 62 años con antecedentes personales de hipertensión arterial en tratamiento desde tres años antes, histerectomía por miomatosis uterina, nefrolitiasis coraliforme bilateral diagnosticada treinta años antes, habiéndosele realizado pielolitectomía izquierda en aquella fecha.

Adrenal metastases are more frequent than primary adrenal carcinoma. The most frequent are, in this order: breast and lung cancer, stomach and kidney carcinomas, adrenal gland contralateral tumors and melanoma. Less frequent are tumours of the bladder, colon, esophagus, gall bladder, liver, pancreas, prostate, stomach and uterus. The rest of the tumours rarely spread toward adrenal glands. The metastases to the adrenal glands caused by sarcomas are rare and normally they happen in the contest of a massive metastases affecting several organs at the same time. We present a case of a patient affected by adrenal metastases of Ewing's sarcoma who has been referred to us for surgical treatment because it is a unique metastases (there is no sing of more illnesses in other organs at the time of the exploration).
