Introduction Genitourinary trauma secondary to a gunshot wound is uncommon as it only occurs in about 10% of cases. We present a case of a gentleman who suffered a gunshot wound to the kidney. Presentation of case A 28 year old man presented with irritative lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTs) since three months. The medical history was irrelevant. He is known case of neurogenic bladder maintained on regular clean intermittent catheterization (CIC). He has history of gunshot to the back since few years that resulted in spinal injury. CTUT showed retained bullet inside the right kidney that look alike hyperdense renal stone, Moreover, multiple vesical stones. The vesical stones were treated with cystolitholapaxy. Given that the patient is asymptomatic, conservative management for the retained right renal bullet is the feasible option. Discussion Based on the ASST classification, renal gunshot injury results in a grade IV injury. Abdominal exploration was reserved only in selected scenarios. Gunshot injuries to the kidney are commonly associated with thoracic and abdominal injuries. Gunshot injuries may be caused by low-velocity or high-velocity bullets. Given the paucity of cases reported in the literature, it is not obvious what is the optimum management of such patients with a retained renal bullet? We present the radiological findings and a clinical case summary as well for those who have Grade IV kidney injury and retained bullet managed conservatively. Conclusion Retained renal bullet post gunshot injury to the back is unusual presentation. A characteristic star-like pattern produced by lead shots and not by “stone,” consisting of plastic detonating cap will aid the urologist to differentiate retained renal bullet from renal stone. In such scenario, asymptomatic renal bullet look alike renal stone doesn't necessitate treatment.

Background Pseudoaneurysm (PA) of pudendal artery’s distal branches is an extremely rare clinical scenario. We report a case of life-threatening urethrorrhagia due to PA of the internal pudendal artery (IPA). Case presentation A 35-year-old man presented with massive urethral bleeding after traumatic urethral catheterization. Failed attempts of conservative management necessitate an emergency intervention with angiography which shows an active extravasation from the left IPA, which was embolized with gel foam, and complete hemostasis was achieved. Conclusion PA of the pudendal artery’s distal branches is serious, and majority of cases need an emergency intervention. CT angiography is the best diagnostic imaging, and angioembolization of the bleeding site is considered the first-line treatment. Other treatment options such as US-guided compression, endoscopic coagulation, and open surgery are alternative treatments.

Penile prosthesis migration is rare. Most reported cases are migration of inflatable penile prosthesis reservoirs. We reported a case of rectal migration of malleable penile prosthesis passed out as hard bowel motion without patient recognition.
