Extraadrenal pheochromocytomas are rare and can present in difficult locations. In this case, the da Vinci robot was used for the safe management of this perihilar mass.
Perineal trauma can occur in both genders, however, data supporting the relationship between sexual dysfunction and blunt perineal trauma in women is lacking. This study reviewed the patient characteristics of women with sexual dysfunction who also had a history of blunt perineal trauma. A neurogenic form of sexual dysfunction has been implicated, with primary complaints of orgasm disorder and abnormalities noted on genital sensory testing. Further research in this area is needed.
Misplacement of an inferior vena caval (IVC) filter is an infrequent event. We describe a patient who underwent IVC filter placement after lower extremity trauma. Fourteen years later, the presence of microscopic hematuria prompted evaluation. Computed tomography urography revealed an IVC filter within the right renal vein. Ureteroscopy revealed penetration of a filter tine into the collecting system. The patient is being followed conservatively.
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.
