  • abdominal aortic aneurysm associated with crossed renal ectopia without fusion case report and literature review

    Abstract:

    Genitourinary anomalies can present a formidable challenge to the vascular surgeon at abdominal aortic reconstruction. We saw a case of crossed renal ectopia without fusion, a rare anomaly, associated with abdominal aortic aneurysm. Because of risk for injury to the Kidney during surgery, preoperative evaluation of this anomaly must include computed tomography, angiography, and intravenous pyelography. Preoperative placement of a ureteral catheter may prevent injury to the anomalous ureter. Renal failure of the Ectopic Kidney during aortic reconstruction can be a serious problem. We used in situ hypothermic perfusion with cold (4°C) Ringer solution for renal protection, and reimplanted the aberrant renal artery. The postoperative course was good, without major complications. The procedure for renal preservation must be selected on the basis of anatomic findings. We review the literature and present the first case of crossed renal ectopia. (J Vasc Surg 2003;37:1098-102.) Crossed renal ectopia is an uncommon genitourinary anomaly, detected in 1 of 7000 autopsies. 1 The Ectopic Kidney crosses the midline and lies contralateral to its normal position, 2 and may be fused to the normal Kidney. The ureter of the Ectopic Kidney crosses the midline to enter the bladder at its normal position. The blood supply to the Kidneys is from the aorta or the iliac arteries, and the number of renal arteries varies. 3,4 Such aberrations may provide a significant challenge to the vascular surgeon if aortic reconstruction is required. The English literature includes only been a few reports of abdominal aneurysm repair complicated by crossed fused Ectopic Kidney, 5-10 and no reports of this operation without fusion. We report successful aneurysm reconstruction in a patient with crossed Ectopic Kidney without fusion. CASE REPORT

  • pseudocoarction of the aorta and crossed fused Ectopic Kidney assessed by multidetector computed tomography
    Journal of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography, 2010
    Co-Authors: Michael A Bolen, Navdeep Tandon, Eric E Roselli
    Abstract:

    Aortic pseudocoarctation is a congenital abnormality consisting of an elongated aortic arch with a kink at level of the isthmus. However, unlike coarctation, significant flow obstruction is not associated with pseudocoarctation, although there is an increased incidence other cardiovascular anomalies. This case demonstrates the use of multidetector CT as part of the clinical evaluation of a 49-year-old male with suspected aortic coarctation, leading to the final diagnosis of pseudocoarctation, as well as the incidental discovery of a crossed fused Ectopic Kidney.

  • Complete Genome Sequence of Corynebacterium urealyticum Strain DSM 7111, Isolated from a 9-Year-Old Patient with Alkaline-Encrusted Cystitis
    'American Society for Microbiology', 2013
    Co-Authors: Guimarães, Luis C., Tauch Andreas, Soares, Siomar C., Albersmeier Andreas, Blom Jochen, Jaenicke Sebastian, Azevedo Vasco, Soriano Francisco, Trost Eva
    Abstract:

    Guimarães LC, Soares SC, Albersmeier A, et al. Complete Genome Sequence of Corynebacterium urealyticum Strain DSM 7111, Isolated from a 9-Year-Old Patient with Alkaline-Encrusted Cystitis. Genome announcements. 2013;1(3): e00264-13.Corynebacterium urealyticum is a common skin colonizer with potent urease activity. It is clinically recognized as an opportunistic pathogen causing urinary tract infections. The annotated genome sequence of strain DSM 7111, isolated from the urine of a young boy with an Ectopic Kidney, provides new insights into the pathomechanisms of this bacterium
