Bladder Diverticulum

Bladder diverticulum, an outpouching of the mucosa through the muscular wall of the bladder, is a multifactorial disease process that can be either acquired or congenital. Although small diverticuli are usually asymptomatic, a large diverticulum may result in hematuria, urinary tract infection, acute abdomen due to its rupture, acute urinary retention, or neoplasm formation. We describe the case of an elderly gentleman who presented to the emergency department with abdominal pain and was ultimately diagnosed with bladder diverticulitis, a disease not previously described in the literature.

Lower Urinary

Lower abdominal pain with lower urinary tracts symptoms in young girls presented to Emergency Department (ED) is urinary tract infection (UTI) until proven otherwise. We reported a case of classic UTI presentation with unusual finding of hematocolpos. We believed the unusual circumstance of this case is likely to be repeated in some other clinical practice and such differential diagnoses should be considered.

Objectives: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a leading cause of morbidity and health-care expenditures in persons of all ages. Recurrent UTI accounts a substantial portion due to its ambiguity of treatment and response. Only using palliative treatment during episodes is not enough to assure the complete resolution of the disease process. Apart from conventional medication, an alternative therapy is warranted for a better and gentle treatment regimen. Methods: This is the case of a 35-year-old female presented with the complaint of recurrent UTI for last 5 months along with some other complaints. After a thorough evaluation, we treated the case with homeopathic medicine, Lycopodium clavatum for a considerable period. The clinical assessment in different visits was done to note any improvement along with the pre-post pathological report. After complete resolution of symptoms, no further recurrence was noted in the next 6 months of follow-up. Results: A marked improvement in the clinical, as well as the pathological aspect, was observed. Conclusion: Although depending only on the observation of this case report efficacy cannot be established, it inevitably draws attention toward effective management of such recurrent UTI cases with homeopathic medication.

Abstract Background Diagnosing appendicitis within the pediatric population can be challenging, whether it be a neonate with irritability or a toddler with flank pain. Symptoms may mimic a viral illness, constipation, urinary tract infection, or intussusception, all of which are more common in this age group when compared with appendicitis. While a ruptured appendicitis can result in an intra-abdominal abscess, peritonitis, and/or shock, the development of a pyogenic hepatic abscess is extremely rare. Case presentation We present the case of a 2-year-old male who initially presented to the emergency department (ED) with fever and non-specific abdominal pain and was diagnosed with a urinary tract infection (UTI). He returned to the ED days later with rigors, worsening abdominal pain, and was diagnosed with a pyogenic hepatic abscess secondary to an ascending retrocecal appendicitis. In our patient, he did not just have a UTI with cultures growing Escherichia coli, but a hepatic abscess that was polymicrobial. He was started on broad-spectrum antibiotics and a 10 French pigtail catheter was placed. The patient was ultimately discharged on day 8 with continued antibiotics. After his antibiotic course, he underwent an elective laparoscopy appendectomy and is currently doing well post-operatively. Conclusion Our case report illustrates the significance in identifying atypical features of appendicitis, broadening the differential of non-specific abdominal pain in pediatric patients, and depending on the clinical situation, ruling out other potential intra-abdominal infections even in the presence of a true urinary tract infection.

Prompt Diagnosis

Ovarian torsion represents a true surgical emergency. Prompt diagnosis is essential to ovarian salvage, and high clinical suspicion is important in this regard. Confounding the diagnosis in general are more commonly encountered abdominal complaints in the Emergency Department (ED) such as constipation, diarrhea, and urinary tract infections and more common surgical emergencies such as appendicitis. Prompt diagnosis can be further complicated in low-risk populations such as young children. Herein, we describe the case of a 5-year-old girl with a seemingly benign presentation of abdominal pain who was diagnosed in the ED and treated for acute ovarian torsion after two prior clinic visits. A brief discussion of evaluation, treatment, and management of ovarian torsion follows.
