Congenital Factor VII Deficiency Presenting With Isolated Recurrent Hematuria: A Case Report

Factor VII deficiency is a rare congenital coagulopathy disorder. In most cases, this disorder is diagnosed in childhood. Common symptoms of congenital factor VII deficiency are different and consist of cutaneous, mucosal hemorrhage, gastrointestinal bleeding, and joint bleeding. CNS hemorrhage is a fatal and severe complication of congenital factor VII deficiency. The incidence of gross hematuria is a rare symptom of factor VII deficiency. Isolated presentation of hematuria is rarer and usually is accompanied by bleeding in other sites. The patient reported here is a 6-month-old girl who was diagnosed with congenital Factor VII deficiency following episodes of isolated gross hematuria. We decided to report this case to demonstrate if there is no other organic cause in the investigation of a child with recurrent hematuria, we should also consider a coagulation factors deficiency. Since isolated hematuria is a rare symptom in the coagulation factors deficiency, the coagulation tests may be of less interest.

Renal myxoma: An unforeseen diagnosis

Myxomas are rare tumours that can be found in many anatomical locations. There are only 17 cases of renal involvement documented. Our case is an 85 year-old man followed in our consultation with recurrent hematuria after a transurethral resection of a bladder tumour. Evaluation with CT showed a solid lesion with 23 x 18 mm partially obliterating the left inferior calyx. The patient underwent a left nephroureterectomy. Microscopic examination showed a mass within renal parenchyma adjacent to the renal pelvis composed of plump mildly atypical spindle cells distributed in a copious myxoid matrix. Immunohistochemical staining for Vimentine, Pankeratin (AE1/AE3-), CD34, CD31 and smooth muscle actin were negative. With these histopathological and immunohistochemical findings, the case was diagnosed as renal myxoma.

Endovascular Embolization of a Previously Treated Renal Arteriovenous Malformation Presenting With Gross Hematuria

Renal arteriovenous shunts are direct communications between the supplying artery and draining vein without the presence of an intervening capillary bed. They can be traumatic or nontraumatic. Coils can be used for embolization of feeding arteries; however, they do not treat the nidus directly. We report a case in which proximal coil placement in feeding arteries led to recanalization of the renal AV shunt through collaterals, resulting in recurrent hematuria. The case was subsequently managed by embolizing the nidus by N-butyl 2-cyanoacrylate glue.

APPLICATIONS ENDOVASCULAR EMBOLIZATION FOR PERSISTENT HEMATURIA AT HUE CENTRAL HOSPITAL: NINETEEN CASES SERIES Background: Due to an induced arterio-ureteral fistula is very common after a renal partial surgery, traumatic, biopsy, arteriovenous malformations (AVM), arteriovenous fistulas (AVF). Endovascular interventions include a variety of methods and embolic materials of different circuit nodes for the purpose of completely vascular embolization causing extravasation or reduce the size of the AVM, AVF and False aneurysms, minimizing complications and recurrence. Patient and Method: Nineteen patients were performed the transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) in Hue central hospital from 10 /2013 to 12 /2018, 19 cases had persistent hematuria. Results: All had excluded extravasation after embolization, no recurrent hematuria. Conclusion: Applications endovascular embolization in persistent hematuria is an effective and safe therapeutic method, it can be widely apply.
