Renal hypoplasia, Gartner's duct cyst and imperforated hemivagina: report of a case.

A girl with unilateral renal hypoplasia, ipsilateral Gartner's duct cyst and ipsilateral imperforate hemivagina is reported. She had a history of urinary drib-bling since early childhood. Recently, a foul bloody vaginal discharge was noted. Diagnosis was highly suspected on pelvic sonography, computerized tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, and was confirmed by punctures in the genitourinary tract with contrast study during surgery. This anomaly is extremely rare. Although three patients with similar conditions have been previously reported, different clinical presentations were noted in this patient.

Serial ultrasonic changes of the bladder diverticulum during urination: report of one case.

A seven-year-old boy with a retrovesical diverticulum and ipsilateral renal dysplasia is reported. He had had a history of frequent urination and dysuria for four years. According to sonography, the volume of bladder diverticulum obviously changed during urination. The diverticulum presented as a temporary large reservoir of the bladder. In this case, serial ultrasonic changes assisted understanding of the role of the diverticulum during urination.

Splenic cysts in children.

Splenic cysts were found, incidentally, in eight children during the past nine years (1987-1995) in Taipei Municipal Women's and Children's Hospital. Five of the children were boys and three were girls. The age at diagnosis ranged from 8 to 15 years. Evidence of possible splenic cyst development was found initially by ultrasonography; six patients received further evaluation with computerized tomography (CT); one patient received radionuclide scanning. The cysts ranged from 2 cm to 14 cm in diameter. Four of the patients received surgical treatment (three partial splenectomy and one total splenectomy) because of huge splenic cysts (diameter > 10 cm). Subsequent pathological examination revealed that all cysts had epithelial cell lining in the cyst wall, meaning they were all congenital in origin. The remaining four cases were followed up at the Out-patient Clinic here. All cases had a benign clinical course.

A giant retroperitoneal ganglioneuroma with intraspinal involvement: report of one case.

A 9-year-old girl was discovered to have had a huge retroperitoneal mass causing moderate hydronephrosis and anterior displacement of the right kidney and which was found on a renal ultrasonographic examination. A series of examinations including (1)IVP, (2) abdominal computed tomography, (3) MRI and(4) incisional biopsy revealed a giant dumb-bell shaped retroperitoneal ganglioneuroma with intraspinal involvement. Secondary scoliosis was also noticed. We successfully resected the huge ganglioneuroma of the right retroperitoneum in a two stage procedure: her postoperative course was uneventful.
