Follow-up of patients treated for urinary bladder calculi.

Fifty patients were followed-up for an average of 3 years after treatment for urinary bladder calculi. In 10 of these (20%) altogether 20 metabolic or endocrine diagnoses were revealed at follow-up: hypercalcaemia, 8; hyperuricosaemia, 4; high parathormone, 3; hyperuricosuria, 2; hypercalciuria, 2: hyperoxaluria, 1. About half of the patients also had other diagnoses, dominated by outflow obstruction at the prostatic level, followed by neurogenic bladder disorder. Fifteen had developed new bladder calculi. Urography revealed upper tract calculi in 12 patients, but 11 of these were free from metabolic disorder. Significant bacteriuria was common (24%). Our conclusion is that a follow-up is to be recommended after treatment of bladder calculi. It should include cystoscopy and screening for endocrine/metabolic disorders.

[Antibiotic-resistant cystitis in the course of urinary bladder calculi after vesicoureteral reflux operation many years ago].

This is the introduction of chronic cystitis in course of urinary bladder calculi, 12 years after vesicoureteral reflux operation. The nucleus of the calculus (3 x 3 x 4 cm) were unresorbed dexon sutures left after the surgical treatment. Inaccuracy of radiological and ultrasonography examination delayed the settlement of the diagnosis about 18 months, and patient was caused of many months antibacterial therapy. After removal the calculus from the urinary bladder, dysuric disorders abated quickly and than after 8 weeks antibacterial therapy pathological changes in urine analysis disappeared, urine culture was sterile.

Urinary bladder calculi complicating ventriculo-vesical shunt.

A rare case of vesical calculi complicating the procedure of ventriculo-vesical shunt is presented. In addition to highlighting technical difficulties in placing shunt catheters into the urinary system, the potential complications are discussed. We consider this route of cerebrospinal fluid(CSF) diversion less physiological compared with the peritoneal, pleural or the venous sites, and discourage use of the urinary bladder as the drainage site for the shunting of CSF.

[A case of squamous cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder associated with bladder calculi].

A case of squamous cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder associated with a bladder stone in a 43-year-old man is reported. Because a 1 cm x 1 cm sized mass was found in the right lateral side of the dome at the time of vesicolithotomy, partial cystectomy was performed. The weight of the stone was 285 g and the tumor was histologically diagnosed as squamous cell carcinoma, grade 2, pT2. Radical cystectomy with ileal conduit was sandwiched by a total of 6 cycles of chemotherapy with PVB. Twelve cases of squamous cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder associated with a bladder stone(s) from the Japanese literature are reviewed, and the relationship between bladder stone, leukoplakia and squamous cell carcinoma discussed.

Ultrasonographic study of feline lower urinary tract diseases: 32 cases.

The objective of the study was to describe the ultrasonographic findings of urinary bladder urolithiasis and to determine the diagnostic value of the technique in feline lower urinary tract diseases (LUTD). Physical examination of the urinary system and routine clinicopathological analysis of the blood and urine were performed on 32 cats presented with clinical symptoms of LUTD. Cystosonography was done on all of the cats, while plain radiography was performed on 8 and double contrast cystography on 2 cats. Sonography of the bladder provided the following diagnoses: urolithiasis and chronic cystitis: 24 cases, chronic cystitis without urolithiasis: 4 cases, bladder neoplasm: 1 case, negative sonographic finding: 3 cases. Bladder calculi and/or plugs were diagnosed easily, up to a size of 2 mm, according to acoustic shadowing and/or reverberation and gravitation. When the bladder was empty, it was filled up with physiologic saline solution to visualise its contents more easily. Sonography proved to be a useful technique for diagnosing urinary bladder calculi and/or plugs even when they were radiolucent and for distinguishing among the different causes of LUTD. Although ultrasonography is a valuable diagnostic tool, radiography is still necessary to explore lower urinary tract diseases, especially when cystosonography provides negative results or urethral obstruction is suspected.
