    (Termedia Publishing House Ltd, 2017) Poyraz, Necdet; Balasar, Mehmet; Gokmen, Ibrahim Erdem; Koc, Osman; Sonmez, Mehmet Giray; Aydin, Arif; Goger, Yunus Emre
    Introduction: Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) is the preferred procedure for safe and effective surgical treatment of kidney stones. Hemorrhage is the most serious complication of PNL, resulting from pseudoaneurysm (PA) or arteriovenous fistula (AVF), and can usually be controlled with conservative treatment. Aim: To evaluate endovascular treatments and outcomes of vascular complications observed after PNL. Material and methods: We retrospectively reviewed data on 19 patients who underwent renal embolization due to post-PNL renal artery bleeding between March 2005 and September 2016. Embolization materials included embolization coils and glue. The incidence of post-PNL vascular complications and their endovascular treatments, outcomes, and the follow-up data were analyzed. Results: Nineteen (1.1%) of 1,609 patients (mean age: 44.9 years, range: 19-75 years) underwent angiography and subsequent transcatheter embolization to control bleeding. The mean time to onset of hemorrhage was 7.2 days after PNL (range: 3-18 days). The PNL entry site was the lower calyx in 15 patients, the middle calyx in 3, and the upper calyx in 1. PA, AVF, and PA plus AVF occurred in 14, 5, and 3 of the 19 renal angiography patients, respectively. Embolization of the affected vessels was successful in all 19 patients. The embolization materials of coil, glue, and coil plus glue were used in 16, 3, and 2 patients, respectively. Conclusions: Severe hematuria is a rare complication of PNL and can be successfully treated with transcatheter embolization.

    A Different Presentation of Urinary Tract Infections: Emphysematous Cystitis
    (Aves, 2013) Ergin, Mehmet; Atabey, Ertan; Atabey, Ersin; Gokmen, Ibrahim Erdem; Visneci, Fatih Emin; Cander, Basar
    Emphysematous cystitis (EC) tends to be seen in the geriatric population. Half of the patients have diabetes mellitus. Other predisposed factors are urinary retention, steroid and other immune suppressive treatments. We present the case of a 75-yearold female patient admitted to the emergency department with complains of abdominal pain and haematuria. She had diabetes mellitus type 2 and amputation below the knee of the left leg. Her vital signs were in the normal range except mild hypothermia. Her physical examination revealed abdominal sensitivity and a mass of 8x8 cm by palpation. Her laboratory results showed pyuria and haematuria, leukocytosis, and a high level of procalcitonin. Contrast-enhanced abdominal tomography showed gas in the wall and the air-fluid level within the lumen of the urinary bladder, which was pathognomonic for EC. There is great variability in clinical presentation and prognosis in cases of EC. Emergency physicians should know the radiological features of EC and associated pathologies of other abdominal organs to prevent the progression of infection.
