To report a rare case of spontaneous dissection of the renal pelvis and ureter, emphasizing its rarity and the diagnostic and treatment approach.
Key Findings:
Spontaneous dissection of the renal pelvis and ureter is characterized by separation of muscularis and mucosal layers.
CTU is effective in diagnosing this condition, showing significant findings like the double-lumen sign and indicating urinary obstruction.
Early interventional treatment can lead to symptom relief and favorable outcomes.
Interpretation:
The case underscores the importance of recognizing spontaneous renal dissection, utilizing CTU for diagnosis, and the potential for timely intervention to improve patient outcomes.
Limitations:
The study is based on a single case, limiting generalizability.
Long-term outcomes were not assessed, and further studies are needed to evaluate the durability of the intervention.
Conclusion:
This case provides valuable insights into the diagnosis and management of spontaneous renal pelvis and ureter dissection, emphasizing the role of CTU and timely intervention.
Mandibular reconstruction restores both mandible structure and function after the removal of cancerous bone. Surgeons use a fibula free flap, harvested from the patient’s own leg, to create replacement tissue for the new mandible.
