Three women are described in whom obstructive uropathy was found secondary to uterine prolapse. Two of these patients had severe renal failure. It is important to exclude this condition in any woman presenting with renal functional impairment. Potentially damaging urinary tract obstruction should be considered in every patient with a uterine prolapse.

The hemolytic-uremic syndrome consists of hemolytic anemia, renal failure, and thrombocytopenia. Submucosal hemorrhage with "thumbprinting" on roentgenographic examination of the colon with barium was demonstrated in four patients, prolapse of the rectum in two patients, and pseudomembranous enterocolitis and toxic megacolon in one. These lesions are not generally associated with hemolytic-uremic syndrome. The presence of these lesions in a child with bloody diarrhea should suggest hemolytic-uremic syndrome as a possible diagnosis. Sigmoidoscopy and roentgenographic examination of the colon with barium should be done in selected patients with hemolytic-uremic syndrome to evaluate the degree of colonic involvement and the need for surgery.

3 cases of renal failure, due to procidentia, presenting as emergencies are described. The upper urinary tracts of 4 asymptomatic patients with procidentia were investigated; dilatation was found in 1 instance only.

The authors report two patients with renal failure due to total procidentia. Surgical repair led to an improvement in renal function. Mild chronic renal failure persisted. Thus the renal status must be assessed in cases of uterine prolapse.

A five-year-old girl presented with mental retardation (MR), microcephaly, short stature, ptosis, malocclusion, abnormal elbows, fifth finger clinodactyly, joint hyperextensibility in hands and feet, renal hypoplasia, nonobstructive ureteral stasis, pyelonephritis, and renal failure. Five X chromosomes (49,XXXXX) were found in all peripheral blood lymphocytes and skin fibroblasts examined. Xa RBC typing, utilizing serial dilutions of antiserum, gave agglutination at a higher titer than in either Xg(a+) positive parent; the patient's serum IgM was also elevated. These immunological findings imply a lack of dosage compensation and incomplete inactivation of some X-linked loci.

We report 2 cases of complete uterine prolapse and bilateral severe hydronephrosis. Although vaginal hysterectomy corrected the obstruction the development of post-obstruction atrophy was associated with hypertension and moderate renal failure. Early diagnosis and correction are required to prevent these sequelae.

We report the case of a 73-year-old female who presented facial numbness and pain in the first division of the trigeminal nerve, ptosis, diplopia and visual loss on the right side for the previous four months. The neurological, radiological and histological examination demonstrated a rare case of invasive fungal aspergillosis of the central nervous system, causing orbital apex syndrome, later transformed in temporal brain abscess. She died ten months later due to respiratory and renal failure in spite of specific antimycotic therapy.

The prevalence of obstructive uropathy linked to uterine prolapse ranges between 4% and 80%, depending on the series, probably due to the varying degree of severity of the prolapses under consideration. Renal failure or anuria is an unusual complication. Several etiopathogenic theories regarding obstructive uropathy secondary to prolapse have been put forward: ureteral compression by the uterine vessels, severe urethral angulation, ureteral compression against levator ani muscles and the elongation and narrowing of the distal ureter. The major radiological exploration used in studying the urinary tract of these patients is intravenous urography in bipedestation. Emergency treatment for obstructive anuria resulting from a uterine prolapse consists of manually replacement of the prolapse. Surgery is considered to be the definitive ideal treatment, although in the case of surgical or anaesthetic high risk patients, inserting a permanent pessary may constitute a satisfactory solution. We present a case of obstructive anuria resulting from uterine prolapse, which was successfully treated with the insertion of a ring pessary.

Uterine prolapse resulting in hydronephrosis was uncommon. We report two cases of complete uterine prolapse and bilateral moderate hydronephrosis. Case 1, she was admitted due to fever with pyuria. Uterine prolapse was noted by incidental finding. Urine culture showed Escherichia coli. She received total vaginal hysterectomy, which corrected the obstruction and bladder dysfunction. Case 2, she had a history of liver cirrhosis and was denied further operation due to bleeding tendency. Renal echo and intravenous pyelography showed bilateral moderate hydronephrosis with hydroureter in the two cases. Normal renal function was found in the two cases. We suggest early diagnosis and management are necessary in order to prevent renal failure and urinary tract infection.

A 64-year-old woman had been diagnosed with uterine prolapse (UP), with a postvoid residual urine volume 4 years previously. In addition, she had had moderate renal dysfunction diagnosed 2 years before presentation. Her serum creatinine was 10.1 mg/dL, and she underwent right double-J stenting and insertion of an intravaginal ring. Pelvic examination revealed third degree UP, and computed tomography showed bilateral hydroureteronephrosis due to the UP. Stenting and the ring did not resolve the bilateral hydroureteronephrosis, and her renal function did not improve. The hydroureteronephrosis resulting from UP was the major cause of end-stage renal failure, and she was maintained on hemodialysis. Reduction of UP is needed before irreversible renal failure occurs.
