Answer to previous blog:
See my blog at:

The answer to that quiz is: it is a case of incompetence of the saphenofemoral junction with incompetence of multiple valves of the great saphenous vein resulting in varices in the left leg. These varicose veins are associated with incompetent and distended perforator veins in that area. This is well demonstrated in the color Doppler images and videos posted on that blog.

Distal ureteral calculus
Right hydronephrosis, albeit mild grade. But what could be the cause?
The right ureter was dilated (hydroureter); till its distal part where I saw this calculus of 9 mm.!
Power Doppler ultrasound imaging shows the twinkle artifact, at the site of the right ureteral (ureteric) calculus.
Ultrasound image of the calculus and hydroureter on the right side.
This lady has pain just the exact site of the stone in the dilated right ureter. This made it easy to trace the calculus.

Quiz- a case of Pyrexia
Bladder (above):
Kidneys: (above):
Prostate TRUS scan (above)
What is your diagnosis in this elderly male with high fever?
Answer: The ultrasound images of the kidneys show that they are edematous and swollen with compression of the central, renal sinus (pelvis) echoes. This is typically seen in renal infection (nephritis). The high vascularity of the prostate suggests prostatitis. This is a classic case of urinary tract infection, involving the entire urinary tract.
