Beschreibungen/Notizen

• A 70-year-old man with bladder cancer received a total cystectomy and an ileal conduit 64 months before he visited our hospital with complaints of lower abdominal pain, shaking and chilliness. Bilateral hydronephrosis due to an ileal conduit obstruction were observed on the ultrasonography. Bacterial culture from blood and urine samplings revealed E. coli. Under the diagnosis of urosepsis, the administration of anti-biotics and bilateral percutaneous nephrostomy were performed. However, he suffered from septic shock and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). Therefore, the treatments for DIC were done, and they were effective. The obstruction of the ileal conduit was cured spontaneously. No recurrence or metastases were found on ultrasonography and computed tomographic scan for 12 months after these treatments.
