Vesical hernias occur in a significant number of patients with inguinal hernia, though massive inguinoscrotal vesical hernias are uncommon. This paper presents a case report of a male patient where massive inguinoscrotal vesical hernia, and scrotum-located multiple vesical lithiasis was associated to a large amount of lithiasic mass and bilateral ureterohydronephrosis. We consider this association of urinary conditions extremely rare, since to our knowledge bilateral ureterohydronephrosis has only been formerly documented in one case.
DURING the past ten years the danger of giving patients (particularly those with impaired cardiac function) too much sodium has frequently been stressed. However, the opposite danger of hyponatremia, or a low sodium level, has received very little emphasis and for this reason has often not been recognized. Time does not allow a general discussion of electrolyte balance, which has been more than adequately covered by numerous books and papers on the subject. Actually, this great volume of work has made the subject seem unduly complex. In this purely clinical paper I wish to emphasize the facts that low sodium . . .
