Case ReportsSacral nerve stimulation for pain relief in interstitial cystitis.
A 60-year-old woman was treated for severe interstitial cystitis pain using sacral nerve stimulation. Pain and accompanying bladder dysfunction were improved by temporary and permanent sacral nerve stimulation. Six months after implantation of a sacral neuromodulator the patient is pain free and significantly improved on bladder dysfunction. Interstitial cystitis may be an indication for functional electrostimulation.

Case ReportsMassive hematuria in adults with Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome associated with vascular malformation of the bladder.
Although hematuria has been reported in children with Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome, it is a rare presentation in the adult population. Two cases of massive hematuria in adults with Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome are reported here. ⋯ The clinical presentation and management are discussed. Conservative endoscopic and arteriographic control seems to be appropriate as initial management in these patients.
