Introduction: Retroperitoneal infection is a rare cause of pneumomediastinum. Emphysematous pyelonephritis (EPN) has been reported as an extremely rare cause of pneumomediastinum.
Presentation Of Case: A 62-year-old male with a bladder mass developed obstructive uropathy, necessitating the insertion of bilateral nephrostomies and a pigtail catheter to drain a collection between the liver and right kidney.
Retrograde intussusception may occur following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery with a variety of presentations including colicky abdominal pain, constipation, and vomiting. A rare manifestation of this complication is upper gastrointestinal bleeding (hematemesis) which can cause misdiagnosis.

Purpose: To describe the correlation between lumbar lordosis angle and functional status of patients with chronic mechanical low back pain (CMLBP).
Overview Of Literature: There are different and conflicting opinions regarding the relationship between the degree of lumbar lordosis and functional status of patients with low back pain.
Background: Osteoarthritis is the most intervening factors in producing mechanical low back pain (LBP). We aimed to evaluate the correlation between radiologic signs of osteoarthritis and functional status in patients with chronic mechanical LBP.
Methods: Severity of osteoarthritis and disability were evaluated with Kellgren and Lawrence Grading Scale (K&L) by simple lumbar X-ray and Oswestry Disability Questionnaire (ODQ) respectively.
