PURPOSE OF REVIEW
There is a growing understanding of complications and anomalies associated with infantile hemangiomas. The current review will discuss recent clinical advances in syndromes associated with segmental hemangiomas, including PHACE and LUMBAR syndrome. In addition, the importance of recognizing visceral hemangiomatosis is highlighted.
RECENT FINDINGS
Ongoing longitudinal studies of PHACE and LUMBAR syndromes associated with segmental infantile hemangiomas have led to improved diagnosis and recommendations for screening for associated anomalies. Characterization of a growing spectrum of associated anomalies as well as better classification of at-risk patients will improve diagnosis and outcomes. In addition, visceral hemangiomatosis recognition and understanding of the potential association with consumptive hypothyroidism will improve initiation of appropriate screening.
SUMMARY
Clinicians should be aware of infantile hemangiomas associated with potential syndromic complications and recognize the need to initiate appropriate work-up. Segmental hemangiomas of the head and neck region may indicate a risk of PHACE syndrome and associated developmental anomalies. Although LUMBAR syndrome is the association of lower body segmental hemangioma with developmental anomalies. Visceral hemangiomas most commonly affect the liver and may be associated with complications such as consumptive hypothyroidism and heart failure.

Review
The aim of the present review is to give a comprehensive overview of fallopian subtle lesions and suggest the impacts of these abnormalities on fertility. Tubal subtle variations, including tubal diverticula, Morgagni hydatids, accessory fallopian tube, accessory ostium of the fallopian tube, tubal phimosis, agglutination, and sacculation, have been described and cited as making significant contributions to infertility. This review summarizes characteristics of these subtle abnormalities and provides an update of recent knowledge of the diagnosis and management of these variations. We hope that the present contribution may help to bring more attention to the clinical field to recognize these abnormalities and consequently aid in improving fertility.

Review
Urologic emergencies can involve the kidneys, ureters, bladder, urethra, penis, scrotum, or testicles. History and physical examination are essential to diagnosis, whereas imaging is increasingly used to confirm diagnoses. Acute urinary retention should be relieved with Foley placement. Penile emergencies include paraphimosis, which can be treated by foreskin reduction, whereas penile fracture and priapism require urologic intervention. Fournier gangrene and testicular torsion are scrotal emergencies requiring emergent surgery. Nephrolithiasis, although painful, is not an emergency unless there is concern for concomitant urinary tract infection, both ureters are obstructed by stones, or there is an obstructing stone in a solitary kidney.

Review
The diagnosis and management of urologic emergencies are incorporated into the basic training of all urology residents. In institutions without access to urologic services, it is usually left to the General Surgeon or Emergency Medicine physician to provide timely care. This article discusses diagnoses that are important to recognize and treatment that is practically meaningful for the non-Urologist to identify and treat. The non-Urology provider, after reading this article, will have a better understanding and a higher comfort level with treating patients with urologic emergencies.
