A pain in the neck -- an unexpected complication of transrectal ultrasound and biopsy.

S Agrawal1, K Patil, W D Dunsmuir.   

Abstract

In the UK, over 26 000 cases of prostate cancer are diagnosed annually, with many more patients undergoing investigation. Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing and its interpretation has always been controversial. Many patients undergo PSA-driven biopsies, which can cause significant morbidity. We report an unusual but severe complication following transrectal ultrasound and biopsy.
