ANATOMIC AND MORPHOLOGIC DESCRIPTION OF THE RENAL PELVIS OF THE HORSE USING MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING OF POLYMER CASTS, URETEROPYELOSCOPY, AND HISTOLOGY By Santiago Garcia Pasquel Descriptions of the equine renal pelvis in textbooks are inconsistent and unsuitable for guiding ureteropyeloscopy. To document the anatomy of the upper urinary collecting system of the horse, specifically the renal ...

We report an extremely rare case of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the renal pelvis associated with an incompletely duplicated renal pelvis and ureter. A 71-year-old woman presented with left lower back pain and gross hematuria. Urinary cytology showed atypical squamous cells. Computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and retrograde pyelography revealed left incompletely duplicated rena...

We present a 55-year old male patient who was subjected to whole body skeletal scintigraphy for metastatic work up of urinary bladder cancer. Whole body 99mTc-methylene diphosphonate (MDP) skeletal scintigraphy was performed. That revealed no skeletal metastasis in the entire body skeleton and normally visualized left kidney with empty right renal fossa. Additionally tracer activity ...

AIMS To ascertain the outcome associated with antenatal renal pelvis dilatation; to recommend guidelines for postnatal investigation and determine an upper limit of normal for the anterioposterior dimensions of the fetal renal pelvis. METHODS Infants whose antenatal ultrasound scan showed a fetal renal pelvis of 5 mm or greater were investigated using postnatal renal tract ultrasound and a mi...

Obstructive uropathy is defined as structural obstruction to urine flow along the urinary tract. It can lead to dilatation of renal pelvis and calyces. (1). However renal pelvis can be dilated without obstruction. Therefore hydronephrosis and dilated renal pelvis are not synonymous terms. The damage to renal tissue caused by these conditions often leads to obstructive nephropathy contributing t...
