Abstract

A CT sign of renal duplicity is described. In kidneys with either bifid renal pelvis or complete duplication of the collecting system, a transverse CT section obtained at the mid pole or junction of the fused upper and lower pole cortical moieties may reveal a "faceless" renal appearance lacking vascular or collecting system elements. Recognition of this finding allows a correct diagnosis of partial or complete duplication of the renal collecting system and prevents a false impression of an intrarenal mass lesion.

摘要

描述了一种肾重复畸形的CT征象。在肾盂双裂或集合系统完全重复的肾脏中，在中极或融合的上下极皮质部分交界处获得的横断CT切片可能显示出缺乏血管或集合系统成分的“无面”肾外观。认识到这一发现有助于正确诊断肾集合系统的部分或完全重复，并防止对肾内肿块病变产生错误印象。
