The authors report two cases of renal pneumatisation immediately following renal artery embolisation performed for carcinoma of the kidney. The particularly painful and inflammatory (high fever, leucocytosis, increased sedimentation rate) led to abdominal X-rays which revealed signs of gas in the kidney. In the first case this consisted of rounded clear areas distributed in a linear fashion and indicative of intravascular pneumatisation. In case n degrees 2, intravascular pneumatisation was accompanied by gas in the calyces. In the absence of suppuration and of proven infectious cause, the authors failed to find any explanation for the presence of gas bubbles in the vessels and calyces of the embolised kidney.
作者报告了两例肾动脉栓塞术治疗肾癌后立即出现肾气化的病例。特别疼痛和炎症反应（高热、白细胞增多、血沉加快）导致进行腹部X线检查，结果显示肾脏有气体征象。第一例中，气体表现为呈线性分布的圆形透亮区，提示血管内气化。在第二例中，血管内气化伴有肾盏积气。在没有化脓且未证实有感染原因的情况下，作者未能找到栓塞肾脏血管和肾盏中出现气泡的任何解释。
