Venous aortography--a forgotten technique.

A simple technique of venous aortography is described. Eleven patients were examined, 10 with suspected aortic aneurysms. The diagnosis was confirmed in six cases and the relationship of the aneurysm to the renal arteries shown in five of them. Three patients were shown to have a normal aorta. One patient with a suspected saddle embolus was shown to have a normal aorta and iliac arteries. There was one failure but there were no serious complications. The technique is a reliable and simple method of visualising arotic aneurysms, especially if subtraction prints are made.

The diagnosis of renal pseudotumours.

The radiological features of 13 cases of renal pseudotumour due to infolding of the columns of Bertin are presented. 5 of these patients (38%) had partial duplication of the renal pelvis. Pseudotumours show as space-occupying lesions at urography. At angiography they show a clearly defined nephrogram but no abnormal vessels, no pooling of contrast medium and no early venous filling. Radio-isotope scans on 4 cases of pseudotumour showed uptake at the site of the pseudotumour in contrast to cysts and carcinomas which are known to show diminished uptake.
