DIAGNOSIS OF PERIRENAL AND SUBCAPSULAR MASSES

Abstract
The anatomy and terminology of the structures involved in the compartmentalization of subcapsular and perirenal hematomas and abscesses are defined and clarified. These relationships include the renal capsule, perirenal fat, capsular arteries and renal fascia.The etiology, pathogenesis and clinical features are considered.The specific roentgen features permitting the identification and localization of these processes on plain film roentgenography, urography, nephrotomography and arteriography are described and illustrated.
