[Echotomography and excretory urography in the diagnosis of renal parenchymal "bridges"].
Sonographically detectable parenchymal 'bridges' in the median segment of the kidney may look atypical. The most incident parenchymal 'bridges' are asymmetric irregular ovoid incomplete connections, not reaching the parenchyma at the site of renal hilus; such 'bridges' may be compared to a 'humpbacked' overturned kidney. Besides that, double and Y-shaped connections were detected, occurring in different variants of fused kidneys. Clinical significance of atypical 'bridges' of the parenchyma consists in simulation by them of echomixed processes, of renal tumors first of all. Excretory urography should be the second stage of the diagnosis after initial ultrasonic examination of the kidneys; after it repeated pointed ultrasonography should be carried out, that will help rule out the diagnosis of a renal tumor.
