title: Vanishing "ureterohydronephrosis" on technetium-99m-MDP bone scanning.
abstract: Finding a marked bilateral renal and ureteral activity on a bone scan has been regarded as being highly specific for bilateral ureterohydronephrosis. We report here on a patient in whom this finding was not confirmed by repeated bone scanning and in whom subsequent radiologic and ultrasound examination proved normal. The possible mechanisms involved in this vanishing "ureterohydronephrosis" are discussed.
