title: [Computed x-ray tomography in the detection of venous extension in renal cancer].
abstract: With reference to eleven cases of renal cancer with involvement of the inferior vena cava, CT semeiology of this venous complication is detailed. Furthermore, the authors suggest that the images are capable of a pathological interpretation which may indicate whether the obstruction is caused by the tumor or a thrombus. Lastly, the value and limitations of CT scan for detecting caval obstructions associated with renal cancer are analyzed.
