Retroperitoneal fibrosis: evaluation by ultrasonography and color Doppler imaging.
Delay in diagnosis is common in retroperitoneal fibrosis because of the non-specific clinical presentation. Ultrasonography combined with color Doppler imaging is a rapid and practical method in the early diagnosis and during follow-up. We describe 3 cases with retroperitoneal fibrosis, emphasizing the ultrasonographic and color Doppler features of the disease.
