title: Pelvi-calyceal cast formation following silver nitrate treatment for chyluria.
abstract: A case of chyluria is reported in which anuria followed instillation of 3% silver nitrate into the collecting system of both kidneys, with unusual radiographic features. Plain radiographic, ultrasound and computed tomographic findings are discussed. To the best of the authors' knowledge this has not been previously described in the literature.
