Abstract
The ultrasonic appearance of retroperitoneal fibrosis in humans is characterized by a smooth-bordered and relatively echo-free mass anterior to the sacral promontory. Sonography can be used to confirm the diagnosis, follow response to therapy and to detect hydronephrotic changes in the kidneys.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
