Abstract
Twenty-two cases of thickened renal fascia diagnosed by i.v. urography and/or CT scan
are summarized. In 15 cases the pathological process was renal and in the other 7
it was non-renal. The anatomy of the retroperitoneal compartments has been reviewed.
The authors wish to stress that thickened renal fascia is not only a valuable sign
in locating renal pathology, but is also very useful in diagnosing retroperitoneal
pathology
