Description
Four cases of RF diagnosed in the last three years, are reported. Gold standard methods of diagnosis at present are CT and MRI. CT scan shows isodense mass involving the aorta and inferior cava vein as well as ureteral compression. MRI shows a fibrotic plaque hypointense in T1, surrounding the large vessels. Treatment of RF, primary or idiopathic, aims at resolving ureteral obstruction, restoring renal function and preventing infections. (author)
