Imaging diagnosis - Left retrocaval ureter and transposition of the caudal vena cava in a dog

Abstract

Retrocaval ureter and transposition of the caudal vena cava are each, rare developmental anomalies. We describe the usefulness of static fluid magnetic resonance urography and dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance urography in the diagnosis of these anomalies. Basic techniques, benefits, and drawbacks of magnetic resonance urography are presented. © Copyright 2010 by the American College of Veterinary Radiology.
