GU Flashcards
retroperitoneum –> soft tissue mass –> surround aorta/IVC –> retroperitoneal fibrosis vs malig LAD –> how differentiate?
retroperitoneal fibrosis –> rarely displace aorta away from spine
retroperitoneal hemorrhage –> CT –> w vs w/o IV contrast –> pros?
- w/o –> rapidly image pt
- w –> may detect actie extrav

- von Hippel-Lindau
extra-adrenal paraganglioma –> MC location?
organ of Zuckerkandl –> along aortic bifurcation to level of bladder
post-micturition syncope –> ddx? (1)
extra-adrenal paraganglioma involving bladder
extra-adrenal pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma –> potential NM studies? (3)
- Iodine-123 MIBG
- Indium-111 pentetreotide scintigraphy

- jugular foramen
- carotid body
- vagus N
- glomus tympanicum
- glomus jugulare
- carotid body tumor
- glomus vagale
pheochromocytoma –> MRI sign?
“light bulb” sign –> marked T2 hyper
adrenal gland –> masses arising from adrenal medulla? (4)
- pheochromocytoma
- neuroblastic tumors: ganglioneuroma, ganglioneuroblastoma, neuroblastoma
absent nephrogram –> ddx? (3)
- acute renal A/V occlusion
- chronic ureteral obstruct
- congenital/acquired renal dz –> nonfxing nephrons
what is bilat persistent nephrogram? ddx? (5)
both kidneys –> retain contrast >3min –> delayed urine excrete:
- systemic hypotension
- acute tubular necrosis
- bilat obstructive uropathy
- contrast nephropathy
- proteinuria –> ie. myeloma kidney
unilat delayed nephrogram –> ddx? (4)
- acute ureteral obstruct
- renal A stenosis
- renal V thrombosis/compression
- acute pyelonephritis
unilat prolonged (hyperdense) nephrogram –> ddx? (3)
- acute ureter obstruct
- renal A stenosis
- renal V thrombosis/compression
unilat striated nephrogram –> ddx? (6)
- acute urinary obstruct
- acute pyelonephritis
- renal infarct
- renal V thrombosis/vasculitis
- renal contusion
- acute rad tx
bilat striated nephrogram –> ddx? (5)
- acute urinary obstruct
- acute pyelonephritis
- acute tubular necrosis
- hypotension
- autosomal recessive polycystic kidney dz (ARPKD)
kidney –> excretory phase –> extra-calyceal contrast –> ddx? (3)
- tubular ectasia/medullary sponge kidney
- calyceal diverticulum
- papillary necrosis
what is medullary sponge kidney
tubular ectasia w assoc calcs of renal medullary pyramids
unilat enlrg kidney –> ddx? (4)
- pyelonephritis
- acute ureteral obstruct
- renal V thrombosis
- compensatory hypertrophy
what is Weigert-Meyer rule?
duplicated collecting system:
- upper pole ureter –> ectopic insert (med/inf) –> ureterocele, obstruct (upper obstructs)
- lower pole –> normal insert (lat/sup) –> reflux (lower refluxes)
medullary nephrocalcinosis –> causes? (6) MCC?
- # 1 hyperPTH
- renal tubular acidosis type 1
- medullary sponge kidney
- papillary necrosis
- child –> furosemide/lasix tx
cortical nephrocalcinosis –> causes? (6)
- acute cortical necrosis
- chronic glomerulonephritis
- chronic transplant reject
- hyperoxaluria
- Alport synd
- autosomal recessive polycystic kidney dz (ARPKD)
kidney –> cortical necrosis –> MOA?
small vessel vasospasm or systemic hypotension –> acute ischemia
