When the ureter leaves the pelvis fromits lateral border, it may be inferred that either a horseshoekidney or an anomalous rotation exists. In Fig. 19 theright ureter leaves the pelvis in a lateral and cephalic di-rection, while the left leaves in a lateral and caudad di-rection. 72 PYELOGRAPHY The angle formed by the ureter

In Fig. 19 theright ureter leaves the pelvis in a lateral and cephalic di-rection, while the left leaves in a lateral and caudad di-rection. 72 PYELOGRAPHY The angle formed by the ureter with the lower surfaceof the pelvis is usually broad and rounded. When theangle is acute, it indicates either marked rotation as theresult of renal excursion or pelvic dilatation. In Fig. 39the angle between the ureter and the lower border of thepelvis (particularly on the left side) is acute. This is dueto the position of the kidney, since the pelvis itself is
