Whilethe plate was being developed, the bariumenema was given and the fluoroscope re-vealed the transverse colon neither dis-placed downward, as it should be by alarge gall-bladder, nor was the hepaticflexure displaced downward, as might beexpected from a kidney tumor. In fact,the bowel crossed in front of the plate revealed a typical kidney stone,filling the pelvis and calyces. After a ca-thartic, stereoscopic dorsal plates of thekidney confirmed the diagnosis of stonein the pelvis of the kidney. Later morecareful urinary analysis gave confirmatoryfindings of blood and pus taken by cathe-ter from the right ureter. The left side wasfree from stone. The pyonephrotic kidney,not having had any function, was re-moved. s;^?|>
