The calyces CONGENITAL ANOMALY 311 are well formed, but are exceptionally broad at the apices and minor calyces appear normal in contra-distinction to the marked changes which usually occur withpelvic enlargement with hydronephrosis. The conditionshould not be confused with a dilatation of the pelvis andureter which is of congenital etiology and has been calledcongenital atony of the renal pelvis. This latter conditirjii.
