In Fig. 59 the pyelogram was madeimmediately after the preceding with the patient in theerect position. Both pelves are seen at the level of the crestof the ilium. In order to correct the anatomic condition it. Fig. 59.—Movable kidney (same as preceding in erect posture). would be necessary to anchor both kidneys. The patientssubjective symptoms were referred largely to the right ab-domen, but the absence of any dilatation in the pelvis orureter and the demonstration of equilateral mobility wouldrender the advisability of operation doubtful. A similar con-dition is demonstrated in Figs. 60 and 61. On abdominal 92 PYELOGRAPHY
