Judging from the caudad direction ofthe calyces, the kidney has rotated laterally. The true pel-vis is dilated and evenly rounded from mechanical obstruc-tion. The major calyces are greatly enlarged, and are evi- MECHANICAL DILATATION 115 dently narrower at the base. The ureter is seen to be verytortuous below the ureteropelvic juncture, and evidentlyleaves the pelvis posteriorly and from below instead of ina median direction. In Fig. 84 the greatly dilated major calyces are visible,with a distinctly pyramidal enlargement, broad at the
