However, the general contourof the calyces is irregularly rounded and the ureter showsmoderate irregular dilatation, both of which are the resultof infection. The condition is an infected early hydro-nephrosis. Occasionally it may be of practical value to determineclinically the actual cause of the constriction of the upperureter. A contour of the hydronephrotic sac has been fre-quently noted peculiar to constriction caused by an anom-alous renal blood-vessel. The majority of anomalousblood-vessels which constrict the upper ureter enter thelower pole of the kidney. In doing so they cross the ureterseveral centimeters below the ureteropelvic juncture. Inthe subsequent dilatation the pelvis dilates to a greater ex-tent than the upper ureter. Consequently the generalcontour of the resulting sac will be pyriform. In Fig. 86the general contour of the pelvis is irregularly upper ureter is distin
