Although in-completely distended, the true pelvis is apparently well di- INFLAMMATORY DILATATION 155 lated. The extent of the dilatation in the upper ureter isnot apparent because of incomplete distention. 4. Dilatation Predominant in the Ureter.—When the di-latation is predominant in the ureter, the outline of thepelvis is either but slightly dilated or is contracted. De-crease in size of the pelvic outline frequently accompaniesinfection, which is largely confined to the renal parenchyma,
