Pyelography (pyelo-ureterography) a study of the normal and pathologic anatomy of the renal pelvis and ureter . Fig. 20.—Normal pelvis. THE NORMAL PELVIS 57 not infrequently seen. It is more apt to occur with theupper calyx, and may be regarded as the result of partialreduplication of the pelvis. In Fig. 20 the upper calyx isconnected with the true pelvis by a long, narrow isthmuswhich extends upward an unusual distance. In Fig. 21a similar extension of the isthmus exists in the upper ma-jor calyx of the left kidney. In Fig. 22 the upper major. Fig. 21.—Normal pelvis. calyx is markedly elongat

Fig. 21.—Normal pelvis. calyx is markedly elongated, and the irregularity of thepelvis is such that it might easily be confused with de-formity caused by tumor retraction. Fig. 23 illustrates,in the left pelvis, an extension of the upper major calyx andan unusual branching of the lower major, the middle calyxbeing rudimentary and but a branch of the lower the right renal pelvis both the lower and upper calyces 58 PYELOGRAPHY
