Abstract

We report the computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in a patient with peripelvic and perirenal lymphangiectasia associated with bilateral renal vein thrombosis. CT scanning revealed multiple hypodense masses in the bilateral peripelvic and perirenal space, and on MR images, these masses had a multiple cystic appearance, with low signal intensity on T1-weighted and high signal intensity on T2-weighted images. CT, MR, and renal angiography failed to visualize bilateral renal veins, though serpigi-nous collateral veins were seen in the perirenal spaces.
