Résumé
A clinical observation was made on the non-visualizing kidney of the in-patient in the Department of Urology, Capital Armed Forces General Hospital during the period from September, 1976 to December, 1981 and the following results were observed. 1. Of 1287 cases hospitalized, IVP was performed on 292 cases. Among these, 36 cases revealed non- visualizing kidney giving a rate of 12.3%. 2. The sex ratio between male and female was 8:1 and age distribution ranged from 1 to 66 years. 3. The clinical symptoms and signs were hematuria, flank pain, frequency, lower abdominal pain, and abdominal palpable mass in order. 4. The causes of non-visualizing kidney was classified as renal parenchymal and obstructive disease. Renal tuberculosis (9 cases) was the most frequent cause among the disease of parenchymal origin, and the calculus disease of the urinary track (5 cases) and hydronephrosis not caused by calculi (5 cases) were the most frequent cause among the disease of obstructive origin. 5. Surgery was performed in 29 cases (80.1%) and remaining 7 cases were managed conservatively.

Scrotal scan is a new diagnostic method for accurate and reliable interpretation of varicocele. Method of diagnosing the varicocele, including careful physical examination using a Valsalva maneuver as well as a Doppler stethoscope, remain somewhat subjective. Venography, while a reliable and objective technique, is invasive and not without morbidity. In the present study, 25 patients with clinically detectable varicoceles of various. sizes were studied preoperatively and postoperatively by scrotal scan using 99rn Tc-labeled human serum albumin in the Department of Urology, Capital Armed Forces General Hospital during the period from October 1981 to June 1982. Information from scrotal radionuclide image was well correlated with the clinical and the venographic findings. Scrotal scan is a useful method for the detection of varicocele and follow up after varicocelectomy.
