[Computer tomography and retroperitoneal fibrosis (Ormond's disease) (author's transl)]. 1979

M Haertel, and J Bollmann, and P Vock, and E Zingg

Four patients with retroperitoneal fibrosis (Ormond's disease) were examined by computer tomography; the appearances are described and the differential diagnosis discussed. Computer tomography clearly defines the proliferative-inflammatory process and together with conventional radiology, angiography and lymphangiography it permits a presumptive diagnosis of retroperitoneal fibrosis. The non-invasive nature of computer tomography makes it the method of choice for follow-up of this disease.
