The renal halo sign in pancreatitis
Journal Article
·
· Radiology; (United States)
Three cases of pancreatitis are presented in which the diagnosis can be suggested by the appearance of a distinct radiolucent halo about the left kidney on the plain radiograph of the abdomen. This halo is produced by apparent enhancement of the perirenal fat by an adjacent retroperitoneal exudate in the left anterior pararenal space, as demonstrated by subsequent abdominal computed tomographic scans. Although striking in appearance, the sign may be ignored if its significance is not understood.
