 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 7 CT diagnosis of idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis in 8 cases [Abstract] [Objective] To investigate idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis performance and diagnostic CT. [Methods] Retrospective analysis of CT examination and confirmed by pathology in 8 cases of patients with retroperitoneal fibrosis CT image data, 6 males, 2 females. and discussed with relevant literature. [Results] 8 cases of patients with retroperitoneal fibrosis on CT appeared as irregular retroperitoneal mass surrounding the abdominal aorta, with mild to moderate enhancement. associated with the surrounding tissue embedding , unilateral or bilateral ureteral expansion of hydronephrosis. [Conclusion] idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis onset occult, specifically of the early clinical manifestations, CT examination of idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis has important diagnostic value . [Keywords:] retroperitoneal fibrosis, CT, diagnosis Abstract: [Objective] To evaluate and describe CT findings in patients with pathologically confirmed retroperitoneal fibrosis. [Methods] CT findings in 8 patients (6 males, 2 females) pathologically confirmed retroperitoneal fibrosis were retrospectively reviewed and pertinent literature was discussed. [Results] Retroperitoneal fibrosis showed similar features in CT imaging: retroperitoneal irregular mass around abdominal aorta embedding adjacent tissue, with mild or moderate enhancement, unilateral or bibateral ureterectasis with hydronephrosis. [Conclusions] The pristine clinical manifestation of retroperitoneal fibrosis is occult and nonspecific. CT examination is a valuable approach to diagnose retroperitoneal fibrosis.
