Urine ascites usually presents at birth or shortly thereafter and is associated with a high overall mortality rate. Posterior urethral valves are the most common obstructive lesions. Prompt recognition is vital if the survival rate is to be improved. Two unusual cases of urine ascites are presented. A stillborn premature infant with imperforate anus and massive ascites showed radiologic evidence of peritoneal calcification. A prepartum diagnosis could have been made from the radiographs of the maternal abdomen. The second case is unique in the presentation of urine ascites caused by a presacral neuroblastoma that produced bladder outlet obstruction and perforation.

A pancreatic pseudocyst was delineated using a multiple radionuclide technic. A liver scan using 99mTc sulfur colloid demonstrated extrinsic pressure upon the inferior aspect of the liver. An abdominal blood pool scan using 99mTc pertechnetate outlined the mass exerting the pressure upon the liver. The diagnosis of pancreatic pseudocyst was suggested from these studies. The technic of the studies and the use in evaluating extrahepatic masses are discussed.
