The Oddono's sulcus and its relation to the renal "junctional parenchymal defect" and the "interrenicular septum".

The anatomy responsible for the sonographic diagnosis of the renal "junctional parenchymal defect" and "interrenicular septum" is caused by perirenal fat along a line of incomplete fusion of two primary renal lobes. Studies using CT, MRI and cadaver observations are presented. "Oddono's sulcus" is suggested as a name for the changes in honor of the author who first described these anatomic findings.
