Figure 1 —
CT peritoneography (A: coronal reconstruction, B: volume rendering reconstruction) shows dialysis liquid contrasted with iodine filling the peritoneal cavity. Peritoneum herniation through right inguinal canal (discontinuous arrow) forms a clear-cut sac (long arrow) which contains contrast media and the “self-locating” catheter tip (short arrow). Urinary bladder (asterisk) appears enhanced due to renal excretion of iodine.
