Abstract
CT studies were carried out in 25 patients after alcohol embolisation. It was shown that the embolisation reaches the very periphery of the renal capsule. Nevertheless, contrast enhancement in renal tumours persists, due to capsular and collateral vessels. These subsequently permit further tumour growth. Intratumoral gas could be demonstrated in all patients. In the absence of symptoms, this must be regarded as a normal post-embolic event.
