[Sonography and phlebography in the investigation of the suprarenals (author's transl)].

Twelve patients were examined by sonography and phlebography; of these, ten had suprarenal tumours and two suprarenal hyperplasia. The value of sonography and its place compared with radiological examinations is discussed. Sonography is an informative method of screening and should be employed whenever there is clinical suspicion of enlargement of the suprarenals before other radiological methods are used.
