History: A forty-year-old woman with a history of pain in the left flank of three months’ duration was admitted. The pain, a dull ache, was intermittent. However, a week prior to admission, after the intravenous pyelogram had been done elsewhere, she experienced severe left renal colic type of pain radiating from loin to groin which lasted for a few hours and regressed spontaneously. She had no history of dysuria, hematuria, fever with chills, or previous surgery. She did mention that occasionally during the last two years she had passed some small white pieces per urethra. She was a housewife and did not have any household pets. |
