An obstructing calculus, present in the distal left ureter at the level of S1, measures 10 mm in maximal dimension. There is severe left hydroureteronephrosis and associated left perinephric fat stranding. In addition, there is a nonobstructing 6-mm left renal calculus in the interpolar region. (Image courtesy of Dr. Stuart Silverman, Brigham and Women’s Hospital.)
