Renal/GU - Pyonephrosis in Setting of Proximal Ureteral Stone
Caption
This patient presented with fever and flank pain with a known history of medullary nephrocalcinosis. Here we can see internal echoes within the dilated collecting system consistent with pyonephrosis. A large stone can be seen in the proximal ureter as a hyperechoic line with posterior shadowing.
