An x-ray scout demonstrates an abnormal radiodense stone noted at the proximal left ureteric course. Bilateral abnormal gas densities are seen at the inguinal regions that suggest possible bowel content of the inguinal canals.
A non-contrast CT confirmed left ureteric stone with upstream dilatation consistent with obstruction. Bilateral inguinal hernias contain bowel loops and omental fat.
