AB  - This case illustrates a rare complication of an impacted 
ureteric stone which eroded through the wall of the ureter 
leading to formation of a psoas abscess. Ureteric stent 
placement and percutaneous drainage of the abscess 
were insuffi cient to resolve the problem. Renal scan 
revealed poor function and the left kidney was removed. 
It showed evidence of acute supporative pyelonephritis 
with nephrolithiasis.
