Ureteric Obstruction by Shotgun Pellet Pellet Colic""
Acute renal colic from retained missiles is an unusual and interesting delayed complication
of missile injuries to the abdomen. It must be considered in patients who present with symptoms
of renal colic following gunshot and shotgun wounds with retained missiles. We report a case
of acute ureteral obstruction secondary to a migrating intraluminal projectile 3 days after a shotgun
wound to the back.
