He had pyuria and an obstructed renal moiety due to a lower ureteric stone. On evaluation, he was found to have a left perirenal hemorrhage. Drainage of the obstructed system was performed and hemorrhage was managed conservatively; in the postoperative period patient remained stable and was discharged.
