ABSTRACT
In 58 patients with acute recurrent or persistent flank pain, straight x-ray (kidney, ureter, bladder region) detected stones in the urinary tract in 50 cases (86.2%), whereas ultrasonography detected stones in the urinary tract in 55 patients (94.8%). Ultrasound also detected unilateral hydronephrosis in 20 patients (34.48%). The presence of calculus was subsequently proved by intravenous urography/surgery or spontaneous passage. Ultrasonography is safe, quick, reliable and most effective diagnostic tool in such cases in rural areas. Intravenous urogram should be reserved for cases which need surgical intervention.
