A ten-year-old girl was referred to a pediatric surgical unit because of intermittent right flank pain and episodic vomiting over a period of four months. The pain episodes were described as dull and colicky, sometimes radiating to the lower abdomen, and occasionally associated with decreased appetite. She had been treated multiple times for suspected urinary tract infection at local clinics, although urine cultures were repeatedly negative.
