    AbstractThe diagnosis and management of obstructing nephrolithiasis by emergency physicians has undergone great advancements in the past few years. No longer do all patients with suspected renal colic need a CT scan and an immediate urology consult. In this case presentation, we present a classic case of obstructing nephrolithiasis along with the associated point-of-care ultrasound images. We will walk with the reader through a series of questions and answers discussing the patient's diagnosis based on the most current evidence-based recommendations.© Author(s) (or their employer(s)) 2020.
