A patient presented with acute pain in the right iliac fossa and was found to have a small stone in the lower ureter of a crossed ectopic right kidney. This unique presentation highlights the potential pitfalls that may occur when assessing an acute pain in the right iliac fossa and reminds the invaluable role of IVP.
