RESUMO
Urinary tract stones were present in 41 patients out of 54 who presented with recurrent or persistent flank pain. Ultrasound showed pelvicaliceal dilatation in 95.1% of these patients. Ultrasound is a safe, quick, reliable and cost effective diagnostic tool in such cases. Intravenous urography should be reserved for cases which need surgical intervention.
