Intermittent UPJO caused by stool

Saw this case today, it was very interesting. Family had a child post pyeloplasty that was complaining of intermittent acute flank / abdo pain. Every time the pain occurred they would go to the emergency room and get a noncontrast CT to rule out kidney stones. This continued until I called the EM doc and requested a pyeloplasty instead, which demonstrated stool compressing the ureter.

Has anybody else seen a case like this? They really don't ever train you for this
