    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Trauma Surgery

    Background:

    • Ureteral obstruction is a common urological condition, typically caused by kidney stones.
    • Foreign bodies in the urinary tract can lead to significant complications.

    Observation:

    • This report details a rare instance of acute ureteral obstruction.
    • The obstruction was caused by buckshot, a type of shotgun pellet.

    Findings:

    • The patient presented with symptoms consistent with acute ureteral obstruction.
    • The management approach for buckshot-induced obstruction was comparable to that for ureteral calculi.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of considering unusual foreign bodies in the differential diagnosis of ureteral obstruction.
    • Standard urological interventions may be effective for managing rare causes of ureteral blockage.
