Dietl crisis: Presentation and imaging findings in a 7-year-old boy.

Intermittent ureteropelvic junction obstruction, or Dietl crisis, is a rare entity with sparse reports in published literature. Establishing the diagnosis is challenging given its intermittent nature. We report a case of Dietl crisis, focusing on ultrasound (US) and magnetic resonance urography (MRU) findings in a 7-year-old boy with recurrent episodes of colicky abdominal pain prompting multiple visits to the emergency department.
