Teenager with right flank pain when drinking large amounts of soda pop

IVP of retrocaval ureter
AP image from the excretory phase of a vintage intravenous pyelogram (left) shows a normal left renal collecting system and left ureter and an extremely dilated right renal collecting system. Magnified views of the right ureteropelvic junction (right above and right below) show a sharp kink at the right ureteropelvic junction.

The diagnosis was retrocaval ureter causing right ureteropelvic junction obstruction.
