A 33-year-old female presented with acute colicky left loin-to-groin pain and microscopic haematuria, with a background of 6 months of muscle and joint pains and
diplopia

ureter
, as it passed over the left common iliac vessels. Arterial and delayed phase imaging revealed an obstructed
ureter
secondary to a left common iliac artery aneurysm, later found to be mycotic. No previous descriptions of a mycotic aneurysm presenting as renal colic have been found in the literature.
