"The term renal colic refers to poorly localised, dull or aching pain in the costovertebral angle or flank without radiation and is due to obstruction at the pelviureteric junction (PUJ). This term is sometimes inaccurately used to include ureteric colic."
"Ureteric colic refers to a pattern of abdominal pain caused by ureteric obstruction. The pain is felt in the ipsilateral loin radiating to the groin and is typically colicky (i.e. coming in waves) corresponding to peristalsis or spasm of the ureter. Obstruction is most often due to ureteric calculi; other causes include blood clot, sloughed papilla (e.g. sickle cell disease), tumour, stricture or oedema."
