Computed tomography scan of the abdomen showed acute pancreatitis with partial impingement of superior mesenteric vein.Conclusion: Imaging s showed cholelithiasis without evidence of cholecystitis and lower pole right renal infarct likely secondary to obstruction of the right lower renal artery due to calcified plaques at their origin from the aorta.
