We report a case of an obstructed pelvic kidney which was decompressed using a transosseous access route. The patient presented with obstructive uropathy and fever, necessitating decompression. Initial access was gained to the kidney by traversing the ilium, allowing subsequent retrograde placement of a double-Jureteric catheter.
