“…The presence of stone in the bilharzial ureter should not necessarily suggest that a distal stricture is present. Saad and Hanafy (1974) have suggested that many of these calculi are caused, not by chronic stasis, but by crystalloids being trapped in areas of cystic change in the ureteric epithelium. These then grow and are shed into the ureteric lumen as calculi.…”

In a study of 115 ureters showing chronic bilharzial changes, 4 main patterns of ureteropathy are defined. Type A is benign, shows mild fusiform dilatation localised to the distal ureteric segment and requires no surgery. Type B presents with distal ureteric stricture, without extensive fibrosis, is rare, and shows good results following resection and ureterovesical reimplantation. Type C shows extensive bilharzial changes without stricture and is difficult to evaluate unless fluoroscopy is added to standard urographic investigation. If peristaltic dysfunction is severe, these ureters will require placement with an ileal segment. Type D ureteropathy presents with fixed tortuosity, mainly in the upper ureteric segment, and conservative surgery, involving freeing and straightening the entire ureter, has shown good results. Staging the presenting ureteropathy has proved valuable in evaluation and follow-up.

“…The presence of a stone in a bilharzial ureter should not be taken as evidence of a stricture distal to the stone. S. M. Saad and H. M. Hanafy have suggested that some calculi are caused by crystalloids trapped in areas of cystic change in the ureteral epithelium 11 These grow and eventually they may shed into the lumen of the ureter as calculi. We believe that one of our cases demonstrates such developing but undelivered calculi.…”

Clinical PictureAs described in Genitourinary Schistosomiasis (Bilharziasis) Part 1, the life of the Schistosoma haematobium begins in stagnant waters where the parasite lays its eggs. During the warm hours of the day the egg swells, ruptures, and releases a miracidium which then penetrates a specific species of snail, the Bulinus. Having penetrated the snail, it becomes a sporocyst and, by repeated budding, gives rise to a second generation of daughter sporocysts. Cercariae by the thousands are produced by the sporocysts and liberated from the snails. Unless these free-swimming cercariae can penetrate the skin or mucous membrane of a human host within seven days, they will die.Irritative dermatitis may result around the area of the cercariae's penetration.
