Giant bladder stone: A case report

Abstract

Giant bladder stones are rare in younger patients. Herein, we report a case of acute renal failure in a 31-year-old male with a giant bladder stone. The patient presented with lower urinary tract symptoms and urinary retention with milky-white urine. An emergency suprapubic cystotomy was performed and an 11-cm oval, solid stone was removed. Post-operative creatinine levels progressively decreased to normal and the patient exhibited smooth urination and good recovery at follow-up. A comprehensive physical examination and thorough investigation of the patient's medical history are required during clinical evaluation, diagnosis and treatment, thus preventing misdiagnoses and ensuring prompt treatment.

Huge single bladder stone: A case report from Leku general hospital, Sidama, Ethiopia

“…(1,2) There are different predisposing factors which are baseline cause for development of urinary bladder caliculi.Bladder outlet obstruction especially in aged patients due to benign prostatic hyperplasia and urethral stricture.Chronic urinary retension,recurrent urinary tract infection are also predisposing conditions for bladder calculi .These all may lead to concentrated residual urine and predispose to stone formation. (3,4) Bladder stones are mostly associated with renal or ureteral calculi, and they rarely ever occur without associated upper urinary tract calculi, as in our patient. There was also environmental and lifestyle associations of bladder stone formation.…”

“…Urinary stones of up to 5 mm of diameter are known to pass spontaneously through the urinary tract; whereas those exceeding 7 mm of diameter almost always require surgical intervention. (2,3) The incidence of bladder stones among younger patients is low and that of large stones is rare. The formation of a large stone occurs over a long period of time and it may be complicated by concurrent serious infections, requiring open surgery for stone removal.This case report is a young man with huge bladder stone with preceding recurrent urinary tract infection and treated locally by oral medications.This delayed him to present to our set up atleast which had imaging services for better diagnosis of such cases.…”

A case report of a giant bladder stone (12 × 8 cm, 610 g)

“…Bladder stones exceeding 100 g in weight are infrequent in contemporary urology, especially in developed countries such as those in Europe and the United States [ [10] , [11] ]. Several studies have showed largest bladder stone cases of largest bladder stones remains higher in developing countries and countries with ow income [12] , [13] , [14] , [15] , [16] .
