“…Less than 20 cases of giant prostatic calculi have been reported in the English literature. They occur more frequently in younger men, unlike microscopic prostatic calculi, which are usually seen in men above the age of 50 [3]. Patients can present with lower urinary tract symptoms, urinary retention, pain, and urethral strictures [3].…”

Giant prostatic urethral stones have been reported as a very rare entity, and the etiology of these stones is not clear. We report a case of a 40-year-old man with giant multiple prostatic urethral stones whereby the entire gland was replaced, and a big ureteral stone presented with voiding difficulty and recurrent urinary tract infections. In the literature, to our knowledge, this is the youngest case wherein giant prostatic urethral stones coexisted with a big ureteral stone. Many different-sized stones were observed endoscopically, some protruding into the urethra, and some filling different cavities on the prostate. Following cystoscopy, multiple giant prostatic stones weighing a total of 151 g were removed by the open retropubic route. We treated the big ureteral stone endoscopically.

Prostatic parenchymal calculi are common in ageing men who are evaluated for benign prostatic hyperplasia or prostate cancer. Giant prostatic calculi are very rare, usually associated with local predisposing factors for urinary stasis and infections, and traditionally managed by open surgery. We present the first case of its kind to be associated with a concurrent staghorn nephrolithiasis, and removed successfully by endoscopic approach using an access sheath through the urethra.

They occur more frequently in younger men and are usually symptomatic, with lower urinary tract symptoms, urinary retention and pain being the common presentations 3. Stress urinary incontinence has rarely been reported as the presenting symptom of large prostatic stones before.…”

“…Factors held responsible for large prostatic stones are recurrent infections, prostatic urethral dilation combined with urinary stasis and intraprostatic reflux that may cause chemical prostatitis leading to prostate atrophy and stone formation 2 5 6. Large prostatic stones have been reported following open retropubic prostatectomy, urethral stricture and rarely in neurogenic bladder patients 3 7…”

Stress urinary incontinence as a rare presentation of large prostatic stones in neurogenic bladder: implications and management

SUMMARYWe report a case of a 38-year-old man with a background of a neglected neurogenic bladder, who presented with a recent onset history of stress urinary incontinence. He was diagnosed as having large prostatic stones along with a low-compliance, small capacity bladder and bilateral hydronephrosis with deranged renal functions. As self-catheterisation was not possible due to obstructing prostatic stones, holmium-YAG laser lithotripsy of prostatic stones was performed as initial procedure that resulted in complete resolution of stress incontinence as well. Successful gastrocystoplasty was performed as a second step to deal with the underlying condition of neurogenic poorly compliant bladder. The present case describes the successful endoscopic management of prostatic calculi using holmium-laser lithotripsy and draws attention to other important issues that need to be addressed in certain special situations like neurogenic bladder.
