“…Based on associated urinary tract infection, the majority of BSs have mixed composition (1,7). Accordingly, struvite (ammonium magnesium phosphate) and calcium oxalate are commonly found in these patients with and without urinary tract infection (7). In addition, calcium oxalate and uric acid stones are prevalent in these patients (6).…”

This is the presentation of a 19-month-old female admitted for recurrent lower urinary tract infection. Renal ultrasound and computed tomography showed a round bladder stone with no associated abnormality. Open cystolithotomy was performed, and a large bladder stone, measured 3.2 x 2 x 3.2 cm, and composed of magnesium ammonium phosphate (struvite) was removed. To the best of our research, this is the youngest patient, involved with a large struvite bladder stone.

A 53-year-old man presented with lower urinary tract symptoms and recurrent urinary tract infections since last 3 years without being investigated or treated properly. Examination revealed a hard mobile lump in the pelvis, and blood investigations showed raised serum creatinine of 2.9 mg/dL. Subsequent urgent ultrasound scan showed a large urinary bladder stone with bilateral hydroureteronephrosis, and X-ray kidney, ureter and bladder demonstrated a 9 cm×6 cm elliptical radio-opaque shadow in the pelvis. He underwent emergency admission followed by open cystolithotomy on the next day. He was discharged after 48 hours with a urethral catheter. After 2 weeks, his renal function recovered completely; repeat ultrasound scan revealed complete resolution of hydronephrosis. Urethral catheter was removed following a normal cystogram. Uroflowmetry after 6 weeks revealed underlying bladder outlet obstruction, and he was started on alpha blocker which improved his urinary flow.
