A stent register should be maintained to check follow-up of such patient to prevent this urological travesty. Case Report: We are reporting a case of encrustation and unusual large stones formation at both the J end of a forgotten double-J stent in a 35-year-old female presented in our outpatient department for complaints of left flank and lower abdominal pain, burning and increased frequency of micturition for four months. Conclusion:Indwelling stents can result in complications such as encrustation, pyelonephritis, recurrent obstruction, and stent migration and breakage so their use should be done with caution.
