“…An adult presentation is uncommon. Giant ureteral stones reported in the literature are rare: in 1922 Heath [3] described a 15-cm stone weighing 65.8 g; in 1924 Tennant [4] found a 66-gram stone; in 1979 Fagelman [5] described a 11.5-cm stone weighing 126 g and finally in 1992 Sabnis et al [6] reported a 13-cm stone weighing 90 g.…”

We describe a case of a monolateral duplex system and a ureterocele containing a gigantic stone in a 65-year-old woman who presented with pyelonephritis without any previous history of urinary tract infections or stone disease. Stone removal and double left ureteroneocystostomy with plastic widening of a narrowed obstructive side were performed. The ureteral stone measured 10.5 cm in greatest diameter, weighed 85 g and contained calcium oxalates and phosphates. Three months after surgery, radiology (intravenous urography and cystography) showed left unobstructed upper and lower urinary tracts and the absence of vesicoureteral reflux. Urine culture was negative 3, 6 and 9 months after surgery.

“…Once stone is lodged or stuck at any point in the ureter, it may keep increasing in size unless passed spontaneously or with intervention. Some stones can also assume enormous proportions [2], In incomplete duplication of the ureter, to and fro peristalsis of urine from one collecting system to the other may occur. This results in stasis and pyelone phritis and is more pronounced when there is distal Yjunction, when bifid limbs are wide or when the Y-junction is large [1], The stasis and pyelonephritis persisting for a long duration must have led to formation of this giant staghorn calculus in both components of a partially duplicated ureter.…”

We are reporting a young female who presented with a history of right flank pain and urinary tract infection off and on. On investigation, she was found to have a giant fork-shaped ureteral calculus in a bifid ureter. Since her ipsilateral renal unit was nonfunctioning, nephroureterectomy was performed. Such a case of giant staghorn ureteral calculus in a bifid ureter has never been reported in the world literature.

“…There is a higher possibility that nonobstructive calculi are present in such a manner because they produce fewer symptoms. 1 The objective of this report was to highlight the radiological findings and management of a condition resembling steinstrasse or "stone street" in a case of multiple right ureteric calculi.…”

Multiple ureterolithiasis resembling steinstrasse: An unusual presentation

et al. 2014

a b s t r a c tSteinstrasse or "stone street" is an expected complication after extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy in patients with high stone burden. However, there are published reports of multiple ureterolithiasis resembling steinstrasse in patients with distal renal tubular acidosis. Here we report an uncommon case of a 60-year-old woman who presented with right renal calculi. Her right ureter was studded with multiple calculi up to the vesicoureteric junction. The affected right kidney was nonfunctional and was managed by nephroureterectomy.
