Intravesical foreign body–induced bladder calculi resulting in obstructive renal failure

Abstract: We report the case of a 30-year-old man who presented with obstructive renal failure and urosepsis due to bladder outlet–obstructing bladder calculi that formed around 3 copper wires that were self-inserted into his urinary bladder 15 years previously. We present the evaluation, imaging and management of the unique complications resulting from the self-insertion of an intra-vesical foreign body. Our patient’s case was unique for 2 reasons. First, the length of time (15 yr) from foreign body insertion to presen… Show more

“…It can lead to supersaturation of urine, promoting encrustation and stone formation ( 8 , 9 ). Bladder stones can lead to bladder or intracranial infections, bladder outlet obstruction, hydroureteronephrosis and obstructive renal failure ( 10 , 11 ). Thus, the length of ventricles-peritoneal shunt should be taken into consideration when the operation is performed.…”
