Introduction Epilepsy has a variety of seizure‐inducing factors. Epileptic seizures caused by renal colic are extremely rare. Case presentation A 22‐year‐old woman with intractable epilepsy was brought to our hospital as an emergency case, because of vomiting and status epilepticus. She had implanted a vagus nerve stimulator in the left anterior chest at the age of 20 years. Computed tomography showed a ureter stone in the right distal ureter. On the second day of hospitalization, ureteroscopic lithotripsy was performed under general anesthesia. The patient’s seizures were controlled to a frequency of once a month or less in the four months after discharge. Conclusion We encountered a rare case of the frequency of status epilepticus increased by renal colic due to a ureter stone. Ureteroscopic lithotripsy was effective in controlling the frequency of status epilepticus increased by renal colic.
