Giant Prostatic Stones and a Massive Bladder Stone Leading to Obstructive Uropathy: A Rare Case Report.
Curēus 2023 August
Giant prostatic calculi are rare with less than 20 cases reported in the literature so far. Here, we discuss the presentation, diagnosis, and surgical management of a 25-year-old male patient with giant prostatic stones associated with a large bladder stone resulting from an underlying neurogenic bladder secondary to spina bifida. The patient had a history of congenital spina bifida, hydrocephalus, and non-compliance with clean intermittent self-catheterization. The stones were diagnosed through imaging and cystoscopy, and open cystolithotomy was performed for stone removal. The patient had a successful postoperative recovery with improved renal function. The case highlights the association between prostatic calculi and bladder outlet obstruction, emphasizes the importance of addressing underlying conditions to prevent stone recurrence, and underscores the role of open surgery in managing large bladder stones accompanied by renal impairment.
