Giant Prostatic Urethral Calculus: A Rare Case Report with Total Endoscopic Management
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 11
Abstract
The giant prostatic calculus within the prostatic urethra is a rare clinical entity in the young population. Less than 20 cases have been reported in literature(1) . Most of the calculi in the urethra migrate from the bladder and obliterate the urethra. These stones are often composed of calcium phosphate or calcium oxalate. The decision of treatment strategy is affected by the size, shape and position of the calculus and by the status of the urethra. We present a case of a 40 year old male with a giant calculus in the prostatic urethra which was successfully managed with an endoscopic procedure. Stone analysis suggestive of calcium oxalate stone.
