| Abstract: | Giant urinary bladder calculus has been defined as urinary bladder stone weighing more than 100g, a rare finding in current surgical practice. Additionally, the causes have been attributed to urinary tract infection, urethral stricture, benign prostatic hyperplasia, neurogenic urinary bladder and urinary bladder foreign body which are thought to create a nidus onto which stones form. We report an 84-year-old man with hypertension presented with difficulty in micturition and suprapubic pain. All these urinary symptoms had been there for seven years. The plain radiograph showed a big stone measuring about 6cm×5cm, ultrasonography showed severe bilateral hydronephrosis and moderate prostate enlargement. The stone was removed via open cystolithotomy without intraoperative or postoperative complication and patient markedly improved. The stone weighed 145g and this is the first case to be documented in Uganda. In conclusion, readily available and affordable diagnostic modalities like plain abdominal-pelvic X-ray and ultrasonography can be used to make diagnoses of giant urinary bladder calculus and associated hydronephrosis and can be lifesaving. |
