Description
Summary:Ureteric stone disease is increasing, especially in developed countries, and present in different ages with various patterns; it has many treatment modalities and outcomes. Ureteric stones are usually small and symptomatic but maybe large, asymptomatic associates with totally distracted kidneys. However, some ureteral calculi show silent progression to reach a large size without underlying anatomic abnormalities. These stones are called giant ureteral stones and seen extremely rare. In this study, we report a case of large ureteral stones with 13 cm length on the right side with atrophy of the right kidney.
