Unexpected case of large ureteric calculus being passed following prostatic artery embolisation

Unexpected case of large ureteric calculus being passed following prostatic artery embolisation

Spontaneous passage of large ureteric calculi over 10mm is uncommon. We present a case of a 69-year-old male with a significant prostatic enlargement (150 cc) and a 13mm ureteric calculus which had not passed for 3 months following a failed attempt at ureteroscopy. His stone passed spontaneously fol...
