Abstract

Giant bladder stones are rare in younger patients. Herein, we report a case of acute renal failure in a 31‑year‑old male with a giant bladder stone. The patient presented with lower urinary tract symptoms and urinary retention with milky‑white urine. An emergency suprapubic cystotomy was performed and an 11‑cm oval, solid stone was removed. Post‑operative creatinine levels progressively decreased to normal and the patient exhibited smooth urination and good recovery at follow‑up. A comprehensive physical examination and thorough investigation of the patient's medical history are required during clinical evaluation, diagnosis and treatment, thus preventing misdiagnoses and ensuring prompt treatment.
