Large bladder stone formed over suprapubic cystostomy catheter leading to renal failure: An uncommon complication

Urinary bladder stones commonly develop in sitting of bladder outlet obstruction and infection. We had one patient who had large bladder stone causing renal failure, which is an uncommon complication. The patient had a suprapubic cystostomy catheter inserted for urethral stricture two years back. This case highlights the uncommon complication of urinary bladder stone and the importance of proper patient education.
