Description

A 73- years-old man was referred to emergency department with bilateral flank pain and new-onset hematuria. He had a history of prostatic cancer and recurrent urinary tract infections. On physical examination, there was tenderness and an enlarged lower abdomen over the suprapubic region. Insertion of urinary catheter reviles of urinary retention with more than 1000 CC of urine and urinalysis showed hematuria and pyuria. A subsequent abdominal CT showed a unique jackstone calculi in pelvic region-named after a toy jack- typically form in the bladder because of urine stasis and are usually composed of calcium oxalate dihydrate.
