Abstract

Herein we describe a case of giant calculus in an orthotopic ureterocele in a female patient who had consulted for recurrent left-sided nephritic colic. A plain film of the urinary tract prompted us to suspect a giant calculus, which was confirmed by IVP. Treatment was by endoscopic surgery. The patient has remained asymptomatic one year postoperatively.
