    Author: Cho BS, Park KS, Kang MH, Han GS, Lee SY, Cha SH, Kim SJ.
    Journal: J Korean Med Sci; 2012 Jun; 27(6):704-6. PubMed ID: 22690106.
    Abstract:
    Foreign bodies inserted through the urethra are often found in the urinary bladder. We presently report the first case of hydronephrosis and hydroureter due to direct compression in the urinary bladder by silicon, which had been introduced by the patient himself 2 yr prior to presentation with severe right flank pain. Computed tomography indicated a convoluted, high-attenuation mass in the urinary bladder; unilateral hydronephrosis and hydroureter were also present due to direct compression by the mass. The foreign body was removed using a cystoscope. This foreign body was proven to be silicon.
