    Author: Aziz el M, Amrani M, Abdelhak K, Hassan FM.
    Journal: Pan Afr Med J; 2015; 21():284. PubMed ID: 26587134.
    Abstract:
    Urinary bladder calculi are rarely seen in women and any history of previous pelvic surgery must, therefore, raise suspicion of an iatrogenic etiology. According to the literature, fewer than 2% of all bladder calculi occur in female subjects and, thus, their presence should provoke careful assessment of the etiology. We report one case of a fragment of Foley catheter balloon as a cause of Bladder stone in 28 years old woman. We analyzed the diagnosis, aspect and therapeutic management of this case which is the first described in literature to our knowledge.
