  • Title: [Giant vesico-vaginal stone: a case report].
    Author: Horiguchi A, Hatakeyama N, Ikeuchi K.
    Journal: Hinyokika Kiyo; 1998 Jul; 44(7):521-3. PubMed ID: 9752612.
    Abstract:
    A 74-year-old female with the chief complaint of lower abdominal and anal pain had been suffering from total incontinence due to cerebral palsy since her childhood. A giant stone was palpable on vaginal examination. A radiograph showed a giant calcification in the pelvis. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a giant vesico-vaginal stone, which occupied most of the bladder and vagina. Cystolithotomy was performed. The removed stone weighed 435 g, and measured 9.0 x 6.5 x 5.5 cm, and was composed of magnesium ammonium phosphate. To our knowledge only eight cases of female giant vesical stone have been reported. We herein report a rare case of vesico-vaginal stone unrelated to gynecological procedures.
