This case report documents the rare discovery and removal of a vaginal calculus in a teenage female with bladder exstrophy. This finding highlights the importance of considering vaginal calculi in urolithiasis differential diagnoses for such patients.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Gynecology
  • Pediatric Surgery

Background:

  • Bladder exstrophy is a complex congenital anomaly requiring specialized management.
  • Urinary tract complications, including urolithiasis, are common in patients with bladder exstrophy.
  • Vaginal anomalies can occur in conjunction with bladder exstrophy, though vaginal calculi are exceptionally rare.

Observation:

  • A 14-year-old female with a history of bladder exstrophy presented with an unusual finding.
  • A significant vaginal calculus was identified during clinical evaluation.
  • The calculus was successfully removed via cystotomy and introitoplasty.

Findings:

  • This report details the first documented case of a vaginal calculus in a patient with bladder exstrophy.
  • The calculus measured [Insert size if available] and was composed of [Insert composition if available].

  • Surgical intervention successfully resolved the condition.

    • Implications:

    • Vaginal calculi should be considered in the differential diagnosis of urolithiasis in patients with bladder exstrophy.
    • This case underscores the need for comprehensive evaluation in patients with complex congenital anomalies.
    • Further research may elucidate the specific risk factors and pathogenesis of vaginal calculi in this population.
