Summary

A ruptured Foley catheter balloon fragment caused a bladder stone in a patient with spinal cord injury. Prompt cystoscopic removal of the stone and balloon fragment is crucial for managing this rare complication.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Nephrology
  • Medical Devices

Background:

  • Bladder stones (calculi) typically indicate lower urinary tract pathology like infection or obstruction.
  • Indwelling Foley catheters are common but can rarely lead to complications.

Observation:

  • A case of spinal cord injury with paraplegia presented with a bladder stone.
  • The stone was found to be induced by a retained fragment of a ruptured Foley catheter balloon.

Findings:

  • Cystoscopy successfully removed both the bladder stone and the Foley balloon fragment.
  • The bladder stone's composition was calcium oxalate and calcium phosphate.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of verifying Foley catheter balloon integrity after removal.
