Background:
A vesical calculus in a prolapsed cystocele is rare.
Objective:
To highlight bladder calculi as a cause of irreducible uterine prolapse.
Case Report:
A case of irreducible total uterine prolapse caused by multiple vesical calculi is presented. Bladder stones were removed through vaginal cystolithotomy followed by vaginal hysterectomy.
Conclusion:
In cases of acute irreducible pelvic organ prolapse, the possibility of bladder stones should be kept in mind and X-ray pelvis including the prolapsed mass should be done to confirm the diagnosis.
