Abstract:
Drug-induced nephrolithiasis is an important consideration in recurrent stone formers with polypharmacy. While felbamate nephrolithiasis has previously been published in the paediatric population, we present the oldest published case of a felbamate stone in an adult, a man in his 30s with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. Even with moderate dosing, high drug serum levels can occur. Performing at least one stone analysis remains a critical component to care in these patients. Urologists should have a high index of suspicion for drug stone when stone analysis returns indeterminate characterisation in the absence of infection. Close communication with neurology is key to preventing recurrent stone disease.
