    Computerized tomography identified a struvite calculus in a ureterostomy patient. This kidney stone contained minimal calcium salts, as revealed by imaging.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Urology
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Ureterostomy is a surgical procedure to create an opening for urine diversion.
    • Urinary tract stones can form in various locations, including the ureter.

    Observation:

    • A non-opaque filling defect was noted within the ureter of a patient who had undergone ureterostomy.
    • Computerized tomography (CT) was utilized for imaging the urinary tract.

    Findings:

    • The filling defect was definitively identified as a struvite calculus (magnesium ammonium phosphate).
    • Analysis indicated the calculus contained a minimal proportion of calcium salts.

    Implications:

    • Accurate diagnosis of urinary calculi composition is crucial for appropriate management.
