Summary

A perirenal abscess developed after lithotrity, mimicking kidney stones. Urography confirmed the diagnosis, highlighting its importance in identifying lithiasic disease.

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Urology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Perirenal abscesses are rare but serious complications.
  • Lithotrity is a common procedure for kidney stones.

Observation:

  • A case of perirenal abscess secondary to lithotrity on a calcified cyst is presented.
  • The condition initially simulated pyelic lithiasis (kidney stones).

Findings:

  • The study emphasizes the diagnostic value of urography in differentiating perirenal abscess from actual lithiasic disease.
  • A pathogenic hypothesis for this specific complication is proposed.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the need for careful diagnosis after lithotrity, especially with atypical presentations.

  • Urography plays a crucial role in confirming lithiasic disease and guiding appropriate management.
  • Understanding the pathogenesis can help prevent future occurrences.
