Abstract
Bladder stones are an uncommon condition in women and according to the literature, less than 2% of all bladder stones occur in women [1,2]. This condition is often overlooked because of its rarity, hence the diagnostic and therapeutic delay which can lead to potentially serious complications. Its treatment is essentially surgical and the choice between endoscopic, laparoscopic or open surgery methods depends mainly on the size of the stones and its etiology.
