Abstract
Shockwave lithotripsy (SWL) is the treatment of choice for most renal calculi because it is highly effective and relatively noninvasive. Although complications of SWL are relatively few, one that occurs more frequently is perirenal hematoma, usually diagnosed by radiologic procedures. We present an interesting case of scrotal ecchymosis as an unusual presentation of perirenal hematoma causing ipsilateral spermatic-vein thrombosis after SWL for a left renal stone. To our knowledge, this condition has not been reported previously.
