Abstract

Urinary tract stones are common in spinal cord injury patients, affecting both the upper and lower urinary tracts. However giant bladder stones are rare, defined as those weighing more than 100 grams, although rare, pose significant clinical challenges and often result from underlying factors such as neurogenic bladder dysfunction. We present the case of a 35-year-old tetraplegic who was admitted with deteriorating general health and subsequently diagnosed with a massive bladder stone leading to acute renal failure. This case highlights the importance of early urological assessment in patients with neurological bladder problems. It also highlights the social taboo surrounding urogenital problems, which can delay necessary medical intervention.
