Abstract
Internal ureteral stents have become an integral part of urologic practice to relieve intrinsic as well as extrinsic upper urinary tract obstruction. Missed internal ureteral stents is a serious potential complication that is associated with increased patient morbidity and is especially a problem in developing countries due to poor patient compliance, lack of understanding, and poor administration of stent registry. Diagnosis of forgotten ureteral stents is usually straight forward on usual imaging. Here, we report a case where the forgotten stent was missed on ultrasound and computed tomography and was picked up on plain radiograph thereby, emphasizing the still relevant role of plain radiograph in evaluation of stone disease.
