Abstract

Bladder stone can be classified as primary, secondary or migratory and the etiology can be multifactorial. Unlike kidney or ureter, bladder stone only constituted around 5% of all urinary tract stone. Generally bladder stones occur in conditions such as bladder outlet obstruction, neurogenic bladder, chronic infection and foreign body. The prevalence is higher in male with a reported ratio of male to female of 4:1. 

Giant bladder stone is a rare condition moreover of a case of multiple huge stones. There is a numerous case report about a single giant bladder stone but not so in case of multiple calculi. We reported a case of a lady presented with a sudden onset of acute renal impairment with multiple huge bladder stones detected from imaging. Open cystolithotomy was done and a few huge bladder stones were extracted. This case report is to illustrate a rare presentation of multiple giant bladder stones.
