Large Vesical Calculus Causing Labor Dystocia: A Case Report
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Obstructed labor is a well-known clinical entity in maternity units, cephalopelvic disproportion being the most common cause. Here, we report a rare case of obstructed labor, where the cause was a large vesical calculus. Patient was a referred case from the district hospital. The diagnosis of large vesical calculus causing labor obstruction was made by doing per vaginal examination. On per vaginal examination, a large calculus of size approximately 6 cm × 6 cm was palpated from anterior vaginal wall which was preventing the descent of head of the fetus. Hence, emergency cesarean section was performed with simultaneous removal of vesical calculus by cystolithotomy. The post-operative period was uneventful.
