Neglected staghorn calculus presenting with perinephric abscess and discharging lumbar sinus-a case report
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 7
Abstract
: Perinephric abscess secondary to renal stones is a rare entity. Presenting with a cutaneous sinus is even rarer. To the best of our knowledge, there are only 6 cases of staghorn calculus presenting as discharging sinus. This report highlights the importance of early detection of renal calculi especially staghorn types and their earliest possible intervention. It also emphasizes the need for clinical suspicion of any intra abdominal pathology as the cause of sinus formation. Keywords:Perinephric abscess, Sinus, Staghorn calculus, Nephrolithiasis, Percutaneous nephrolithotomy
