Staghorn calculi may cause several complications, particularly important being the development of pyonephrosis due to long-standing infection. We describe four patients who presented with either a marked systemic illness or a loin mass due to pyonephrosis. In each patient, the plain abdominal radiograph showed a fragmented staghorn calculus, which is suggested as a radiological sign of pyonephrosis and indicative of the need for surgical attention.
鹿角形结石可能会引发多种并发症，其中因长期感染导致肾积脓的发展尤为重要。我们描述了四名患者，他们因肾积脓而出现明显的全身疾病或腰部肿块。在每位患者中，腹部平片均显示为破碎的鹿角形结石，这被认为是肾积脓的一种影像学征象，提示需要手术治疗。
