We present an interesting case of ureteric stent encrustation in a 35-year-old male who was lost to follow up for 8 months during the Covid-19 pandemic. After clearing severe stent encrustation with ureteroscopy and laser lithotripsy, the patient presented with urinary retention and multiple failed catheterizations. They were found to have numerous calcified urethral fragments secondary to stent encrustation, with a unique radiographic appearance of a string of beads overlying the pubic symphysis. A new stent was inserted and the patient was lost to follow up for a further 4 months, during which time pronounced encrustation formed again.
我们报告了一例有趣的输尿管支架结壳病例,患者为一名35岁男性,在新冠疫情期间失访8个月。在通过输尿管镜检查和激光碎石术清除严重的支架结壳后,患者出现尿潴留且多次导尿失败。发现他们因支架结壳继发有大量钙化的尿道碎片,在耻骨联合上方呈现出一串珠子的独特影像学表现。插入了一个新的支架,患者又失访了4个月,在此期间再次形成了明显的结壳。
