RÉSUMÉ
La lithiase urinaire est une maladie multifactorielle aboutissant à la formation de calculs dans la voie excrétrice urinaire. Le plus souvent elle affecte le haut appareil urinaire mais aussi la vessie. Le calcul vésical est souvent de petite taille, exceptionnellement géant. Nous rapportons ici, le cas d’un patient de 57 ans venu consulter au Centre Hospitalier et Universitaire de Brazzaville pour des douleurs hypogastriques et des troubles urinaires. l’uroscanner a mis en évidence une lithiase calcique coralliforme pyelocalicielle gauche mesurant 4,42 cm de grand axe ayant une densité de 1213 UH associée à une volumineuse lithiase vésicale calcique mesurant 14,84 cm de grand axe ayant une densité de +1174 UH. Le bilan phosphocalcique et métabolique était normal. La prise en charge chirurgicale n’a pu être réalisée par refus de consentement du patient.
ABSTRACT
Urinary lithiasis is a multifactorial disease resulting in the formation of stones in the urinary tract. It most often affects the upper urinary tract but can also affect the bladder. Bladder stones are often small in size, occasionally giant. Here, we report the case of a 57-year-old patient who came to the University Hospital Center of Brazzaville for lower abdominal pain and urinary problems. A coralliform pyelocaliceal left calcareous lithiasis measuring 4.42 cm in size with a density of 1213 UH was identified by a CT scan, along with a large calcareous bladder stone measuring 14.84 cm in size with a density of +1174 UH. The phosphocalcic and metabolic assessment was normal. Surgical treatment could not be performed due to the patient's refusal to give consent.
