This event was discovered during a literature search related to macroplastique for vesicoureteral reflux (vur) and is in the form of a case study.A (b)(6) female patient had undergone subureteral administration of mpq to treat bilateral vur when she was (b)(6).The patient presented with right flank pain, nausea and fever and had recurrent lower urinary tract symptoms, including dysuria, frequency and urgency for 6 months previous, which were partially relieved from empirical antibiotics for 3 days.Ultrasonography revealed a moderate degree hydronephrosis on the right kidney and two bladder stones (2.0 cm and 1.3 cm) near the right trigonal area of the bladder.A follow up urinalysis was performed which showed that the patient's symptoms and pyuria had resolved in seven days.The patient was diagnosed with distal ureteral obstruction induced by bladder sone and a cystolitholapaxy and right retrograde pyelography (rgp) were performed.Cystoscopy showed two yellowish impacted stones attached to the previous site of mpq administration, just below the right ureteral orifice.The stones were completely removed using cystolitholapaxy, however it is unclear whether or not the macroplastique was also removed at this time.Rgp was performed to evaluate other potential causes of ureteral obstruction and showed that the hydronephrosis was caused by the presence of bladder stones and not vur.The patient was monitored every three months for a 12 month post-operative period and had no abnormal finding or lower urinary tract symptoms.
