This event was discovered during a literature search related to macroplastique (mpq) for treatment of vesicoureteral reflux (vur) and was found in the form of a case study.A (b)(6) male patient had undergone treatment with mpq when he was 9 months of age after being diagnosed with unilateral grade v vur.The patient presented with intermittent gross hematuria and supra-pubic pain for several months.The patient was treated with antibiotics for suspected cystitis and the symptoms disappeared within several days.Two years after the mpq injection, the patient presented with gross hematuria (four times) and microscopic hematuria (two times).Whenever hematuria was present, the patient's urine calcium/creatinine ratio was checked and results were normal.Urinalysis showed isomorphic hematuria and mild proteinuria.A ct scan was performed and showed two 0.7 cm hyperdense lesions in the left posterior aspects of the bladder and suspected stones at the uvj or in the bladder.Ultrasonography showed previous mild pelvirectal of the left kidney (0.3 cm) and two hyperechoic foci with posterior acoustic shadowing in the left posterior aspect of the bladder.A diagnostic cystoscopy was performed showing calcifications leading to mucosal erosions around the orifice where mpq had been previously injected.The calcifications on the mucosal area were successfully removed via laser, however it is unclear if any mpq was also removed at this time.The patient's symptoms were gradually relived after treatment and routine monitoring for seven months after the removal of the calcifications showed no recurrent symptoms.
