Abstract
A male in his mid-70s presented to a medical practitioner working in a peripheral clinic with a history suggestive of right ureteric colic for 2 days. The patient was evaluated with an ultrasound of the Kidney, Ureter, Bladder (KUB) region, which was suggestive of right hydroureteronephrosis with an upper/mid ureteric calculus. X-ray KUB was suggestive of right upper ureteric calculus with bilateral symmetrical linear serpentine radio-opaque shadows in the pelvis (Figure 1A, B), and in the apprehension of Steinstrasse was referred to the urology emergency for further evaluation and management. X-ray was noted, and a diagnosis of Vas deferens calcification was suspected due to the characteristic pattern of the loop that the Vas makes during its course, with queries of right upper ureteric calculus. CT KUB was done, and a 6 mm right upper ureteric calculus with bilateral vas deferens calcification was suggested (Figure 2A, B). Blood investigation revealed normal serum creatinine and white blood cell count. The endocrine evaluation revealed a non-diabetic status. Metabolic assessment for the patient was normal. Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) was done for the ureteric calculus. The patient and relatives were counselled in detail, and fears and apprehensions regarding intrapelvic calcification were resolved.
