title: Multiple cystine stone formations on an indwelling ureteral stent treated by extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy.
abstract: Multiple large cystine stones formed on an indwelling ureteral stent used in the medical management of a 12-year-old boy with obstructing renal stones and cystinuria. Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy fragmented the cystine stones and allowed for extraction of the stent by cystoscopy.
