Multiple cystine stone formations on an indwelling ureteral stent treated by extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy.
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.
