Palliative treatment of obstructing stone during pregnancy.
We present a twenty-three-year-old obese female with a twenty-four-week gestation pregnancy, a left ureteral stone, and urosepsis. She was treated conservatively with intravenous antibiotics and an indwelling Double J Cook catheter until the postpartum period. This represents a satisfactory alternative to nephrostomy drainage or surgical or percutaneous stone removal during pregnancy.
