Multiple bladder calculi: a rare cause of irreducible uterine prolapse.
BACKGROUND
A vesical calculus in a prolapsed cystocele is rare.


OBJECTIVE
To highlight bladder calculi as a cause of irreducible uterine prolapse.


METHODS
A case of irreducible total uterine prolapse caused by multiple vesical calculi is presented. Bladder stones were removed through vaginal cystolithotomy followed by vaginal hysterectomy.


CONCLUSIONS
In cases of acute irreducible pelvic organ prolapse, the possibility of bladder stones should be kept in mind and X-ray pelvis including the prolapsed mass should be done to confirm the diagnosis.
