Case report: endourologic treatment for a ureteral stone in a patient with osteogenesis imperfecta.
A 53-year-old man with osteogenesis imperfecta presented with a 9-mm stone in the left middle ureter. The patient was treated endourologically by ureteroscopy and laser lithotripsy. The lack of similar cases, the rare nature of the disease, and the difficulties in treatment suggest that the entire endourologic armamentarium and a specialized center are necessary to achieve a successful outcome.
