Multiple Vaginal Stones Secondary to An Ectopic Ureter in An Adult Female Patient: A Case Report
Subject
ectopic ureter, ureteroneocystostomy, vaginal stone
Description
Vaginal stones are a rare condition that can be
misdiagnosed as other diseases.1,2 The overall incidence
is unclear because most cases are only reported as case
studies. In 1900, Halban was the first to report a case
of vaginal stone that developed into a giant vaginal
cystocele.1
Vaginal stones can be classified into primary or
secondary based on their etiology.2
Primary vaginal
stones result from stagnant urine within the vagina,
while secondary vaginal stones are caused by a nidus
from the deposition of inorganic salts around foreign
bodies in the vagina.3
They are commonly caused by
congenital genitourinary abnormalities, such as an
ectopic ureter, trauma, and urethrovaginal fistula
secondary to scarring after gynecologic surgeries.3
Ectopic ureter is often associated with a duplex
renal system, which can be classified into a complete
and incomplete double system ureter. Ectopic ureter
insertion into the vagina can form vaginal stones due
to urinary stasis and repeated infection.1,3 In this report,
we presented a case of multiple giant vaginal stones
due to an ectopic ureter associated with a duplex renal
system in an adult female patient.
