Abstract

The accumulation of ureteric stone fragments causing ureteric blockage is known as ‘Steinstrasse’ or ‘Stone Street’ and is usually described as a complication of shock-wave lithotripsy (SWL). We herein present a rare case of massive Steinstrasse in a young male patient with no previous history of urolithiasis or lithotripsy.
