RESUMEN
Gangrenous cystitis is considered a life-threatening but rather rare clinical entity due to the widespread use of antibiotics. We herein report a case of a 78-year-old female with gangrenous cystitis secondary to a spontaneous expanded hematoma of the lesser pelvis who underwent partial cystectomy followed by bilateral ureterostomies with no favorable outcome.
RESUMEN
Giant bladder stones, weighing more than 100 g, are a rare entity in western practice, usually associated with bladder outlet obstruction, urinary tract infections, or the presence of intravesical foreign bodies. We present a case of a 53-year-old man with a giant bladder stone weighing 600 g. He underwent suprapubic cystolithotomy, had no major surgical complications, and was discharged with a significantly improved urine flow stream.
