| Popis: | Although urolithiasis occurs in pregnancy, its management remains a great challenge in our region. It creates a diagnostic puzzle due to many differentials that can simulate the symptoms in pregnancy. This is further challenged by the limitations of the accepted imaging investigations, burden of monitoring the pregnancy and managing urolithiasis till delivery at term. We present a case of intractable flank pain due to left renal calculus in an eighteen year old primigravida which was successfully managed. Where possible, treatment of urolithiasis before conception should be our focus in addition to general preventive measures of urolithiasis. |
