Jackstones in the renal pelvis: A rare calculus

Jackstones are a rare subtype of calculi, characterised by radiating spicules. We describe a case of multiple jackstones in the urinary upper tract. A 53-year-old man was referred for evaluation of left flank pain. Imaging revealed a left pelvic-ureteric junction obstruction and several left renal c...

description Jackstones are a rare subtype of calculi, characterised by radiating spicules. We describe a case of multiple jackstones in the urinary upper tract. A 53-year-old man was referred for evaluation of left flank pain. Imaging revealed a left pelvic-ureteric junction obstruction and several left renal calculi. A left supine percutaneous nephrolithotomy was performed and two jackstone calculi were extracted. The presence of multiple jackstones in the renal pelvis should prompt for evaluation for obstruction and complete stone clearance should be achieved to avoid recurrence.
