Abstract :
Introduction In this study, we presented two cases with lower
urinary tract symptoms and missed urinary stone that were diagnosed by
the computed tomography (CT) scan. Case Presentation We reported two
elderly men with severe irritative bladder symptoms who failed to be
diagnosed with routine work-ups, including urine analysis and culture,
urine cytology, ultrasonography, cystoscopy and urodynamic studies.
Abdomino-pelvic nonenhanced spiral CT scan was performed. Missing stones
were detected by the helical CT scan without contrast, which were
treated by intracorporal lithotripsy. The symptoms were relieved
following stone removal. Conclusions According to these two cases, there
may be a diagnostic role for CT scan in evaluation of the irritative
bladder symptoms.
