A fragment of Foley catheter balloon as a cause of Bladder stone in woman

Urinary bladder calculi are rarely seen in women and any history of previous pelvic surgery must, therefore, raise suspicion of an iatrogenic etiology. According to the literature, fewer than 2% of all bladder calculi occur in female subjects and, thus, their presence should provoke careful assessment of the etiology. We report one case of a fragment of Foley catheter balloon as a cause of Bladder stone in 28 years old woman. We analyzed the diagnosis, aspect and therapeutic management of this case which is the first described in literature to our knowledge
