Abstract

Ureterocoele is a cystic dilatation of the lower part of the ureter. One of its presentations in the adult population is the presence of a stone, usually a solitary stone, inside the ureterocoele. Authors present a rare case of Ureterocoele with stone in it managed with transurethral deroofing and cystolitholapaxy. This work has been reported in line with the SCARE criteria.
