Abstract :
The concretions which exceed 5 cm in size are termed giant ureteric calculi. We are reporting a young male who presented with left flank pain radiating to groin associated with frequency, urgency and dysuria. Investigations revealed left giant ureteric stone of 8 × 3 cm size and 71 grams in weight with gross left hydronephrosis and poorly functioning left unit. Left ureterolithotomy was performed. An IVU done 3 Weeks after intervention showed improved functions in left renal unit.
