Article Abstract

Introduction And Importance: Urolithiasis is a common condition, but management becomes challenging in patients with recurrent stones, anatomical variations, or a history of multiple interventions.

Case Presentation: A 56-year-old man with bilateral kidney stones and a duplex collecting system had a long-standing history of flank pain and had undergone several procedures, including ESWL, URSL, and PCNL. Most recently, he was presented with a right-sided renal stone.

Clinical Discussion: Urolithiasis in patients with duplex renal systems can lead to recurring stones, making treatment more complex. Imaging like ultrasound and CT scans help in diagnosis, and procedures like retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) are effective for removal and good surgical outcome. With stone analysis and follow-up care, including hydration and dietary changes, recurrence can be minimized.

Conclusion: This case highlights the challenges of managing complex, recurrent urolithiasis in a patient with a duplex collecting system.

Background And Aims: Free-floating thrombus (FFT) is a rare but clinically significant vascular finding, not only in ischemic stroke but also in other contexts such as routine imaging for asymptomatic patients or evaluation of other vascular diseases. It is characterized by an intraluminal thrombus adherent to the arterial wall with partial luminal occlusion and cyclic movement synchronized with the cardiac cycle. Although associated with an increased risk of embolic complications, including recurrence, no consensus exists regarding optimal management.
