Renal colic due to ureteral stones is a common medical situation in the emergency. Double j ureteral stent insertion may lead relief of obstruction. Stones or fragments may migrate to the kidney via retrograde way during insertion of double j stent or ureterorenoscopic lithotripsy. Besides this, spontaneous retrograde migration is an unusual phenomenon. In this article, we reported a case with spontaneous retrograde migration of a ureteral stone which was secondary to the insertion of double j stent for relief of obstructive uropathy and infection. We revealed that benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) might increase this probability.

Keywords: ureteral calculi, double-j catheter, benign prostatic hyperplasia

Üreter taþlarý acilde sýk rastlanan bir durumdur. Tedavide obstrüksiyonu acil gidermek için double-J kateter konabilir. Double-J kateter takýlýrken ya da üreterorenoskopik litotripsi yapýlýrken taþ ya da parçalarý retrograd böbreðe migrasyon olabilir. Ancak spontan retrograd migrasyon nadir bir durumdur. Bu makalede üreter taþýna baðlý obstrüktüf üropati ve enfeksiyon geliþen hastaya acil double-J kater koyma iþleminden sonra taþýn spontan böbreðe retrograd migrasyonundan bahsettik. Benign prostat hiperplazisinin bu olasýlýðý artýrabileceði sonucuna vardýk.
