Abstract
This is a case report of a 45 year old mentally retarded patient presented with a large urethral calculus(5.5cm×4cm×4cm) impacted in bulbar urethra complicated with periurethral abscess and retention of urine. The periurethral abscess was drained and urinary diversion was done by suprapubic cystostomy. The stone was extracted later on by open urethrotomy.
