Abstract
We report the 11th case of gas containing renal stone. A 92-year-old Chinese female presented with fever
and lower urinary tract symptoms. Urine culture grew Escherichia coli (E. coli). CT abdomen pelvis showed
a large gas containing partial staghorn stone. She was managed conservatively with two weeks of antibiotics.
Follow up plain kidney, ureter and bladder (KUB) radiograph at 3 months showed that the stone was stable
in size. She remained asymptomatic at follow up.
