Rapid Percutaneous Nephrostomy Stent Encrustation in Pregnancy: Navigating Your Stone Challenge
At the time of writing, this was the first case to describe a stent encrustation remnant in pregnancy. This case illustrates the need for timely follow-up after interventional radiology procedures and the potential complications a pregnant patient can encounter with surgical interventions, such as a nephrostomy tube. This case highlights stone challenges that obstetricians, internists, urologists, and radiologists should be aware of when managing the most common nonobstetrical cause of admission in pregnancy.
