Staghorn calculi pose challenges in urology, often necessitating more invasive procedures such as percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) to clear a large stone burden with fewer procedures. Here we present a case of a 76-year-old female with chronic kidney disease and a malrotated right pelvic kidney who underwent PCNL for a 3.5 cm staghorn calculus.

Article Synopsis
  • Heterotaxy syndrome (HS) is a rare congenital disorder characterized by unusual arrangements of thoracic and abdominal organs, which complicates its diagnosis due to varied clinical presentations and an unclear classification system.
  • The case of a 50-year-old male with a history of multiple health issues presented symptoms like abdominal and back pain, leading to the discovery of congenital anomalies associated with HS and left isomerism, as well as complications from hepatolithiasis.
  • This scenario highlights the diagnostic and management challenges of HS, emphasizing the need for a multidisciplinary approach to care, especially when patients exhibit acute medical issues tied to their unique anatomical structures.
