Introduction: Calcified bladder foreign bodies are a rare yet clinically significant entity, often introduced voluntarily or in psychiatric contexts. Their diagnosis is frequently delayed due to nonspecific symptoms and the concealed circumstances of their introduction.
Case Presentation: We report the case of a 37-year-old man, treated for schizophrenia, presenting with chronic urinary symptoms.
Purpose Of Review: Bladder stones account for 5% of all urinary tract calculi. Contributing factors include bladder outflow obstruction, infections, foreign bodies, or neurogenic voiding dysfunction.

Background/objectives: An electric wire inserted into the bladder or urethra presents a specific challenge that is frequently encountered in such cases: the potential formation of a tight knot, making extraction nearly impossible. The primary objective of this study was to share our personal experience with patients who had intravesical electric cable insertions and to provide an extensive literature review, offering detailed insights into the various strategies reported for managing such foreign body cases.
Methods: Of the four cases with a foreign body in the lower urinary tract, two involved patients aged 19 and 53, respectively, who had inserted an electric cable.
