Background: Encrusted cystitis (EC) is a chronic inflammation of the bladder associated with mucosal encrustations. Early diagnosis and optimal treatment are not well established. Here, we report a case of EC successfully treated with com-bination therapy.
Case Summary: A 27-year-old man presented with frequency, urgency, dysuria, gross hematuria and suprapubic pain for 2 mo. He was diagnosed with EC based on characteristic calcifications of the bladder wall (most of them were struvite), cystoscopy and histopathological examination. He was cured after combined therapy of elimination of encrustations, bladder instillation of hyaluronic acid and injection of botulinum-A neurotoxin into bladder submucosal tissue.
Conclusion: Bladder instillation of hyaluronic acid and injection of botulinum-A neurotoxin into the bladder submucosal tissue can be used for treatment of EC.

Unlabelled: Corynebacterium urealitycum is a gram-positive bacillus, usually found as a colonizer on the skin. However, a pathogenic role has been described in susceptible patients, where it can cause urinary tract infection, nephrolithiasis, pyelitis, and encrusted cystitis.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness of coated metal ureteral stents (CMUS) in treating pelvic lipomatosis-induced hydronephrosis (PLH) in 8 male patients from 2018 to 2021.
- Key inclusion criteria included excessive fat around the bladder and evidence of hydronephrosis, while patients with ureteral atresia or recurrent bladder obstruction were excluded.
- Outcomes showed a significant improvement post-operation, with decreased serum creatinine levels and reduced renal pelvis width, indicating successful management of hydronephrosis.

Introduction: A ureteral stent is crucial for managing urinary flow obstruction, ureteral reconstructive surgeries, and iatrogenic ureteral injuries. The authors aim to report a case of forgotten double-J stent for 17 years, the longest time reported in literature in a patient with solitary kidney and no typical long-term complications as stones formation and encrustation.
Case Presentation: A 58-year-old male with chronic kidney disease and solitary left kidney presented with left loin pain.

Encrusted cystitis (IC) is a rare chronic inflammatory disorder of the bladder characterized by mucosal inflammation with encrustations. This pathological process is directly related to the activity of urea-splitting bacteria in the urine. Bladder encrustations are deposits of ammonium and magnesium phosphate, as well as struvite, on the surface of the urothelium.
