We report a case of 2,8-dihydroxyadenine (DHA) urolithiasis in a 65-year-old male. He initially visited another institution because right hydronephrosis was revealed in a medical checkup. Computed tomography demonstrated radiolucent right renal stones. We performed percutaneous nephrolithotripsy and flexible transurethral lithotripsy and removed the stones successfully. An analysis of the stone fragments revealed 2,8-DHA urolithiasis. 2,8-DHA stones are relatively rare and caused by adenine phosphoribosyltransferase deficiency.

The management of such complications requires a multidisciplinary team, and it is important to bring together the specialties involved to ensure that these teams are coordinated and ready to respond. The management of pAMI poses unique challenges because it requires consideration of both maternal and fetal well-being.

Aim: While most splenic ruptures manifest as immediate hemorrhage, a minority of patients experience delayed rupture, which occurs days to weeks after the initial trauma. Although there have been reports of delayed splenic rupture following trauma, the exact pathophysiology of this condition and the appropriate treatment remain contentious. This article aims to further discuss and summarize the diagnosis and treatment protocols for delayed traumatic rupture of the spleen through the collection and analysis of existing clinical data, combined with previous literature.
