Coralliform kidney stones represent a severe form of nephrolithiasis, posing significant challenges due to their size and associated complications, such as recurrent infections and renal impairment. We present the case of a 34-year-old female with chronic venous disease, anemia, and recurrent urinary tract infections, who was diagnosed with a right-sided coralliform renal calculus and a ureteral pelvic stone. The management included semi-rigid ureteroscopy with laser lithotripsy for the ureteral stone, percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) for the coralliform stone, and placement of a ureteral stent. Despite anatomical challenges during PCNL, residual stones were addressed via staged extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy. This case highlights the complexity of surgical management in advanced nephrolithiasis and the necessity for a multidisciplinary approach.

A nephropulmonary fistula is a rare complication of a non-functioning kidney, associated with a history of infection. Medical literature describes it as an adult disease in the pre-antibiotic era, and nowadays, is a rare complication. This study reports the case of a patient with nephrolithiasis who developed a nephropulmonary fistula resulting in the migration of renal coralliform stones to the lung parenchyma.

BACKGROUND Nephro-colic fistulas are uncommon, generally caused by local inflammation, trauma, or neoplasia affecting the kidney or the colon. Their association with a coralliform stone is described in a few case reports, but their management is difficult and differs quite a lot, depending on the clinical situation. We report an atypical clinical case of a reno-colic fistula associated with a staghorn calculus.

We report a 32-year-old woman with chronic kidney disease on hemodialysis undergoing a nephrectomy for left xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis with a coralliform calculus and septic shock. Her clinical evolution was torpid, subfebrile, with persistent elevation of inflammatory parameters and with the finding of intra-abdominal collections interpreted as post-surgical. Finally faced with microbiological evidence of infection of the collections, the patient was operated and tended to improve.

Psoas abscess is a rare pathology that usually presents with non-specific signs and rare clinical features. These characteristics can delay the diagnosis leading to complications and death. We report a forensic autopsy case of a 65-year-old male, alcoholic, smoker, with a history of hypertension, and urinary infection, who presented to the emergency room for anorexia and consciousness disorder.
