Abstract
Kidney stones (also called as renal calculi, neprholithasis, or urolithiasis) usually accounts for 15-20% cases in OPD. Distal ureteric calculi are kidney stones that have travelled down from either kidney to ureter and stuck in ureter due to size, shape of calculus or narrow ureter. This report highlights a presentation of case of distal ureteral stone in 35-year-old man. Diagnostic tests such as Ultrasonography, CT Scan and laboratory investigations were done. It was found to be the case of Ureteral stone in left ureterovesical junction with size of 5mm. Combination therapy with alpha blocker (Tamsulosin) and steroid (Deflazacort) was given for a period of 7 days. Stone expulsion time, stone expulsion rate, and requirement of analgesics were studied. It was found that, Tamsulosin with Deflazacort combination is proved to be efficient and has been considered as one of the optimum medical expulsive therapy in the management of symptomatic distal ureteric calculus.
