Abstract

EXTRACORPOREAL SHOCK-WAVE LITHOTRIPSY'S UNUSUAL COMPLICATION: RETROPERITONEAL GAS

Abstract

After extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy (ESWL) in renal stone disease, complications such as hematuria, pain, infection, and less often complications such as pancreatitis, myocardial infarction can be observed. In this case report, We aimed to present retroperitoneal gas findings, an unusual complication post-ESWL detected on Computed Tomography.
