Ibrahim A., 12

Ibrahim is a 12-year-old boy from a modest household. He is active, enjoys playing football with his friends, and helps his family with small errands after school. Ibrahim is hardworking and hopes to become a mechanical engineer in the future so he can support his family and contribute meaningfully to society. Ibrahim, a 12-year-old male, presented with lower abdominal pain and difficulty with urination for 2 weeks. The pain was suprapubic, intermittent, and worsened during micturition. There was associated painful urination, increased urinary frequency, and intermittent passage of blood-stained urine. His parents also noticed straining at urination and poor urine stream. There was no history of fever, vomiting, or loin pain. No previous history of urinary surgery. He had been well prior to the onset of symptoms. No known drug allergies. Based on clinical assessment and imaging findings, a diagnosis of Vesical Cystolithiasis was confirmed. Planned for surgery pending approval from the Helpster Charity Foundation.

Ibrahim has a large bladder stone that is obstructing his normal urine passage sometimes causing acute urinary retention. Due to the size of the stone that is unlikely to achieve spontaneous passage. Cystolithotomy(surgery)is the best option to relieve his his symptoms and improve his wellbeing. A major complication of kidney stones is a severe urinary tract infection (UTI) that can lead to life-threatening sepsis if urine flow is completely blocked. The overall prognosis for kidney stones is excellent, as most small stones pass on their own without causing permanent damage, though the risk of recurrence within ten years is about 50 percent.
