Abstract

A 43-year-old woman with paralysis and neurogenic bladder secondary to a gunshot wound presented with worsening urinary incontinence and urinary tract infections. On workup she was found to have two large bladder stones with diameters of around 11 cm. She was managed with antibiotics and surgical removal. This case highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary team in managing patients with spinal cord injuries.
