Patients with retained stents who have not followed up for a long time are difficult cases for urologists. They may be admitted to the hospitals because of several complaints like flank pain, pyelonephritic attacks, stent migration, encrustation, calcification and even renal failure by means of obstruction. Rarely,long standing stents may become fragmented. In the present case, a 81 year-old woman was admitted to our inpatient clinics with initial complaints of dysuria and flank pain. Her history revealed that she had been performed ureterorenoscopy for the removal of ureteral stone and placed double-j stent 2 years ago. After subsequent evaluations, previously forgotten and fragmented stent has been determined to be the cause of complaints of the patient.
