Ultrasound images of diseases of the urinary bladder:1) Large urinary bladder calculus:This 50 yr. old male patient complained of hematuria. Sonography reveals a large echogenic,oval object of 4.4 cms. in the urinary bladder. As the ultrasound images reveal, it is freely mobile with change in position, occupying the dependent part of the bladder. Diagnosis: large stone in the urinary bladder. Urinary bladder calculi are usually formed by migration of stones from the kidney or ureter. It may also be caused due to stasis of urine in the bladder, due to bladder outlet obstruction. 2) IUCD in urinary bladder:Sonography of the pelvis in this female patient revealed an echogenic linear object with posterior acoustic shadowing in the urinary bladder. X-ray images reveal the object to be a T-shaped structure. Ultrasound and X-ray images are diagnostic of a Copper-T (IUCD or intrauterine contraceptive device) which migrated to the urinary bladder. A snap of the specimen after removal is also seen. It appears to be coated with urinary sediment. Images courtesy of Dr. Ravi Kadasne, UAE.
