TODO - Complications of gunshot injuries of the kidney usually present in the
early postoperative period. We describe a case of a cartridge’s plastic
detonating cap retained in the renal pelvis of a young male patient for
12 years. Renal colic was the cause of admission. This missile’s part
was mimicking a renal stone on both an intravenous urogram and a CT
scan. The nature of the “stone” was identified during a percutaneous
nephrolithotomy procedure during which the foreign body was removed.
