摘要

We present the case of a patient with nephrocalcinosis and chronic kidney disease who underwent percutaneous nephrostolithotomy via a mid-pole access. After nephroureteral stent removal, the patient developed a tension hydrothorax due to the rare combination of a nephropleural fistula and ipsilateral distal ureteral obstruction. This complication was managed by percutaneous nephrostomy and thoracostomy placement and subsequent thoracoscopic surgery without further sequelae.
