Abstract

Ureteral double J (DJ) stents are associated with complications such as malposition, migration, fragmentation, and “forgotten stent,” and are known to migrate both proximally and distally [1,2]. We presented a 40-year-old man who had complained of decreased urination, nausea, and abdominal pain for a week. The pain was mild and localized in the periumbilical area. There was a history of dysuria and hematuria without fever or abdominal distension.
