Abstract
A high index of suspicion is required in diagnosing matrix calculi in addition to carefully selected radiographic imaging. Due to their variable appearance in standard radiological studies, the evaluation of matrix stones may require invasive techniques such as ureteroscopy for accurate diagnosis. Percutaneous removal is the primary treatment modality to render patients stone-free.
