%X Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate patients presented with acute urinary retention and found to have bladder stones. Method: The records of 27 adult male patients presented to the emergency clinic with acute urinary retention between October 2011 and December 2017 were examined retrospectively. Patients' age, stone size, etiologic factors and treatment modalities were analyzed. Results: All patiens were male and the mean age was 60.41¡À15.71 (19-86) years. The main complaint of all patients was acute urinary retention. In addition, one patient had a feeling of fullness in the rectum, three had bilateral flank pain, five had high fever and four had renal failure. A total of nine (33.3%) patients were found to have stones localized in anywhere in the urinary tract along with bladder stones. All patients who had urogenital pathology pose a risk for bladder stone formation. The most common pathology was prostatic hyperplasia seen in 19 (70.4%) patients. Conclusions: We are of the opinion that it is very important to consider bladder stones among the preliminary diagnoses in patients presenting with acute urinary retention
