AbstractMany complications of percutaneous nephrolithotomy(PNL) were reported. In this report, we present a rare complication, which has never been reported. It is the migration of stone fragments into the venous system causing pulmonary emboli. We reviewed the literatures reporting complications following PNL, and there was no available previous report about such complication. It was suspected intraoperative and confirmed radiologically postoperative. In this case, pulmonary emboli have had no clinical consequences and were managed conservatively.
