We report a case of recurrent renal calculi containing calcium
phosphate associated with long-term acetazolamide treatment for
epilepsy. Unfortunately, the cause of stone formation was not
recognised for many years, by which time irreversible renal damage had occurred.
Keywords: calcium phosphate renal calculi; renal failure; acetazolamide; adverse drug reaction
