Abstract
Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) is a non-invasive procedure for urolithiasis. Only a very small portion of patients suffer from post-SWL haematoma and most of them have perinephric haematoma formation. We present two patients who developed subcapsular hepatic haematomas after SWL, followed by a review of the literature on the condition.

A rare complication just as to have a haematoma of the right upper renal pole after treatment of a right lower caliceal stone (case1). What went wrong?
