We report a case of 30-year-old female who had long-term history trisilicate-containing antacid intake for gastric discomfort. She experienced repeated attacks renal colic. Neither intravenous pyelography nor ureteroscopy could define the presence calculi. The metabolic evaluations were normal. However, X-ray diffraction revealed silicate stone. suggest that attack colic in those patients with trisilicate should arouse possibility silica urolithiasis.
