What is it about?
The present identification of a new compound in kidney stones is relevant in clinical practice. A new compound has been identified in a possible kidney concretion, although it could be a ‘false calculus’ associated with Munchausen syndrome.

Why is it important?
The crystal packing is characterized by an infinite zigzag chain of Ca atoms in [Ca(OW)4O2N2] (OW is a water O atom) square antiprisms, sharing edges formed by water molecules. An uncoordinated water molecule interconnects the parallel chains in a three-dimensional hydrogen-bonding scheme. Similarities between the trihydrate and the monohydrate are described.
