Urolithiasis in a Child: An Uncommon Presentation of an Uncommon Disease - 12/09/11
Abstract |
Urolithiasis in children is uncommon. We present the case of a 10-year-old boy with anuria resulting from an obstructing stone in the urethral meatus. There are no previously reported cases of pediatric urolithiasis presenting with anuria. We review urolithiasis in children, including predisposing factors, clinical features, stone composition, and natural history. The diagnosis may be confusing in younger children but should be considered with complaints of flank or abdominal pain, hematuria, and urinary tract infection.
