Abstract
The formation of a stone within the urinary tract is not a disease, but a complication of many different disorders and most pediatric patients with urolithiasis have definable metabolic abnormalities.
Until recently, almost all stones in the pediatric age group as well as in adult necessitated an open surgical procedure for removal. Today adult and children with urolithiasis are usually treated with minimal invasive methods.
This prospective study aims at evaluating urolithiasis in children and précising an obvious strategy for management by different modalities available which includes ODT, ESWL, Ureteroscopy and Surgery.
The patients divided radiologically into two main groups: Group I patients having radiolucent calculi and Group II patients having radio-opaque calculi that was subdivided by laboratory investigations into Group IIA associated with hyperuricosuria and Group IIB without hyperuricosuria.
