| Zusammenfassung: | We have studied retrospectively 68 children who presented with urolithiasis between 1965 and 1986. Male to female ratio was 1.83 to 1 and the mean age was 9.5 years. Fifty four children (79%) had calculi in the upper urinary tract, 9 (13%) had in the lower, and 4 (6%) had calculi both in the upper and lower urinary tract. The most common presenting symptoms were gross hematuria (53%) and abdominal or flank pain (38%). Predisposing factors could be found only in 21 children (31%). Twenty four of the 68 patients (35%) had open surgery and 16 patients (24%) passed their stones spontaneously. Twenty one stones were analyzed by infrared spectroscopy. Infectious stone was more frequent than in adult cases. Among children five years old and younger, infectious stone was the most frequent. Among children over five years old, the number of idiopathic calcium stone has been on the increase with the years |
