Urinary lithiasis in children. A review of 155 cases.

155 children presenting with lithiasis have been studied. The study confirms other recent analyses: (1) Urinary lithiasis in the child is far more frequent than was previously thought. It is not always easy to diagnose because of the limited opacity of the calculi. (2) Its secondary nature is shown in 25% of the cases. (3) Its cause is still debated in spite of the evident part played by Proteus infection. (4) The prognosis is generally favourable.
