OBJECTIVES To review reports focusing on the surgical treatment of staghorn stones in children, as despite all the improvements in the surgical treatment of paediatric urolithiasis the management of staghorn calculi still represents a challenging problem in urology practice. METHODS To evaluate current knowledge about treating staghorn calculi in children, we searched PubMed for relevant arti...

The great difficulty of distinguishing nephro-lithiasis from many other pathological conditions of the genito-urinary tract ?especially early tubercular disease of the kidney?is well known; but, except in the case reported below, the Rontgen rays have not yet proved of much practical value in the diagnosis of renal calculus.1 It can be, however, only a matter of time; and there is little doubt ...

Failure of kidney to ascend during embryologic development results in a pelvic kidney. Prevalence rate of crossed fused renal ectopia 1 in 724 paediatric autopsies. These kidneys are often small and abnormally rotated. The ureters are often short; poor drainage and dilatation of collecting system predispose to secondary infection and calculi formation. The blood supply is often complex; multipl...

Renal replacement lipomatosis of the kidney is characterized by renal sinus and perirenal fat proliferation. It is associated with chronic infection and calculi, commonly central, often obstructing. The kidney may be large or small but is usually nonfunctioning. Most of the renal parenchyma has been replaced by fat, pararenal fascia are thickened, and there may be fistulae. We reported radiolog...
