儿童碳酸钙尿路结石病例报告

阅读:1

Abstract

Urinary stones composed of calcium carbonate are extremely rare, accounting for 0.01%-1.4% of urolithiasis (UL) cases. Urolithiasis is an infrequent condition in the pediatric population worldwide and in Mexico; nevertheless, the incidence in the Yucatán Peninsula is higher than that reported in other areas of Mexico and the world. Urolithiasis is the second most common urinary disease among pediatrics in the Yucatán Peninsula, which makes it an endemic region for this disease. We describe the case of a five-year-old male from the southeast region of Mexico who presented with signs and symptoms of urinary tract infection (UTI) and was diagnosed with bilateral staghorn stones of calcium carbonate, successfully treated by mini endoscopic combined intra-renal surgery, and dietary adjustments to prevent recurrence.
