Pediatric Vesicle Stone

Urolithiasis

Abstract

Pediatric vesicle calculus is a rare disease in the developed world but still common in developing nations; a large proportion is constituted by endemic vesicle calculus. Diet lacking in animal protein predisposes to this condition and usually affects children less than 10 years of age, with peak incidence at around 3 years of age. The most common type of pediatric vesicle calculus is ammonium acid urate. The diagnosis of this condition mainly depends upon radiological studies, and symptomatology may also help sometimes.

With the advent of newer endoscopic instruments, the treatment options for vesicle calculus are inclining toward percutaneous cystolithotomy for larger stone. Other treatment options include extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL), transurethral cystolitholapaxy, and open cystolithotomy, depending upon the size of stone.
