Abstract

Pediatric urolithiasis is a rare disease. Although the causes of pediatric urolithiasis are unknown, the metabolic conditions account for more than 50% of diagnoses. Because pain originating from stones may mimic a colic in infants, it is difficult to diagnose a stone in pediatrics. To our knowledge there is no case of urolithiasis reported in Korean infants. Here we report a case of a calcium-uric acid urolithiasis in an infant.
