title: [Xanthic lithiasis in the child. A study of one case. Review of the literature (author's transl)].
abstract: Seeking medical help because of an acute urinary retention, a 3-year-old child showed at intravenous urography (IVU) multiple radiotransparent lithiases. Hypouricemia suggested a diagnosis of xanthuria. The problems of this condition due to a congenital deficiency in xanthine oxydase are studied in a review of the literature. 56 xanthic lithiases have been published and since the work of Dent and Philpot, 28 xanthinurias have been reported.
