title: [Epidemiology of urologic pediatric emergencies in our hospital, 1990].
abstract: The article's objective is to study the epidemiological patterns which define the paediatric urological emergencies within the area of influence of our hospital. To this end, 187 protocols of the paediatric emergencies attended by the urologist in 1990 were retrospectively reviewed. The most frequently observed pathologies were balanitis-phimosis, acute scrotum and genito-urinary injuries. A clear relationship of the type of disease to the patient's age and treatment, as well as some time-related variations were observed. About 40% of all cases could had been treated at a non-emergency outpatient clinic.
