title: [Staghorn calculi in children. 32 cases].
abstract: The authors report thirty-two cases of children with staghorn calculi treated in the department of urology H. Bourguiba, Hospital of Sfax. Such calculi are frequently seen in young boys over the age of 6 years. Urinary tract infection by Proteus is the main etiologic factor of lithogenesis. Surgical treatment, still the most advocated, is laborious; it must ensure complete stone removal, while protecting renal function.
