title: Genitourinary problems in adolescence.
abstract: Urinary tract abnormalities in adolescent girls can range from previously unrecognized anatomic problems to metabolic diseases (which may lead to stone formation) to voiding patterns that can produce urinary incontinence. This paper reviews the various abnormalities and describes their pathophysiology so that practitioners can increase their understanding of these entities and improve their diagnostic acumen.
