Pediatric bladder outlet obstruction due to urethral calculus. Case report and review of the literature.
A case of urethral calculus in a child is presented. While there are several reviews of urethral stones from centers in Europe and Asia, a number of which include pediatric patients, we are not aware of descriptions of urethral calculi in childhood in patients in the United States or elsewhere in North America.
