[Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy in an 8-month-old infant].
An 8-month-old boy who presented with pyrexia and vomiting was referred to the pediatric clinic of Kitasato University Hospital. He was found to have hematuria, proteinuria and pyuria. Abdominal X-ray film showed calcification suggesting renal staghorn calculus in the bilateral kidneys. At 10-months and 11-months, we succeeded in treating him with extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) without complications.
