title: [Stones and neurogenic bladder].
abstract: Stones of the upper and lower urinary tract are frequently observed in spinal cord injury patients. In this article, the authors reviewed the literature to identify the most reliable tools for diagnosis and follow-up. A review of recently published series demonstrated an excess risk of kidney and bladder stones in this population. The authors discuss the possible measures of prevention and identification of high-risk groups likely to benefit from more intensive follow-up.
