Case report of paediatric oxalate urolithiasis and a review of enteric hyperoxaluria.
The formation of renal calculi secondary to enteric hyperoxaluria is rare in the paediatric population. We present the case of an 8-year-old boy who had short bowel syndrome resulting in enteric hyperoxaluria which led to the development of urolithiasis and bilateral ureteric strictures, both of which resolved with medical management. We also review the literature on enteric hyperoxaluria.
