Renal colic was the most frequent motive of consultation (30.4%). Fiver has been detected in 56.5% of cases.Stone has a renal localisation in 10 patients (43.5%), ureteral in 9 patients (39.1%) and vesical in 4(17.4%). Urine analysis has found following germs: Schistosoma haematobium (4 cases), positive cocci gram (3 cases), Enterococcus faecalis (1 case) and negative cocci gram (1 case). Moderate renal insufficiency has been detected in 4 patients (17.4%). Treatment has been surgical in 21 patients(91.3%). Nephrolithotomy was done in 7 patients (33.3%), ureterolithotomy in 7 others, cystolithotomyin 3 patients (14.3%), nephrectomy in 2 patients (9.5%), uretero-vesical reimplantation in 2 others.
