Abstract:
Introduction: Renal stones are endemic in low income countries among children below 15 years old. This should not be underestimated due to high association with other morbidity and highly recurrence rate when compared with adults.
Objective: To explore the Effectiveness of Extracorporeal Shock Wave in Pediatric Renal Stones.
Methodology: Study the case of a child girl reported with renal stone, clinical and laboratory data were obtained, Radiological investigations as US and CT were done. The patient underwent dj stent, then patient received one session of Extracorporeal Shock Wave 4000 us guided storz ESWL Lithotripsy for urinary Stones then uralyt-u pediatric dose and allpourinol 100 mg once daily then start to passing stones gravels.
Results: Follow up by CT for the patient after 3 months revealed no stone, renal scan split function from 12% to 18%.
Conclusion: Renal stones could be presented even among pediatric group even with negative family history. Ultrasound is the first choice imaging modality for diagnosis of suspected renal stones; CT could be used for follow up. Dihydroxyadenine stones could be missed during routine diagnosis of renal stones so imaging is mandatory and stones analysis should be done.
