This is the presentation of a 19-month-old female admitted for recurrent lower urinary tract infection. Renal ultrasound and computed tomography showed a round bladder stone with no associated abnormality. Open cystolithotomy was performed, and a large bladder stone, measured 3.2 x 2 x 3.2 cm, and composed of magnesium ammonium phosphate (struvite) was removed. To the best of our research, this is the youngest patient, involved with a large struvite bladder stone.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
