  • Title: [Coralliform lithiasis in children. Apropos of 20 case reports].
    Author: Bourdelat D, Babut JM.
    Journal: Ann Urol (Paris); 1984 May; 18(3):165-8. PubMed ID: 6529218.
    Abstract:
    The authors recall the characteristics of infantile staghorn calculus, in relation to twenty personal cases. The complaint is more frequently encountered in boys than in girls. A frequent etiology is proteus urinary infection. The morphology of the staghorn and the state of the parenchyma are determining factors in the treatment. A sinusoid morphology and thickness of the renal parenchyma are operative indications. The bivalving operation is exceptional. Results are generally satisfactory (80% of cases), and recurrences are rare.
