  • Title: [Bladder stones in children in Gabon. Three case reports].
    Author: Koko J, M'Ba-Meyo J, Reymond-Yeni A, Llano-White C, Gahouma D.
    Journal: Ann Urol (Paris); 1996; 30(5):247-50. PubMed ID: 8975590.
    Abstract:
    Bladder stones are uncommon in children in Gabon. The authors report the case of 3 boys admitted to the Paediatric Hospital of Owendo for voiding disorders. All patients came from the South of the country, but these stones cannot be described as endemic in view of the small number of cases. The authors recall the main aetiologies, the suggestive symptoms and the simple and inexpensive complementary investigations (plain abdominal x-ray and ultrasonography) allowing the definitive diagnosis. Conventional surgical treatment gives good results, but in the case of small stones, endourological treatment can be more economical in terms of the duration of hospital stay and postoperative morbidity.
