Results: During the study period we had encountered 16 cases of lower urinary tract lithiases out of 350 hospitalized patients either 4.57%. The median age was 8 years with extremes of 2 years and 14 years. 15 (93.75%) were of male sex and one was female (6.25%). Cytobacteriological examination was performed in 11 patients or 68.75% and Escherichia coli was isolated from 4 patients or 25% and Proteus was isolated from 6 patients or 37.5%. The biological balance was normal in all patients. Ultrasound allowed visualization of the calculus in all of our patients either 100% of which 2 were localized in the posterior urethra. Cystolithotomy was performed in all patients with 2 after refolding of the calculus in the bladder. The surgical sequelae were simple except for one case of vesico-cutaneous fistula.
