Abstract :
The formation of calcified stone in the ureterocele,a frequent event in adults,is very uncommon in a pediatric age. We present a case of a ureterocele containing a calcified stone in an 8-year-old girl. The diagnosis was made with radiological investigations (intravenous pyelogram,ultrasonography and,eventually,voiding cystourethrogram). Meatostomy and calculus extraction,or open surgery in more complicated cases,are the treatments of choice.
