Urethral Stone in a Young Girl: A Transit in a Normal Urethra

ملخص البحث
Urethral stones in females are very rare and always associated with genitourinary pathology. We report on a 9-year-old girl with a history of a small left ureteral stone that was diagnosed by abdominal radiograph and ultrasonography and subjected for conserva-tive management. On a follow up visit, she complained of dysuria for a few hours, while the passage of the stone was denied. Exami-nation of the urethral meatus revealed nothing. Follow up abdominal ultrasonography revealed resolution of renal obstruction with free both kidneys and urinary bladder. However, abdominal plain radiograph showed migration of the stone from the course of the left lower ureter into the course of the urethra. The patient was asked to void, where a small stone passed spontaneously. The note here is the transient lodgment of the stone in the normal urethra without urinary retention which represents an unusual scenario of urethral stones in young girls.
