Their age ranged between 1 to 12 years. The age group 1 to 6 years represented the highest percentage of patients (53.2%)Most patients were from rural areas (69.4%). The ratio male to female was 5.2:1 and the mean age of all patients was 6.3±3.5 years (age range between 1 to 12 years). The mean size of stones was 14.8±3.9 mm (stone size range 8 – 20 mm).The symptoms were dysuria (40.3%), urine retention (32.3%), and hematuria (27.4%). Urinary tract infection was in (24.2%) patients.
