A 5-year-old female patient with several months history of recurrent lower urinary tract infection presented with a complaint of
frequency of micturition and hematuria. On plain abdominal radiography an elliptic opacified mass occupying the cavity of the
small pelvis was detected. Ultrasonic bladder examination has shown a hyperechogenic formation with a massive dorsal acoustic
shadow, which corresponds to the stones. The cystine bladder stone was oval-shaped 4,0 × 3,6 cm in size. Open cystolithotomy
was therefore selected as the best and safest treatment choice.
