Abstract:
A 20-month-old child was admitted to our hospital due to obstructive renal failure caused by cystine calculi. After recovering from the renal failure by bilateral percutaneous nephrostomy, pelvic irrigation with N-acetylcysteine was performed using a 12Fr. flexible double lumen catheter. In 2 weeks the calculus was reduced by 39% in size, then residual calculi were successfully removed by percutaneous nephrolithotripsy using 11.5Fr. rigid ureteroscope and postoperative irrigation with N-acetylcysteine.
