[Bladder calculi in women. 10 cases]

The authors report a series of 10 cases of a stone in the bladder in women and describe the main characteristics of this condition. They point out that infection in particular plays a role not only in the causation of these stones but also in the development and complications. They emphasize that early treatment of the stone is important and that the urine should be sterilised as this will reduce the risk of morbidity especially in pregnant women.
