[Voluminous juvenile prostatic lithiasis complicated by perineal fistula: about a case reported at the regional hospital in Gao]. / Grosse lithiase prostatique juvénile compliquée de fistule périnéale: à propos d'un cas à l'hôpital régional de Gao.

ABSTRACT

Prostatic lithiases are characterized by the development of stones in the prostatic tissue (acini, channels). They rarely occur in children but they are frequent in men. We report the case of a 24-year old patient with a few month-history of micturation disorders including dysuria and pollakiuria followed by perineal urinary leakage during minction. Reno-vesico-prostatic ultrasound showed voluminous prostatic calcification. Standard radiographic evaluation of the urinary tract and fistulography of the perineal orifice showed a communication with the bladder and showed large calcification projecting over the pubis. The diagnosis of prostatic lithiasis was retained. The patient was treated with antibiotic therapy before, during and after surgical extraction of the voluminous lithiasis. Surgical outcomes were favorable.
