Popis: Urinary retention in pediatric patients is an uncommon presentation, particularly when attributed to urethral stones. We present the case of an 8 year old child who experienced acute urinary retention due to a urethral stone, an infrequent occurrence in this age group. Initial assessment revealed signs of obstructive voiding, prompting further investigation. Imaging studies confirmed the presence of a urethral stone causing complete obstruction. Management involved a multidisciplinary approach, incorporating surgical intervention. This case report underlines the need for awareness about the rare occurrence of urethral stones in pediatric age group which must be kept in mind while treating children.
