Abstract

Urolithiasis is a cause of abdominal pain occurring during pregnancy requiring hospitalization. Of 3793 deliveries in a 5-year period 11 were complicated by urinary calculi during pregnancy. The incidence was 0.29% and in 45% the calculi passed spontaneously. Conservative therapy was resolute in 100% of cases and didn't have any consequence on pregnancy and neonatal outcome. Pathogenesis, diagnostic and therapeutic approach are considered.
