AB The  acute  phenomenon  of  renal  stones  migrating  down  the  ureter  is  referred  to  as  renal  colic.  Adults  and  children  can  develop  kidney  stones.  In  adults,  the  condition  is  more  common  in  males  than  in  females;  kidney  stones  usually  occur  in  the  third  to  fifth  decade  of  life.  There  is  a  reoccurrence  rate  of  37%  within  the  first  year  of  having  a  stone.  Children  under  the  age  of  16  years  constitute  7%  of  cases  seen,  with  the  distribution  being  equal  between  the  sexes.
