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  3  times  more  common  in  males  than  in  females;  kidney  stones  usually  occur  in  the  third  to  fifth  decade  of  life.  Children  under  the  age  of  16  years  old  constitute  7%  of  cases  seen,  with  the  distribution  being  equal  between  the  sexes.
