This resemble to the épidemiology's profile of under-developed conry: Amore raised frequency of the renal lithiasis at the man than at the woman with a sec ratio of 2.4. An average age of +14 years with a peak to 4th decade in 2 sexes. The upper localitation of the calculi is founded in 94% cases. The fréquency of the relapses, the mode of expulsion and the size of calculi are différent of those published in the litérature. Probably because the time of study which last 4 years is too short, so it don't enable us to find a result like the literature. The surgery is the mode of most fréquent élimination (51%). This s dû to the présence great size calculi in our popûlation and to the récent introduction of the lithotritie in our country.
