Abdominal radiograph shows multiple bladder stones (arrows) and a dislocated right hip. Primary pediatric bladder stones most commonly occur in the setting of urinary stasis related to a neurogenic bladder. Affected pediatric patients usually have cerebral palsy or paralysis making complete emptying of the bladder (even with catheterization) difficult.
