Urolithiasis and psoas abscess in a 2-year-old boy with type 1 glycogen storage disease

Diagnosis of urolithiasis in children therefore requires a high index of suspicion especially for those living in endemic regions and with a positive family history. Additionally, management requires judicious use of radiological imaging by treating physicians.
