A study is made of 15 patients with monotopic coralliform stones, suffering from simultaneous, contralateral, renoureteral lithiasis. There are certain special features in these patients which we consider to be sufficient to distinguish them as a separate group amond cases of lithiasis in general and coralliform stones in particular. The high percentage of septic complications observed in these patients demand special treatment within the field of urinary lithiasis.
