Sumario:Percutaneous nephrolithotomy is usually considered as safe and effective in the management of renal stones in pediatric population. Urinothorax defined as presence of urine in pleural cavity is a rare complication of percutaneous nephrolithotomy. We present a rare case of slowly developing urinothorax in a 9-year-old boy following PCNL due to migration of DJ stent into the pleural cavity. The case was managed by intracostal tube drainage and repositioning of DJ stent.
