Abstract
Nephrocalcinosis is defined by calcium phosphate or calcium oxalate deposits in the kidney parenchyma, particularly in tubular epithelial cells and interstitial tissue. It should be differentiated from nephrolithiasis where calcium salts deposits are located in the kidney and urinary tract. We report a case of a 5 years old child with history of hypoparathyroidism of recent discovery , and the clear upper hand that ultrasound had in the assessment of medullary nephrocalcinosis in patients with metabolic disorders.
