Abstract
Cystinuria is a rare autosomal recessive defect causing recurrent urinary tract stone formation. Morbidity from stone formation and repeated urological interventions can be reduced by early diagnosis and adequate medical treatment. In this review, we illustrate these points by discussing three patients with cystinuria and give a brief review of its management.
