Abstract

Kidney silicate stone is rare, with an incidence of 0.2% of all urinary stones. Here, a 7-year-old female patient who was admitted with urinary stones is presented. In stone analysis, quartz mineral was observed. It was seen that a drug used by the patient regularly included silicon dioxide that is most often recognized in the form of quartz, which is used in the pharmaceutical industry to form a tablet, as an excipient. The fact that the disease is very rare causes curiosity on this subject. When prescribing drugs to the patient, possible side effects of the excipients should be evaluated.
