Background : Primary vaginal stones in children are extremely rare and removal can be dif icult, due to the under development of the external genitalia and the existence of the hymen which should be maintained intact. We describe a case of vaginal stone discovered during exploration for a recurrent urinary tract infection. Case : A 5‑year‑old, well‑being girl was referred to the urologic department with recurrent febrile urinary tract infection for 6 months, which not responded to antibiotic therapy. Ultrasound of the kidneys showed no abnormalities. The bladder appeared to contain a large stone. On urethro‑cystoscopy no stones were seen. Pelvic CT‑Scan identi ied vaginal stone. Conclusion : Primary vaginal stones are a rare entity, probably related to urinary stasis, fecal contamination, and chronic infection, there treatment still a challenge for the urogynecologist
