Abstract
The objective of our study was to describe the clinical and imaging features of infants exposed to milk formula contaminated with melamine and cyanuric acid. The imaging feature of patients exposed to food contaminated with melamine and cyanuric acid was multiple calculi of the urinary tract that varied greatly in size and shape. Most patients presented with symptoms of urinary obstruction.
