A one‐year‐old boy presented with hypercalciuria and nephrolithiasis following a course of ACTH therapy for infantile spasms. After a successful cystolithotripsy, therapy with chlorothiazide was followed by regression of the hypercalciuria within 42 months. Neither nephrolithiasis nor nephrocalcinosis recurred. Therapy with thiazides to prevent hypercalciuria caused by ACTH is proposed.
