Fetal anomalies of the gallbladder and fetal gallstones are extremely rare. We report a prospective study to assess the gallbladder detection rate according to gestational age and the incidence of fetal gallstones. The gallbladder detection rate increases from 28.5% below the 16th up to 98% over the 32nd week of gestation. We find out a fetal gallstone incidence of 0.07%.
