Summary

Neonatal cholelithiasis (gallstones in newborns) is rare but increasingly detected with ultrasonography. This case highlights asymptomatic gallstones in a four-day-old infant who later developed sepsis and dehydration.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Gastroenterology
  • Neonatal Medicine
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • Cholelithiasis (gallstones) is uncommon in neonates and infants.
  • Advancements in diagnostic ultrasonography have increased detection rates.

Observation:

  • A case of a four-day-old infant with incidentally detected asymptomatic gallstones.
  • The infant later presented with early-onset neonatal sepsis and dehydration.

Findings:

  • Incidental finding of gallstones in a neonate.
  • Association between neonatal gallstones and subsequent sepsis/dehydration.

Implications:

  • Need for increased awareness of neonatal cholelithiasis.
  • Potential link between gallstones and serious neonatal conditions.
