While the cholelithiasis is very common among chronic hemolytic anemia, it is not in acute. A case of cholelithiasis as a complication of autoimmune acute hemolytic anemia in a 5 years old child is reported. A specific and accurate diagnosis was readily made with grey-scale ultrasound. Serial sonograms were obtained to follow the resolution of this case.
