Aim:
To investigate ultrasound characteristics and outcome in fetuses with cholelithiasis.
Materials And Methods:
We report a small case series of three patients with prenatally diagnosed fetal cholelithiasis. Ultrasound features, pregnancy outcome and neonatal follow-up are presented and discussed.
Results:
Sonographic pattern associated to fetal cholelithiasis is variable. Pregnancy issue is globally good with no ominous fetal or neonatal events.
Conclusions:
Prenatally diagnosed fetal cholelithiasis is a rare finding and doesn't seem to carry an adverse effect on the pregnancy.

Diagnosing Acidosis and Alkalosis
First, the pH level is assessed to determine whether the blood pH is normal (7.35–7.45), low (acidosis), or high (alkalosis).
Next, the PCO2 and...

Outcomes of Glycolysis
Cellular respiration can occur aerobically (with oxygen) or anaerobically (without oxygen). In the presence of oxygen, cellular respiration starts with glycolysis and continues with pyruvate...
Fetal Circulation
Two umbilical arteries transport blood from the fetus to the placenta. At the placenta, the blood absorbs oxygen and nutrients while simultaneously eliminating waste products. This oxygen-enriched and nutrient-rich blood then returns to the fetus through one...
