    Gallstones (cholelithiasis) are more common in children than previously thought, often linked to underlying health conditions. This study identified 52 pediatric cases, highlighting the need for awareness in pediatric care.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Gastroenterology
    • Medical Imaging
    • Epidemiology

    Background:

    • Cholelithiasis (gallstones) is increasingly recognized in pediatric populations.
    • Previous data suggested gallstones were rare in children, necessitating further investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine the incidence and predisposing factors of cholelithiasis in pediatric patients.
    • To analyze the characteristics of gallstones identified in children.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of medical records for pediatric patients with ultrasonic evidence of cholelithiasis.
    • Analysis of patient charts, radiographs, and surgical/pathologic reports.
    • Inclusion criteria: patients aged 3 months to 21 years with confirmed gallstones.

    Main Results:

    • 52 pediatric patients (29 female, 23 male) diagnosed with cholelithiasis over three years.
    • 83% of cases had predisposing conditions, including hemolytic anemia, cystic fibrosis, and liver disease.
    • Gallstones were visible on radiographs in over 53% of cases, suggesting a mixed composition.

    Conclusions:

    • Cholelithiasis is more prevalent in children than previously assumed.
    • Identifying predisposing factors is crucial for managing pediatric gallstone disease.
    • Radiographic visibility indicates a significant proportion of calcium-containing gallstones.
