    Area of Science:

    • Neonatal Medicine
    • Pediatric Gastroenterology
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Cholelithiasis (gallstones) is uncommon in neonates, frequently diagnosed late due to biliary tree complications.
    • Early detection of neonatal gallstones is crucial for timely intervention and management.

    Observation:

    • Two premature infants presented with radiographically evident calcified gallstones.
    • One infant also exhibited portal vein thrombosis, a serious vascular complication.

    Findings:

    • Calcified gallstones were identified in premature infants via abdominal radiography.
    • Risk factors such as total parenteral nutrition (TPN) and furosemide were noted in one case, potentially linked to gallstone formation.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of considering cholelithiasis in premature infants, even without overt symptoms.
    • Suggests a potential association between TPN, furosemide, and gallstone development in this vulnerable population.
    • Underscores the role of abdominal imaging in diagnosing neonatal gallstones and associated conditions.
