Abstract
Cholelithiasis in infancy is a rare disorder. A number of conditions that occur in the neonatal period predispose to the development of cholelithiasis. Cholelithiasis is more marked in the premature than adult, because of the immaturity of the enterohepatic circulation of bile acids which renders the newborn more susceptible to the cholestatic effect of total parenteral nutrition (TPN). Parenteral nutrition associated cholelithiasis is the major indication for cholecystectomy in the pediatric age group because of severe complication, but a number of recent studies report spontaneous resolution of the stones. We report a case of a female infant with cholelithiasis diagnosed by ultrasonogram at 88 days of age which is probably induced by prolonged lack of enteral feeding and TPN.
Key Words: Cholelithiasis; Total parenteral nutrition
