title: [Cholelithiasis in childhood: description of 2 cases].
abstract: Two cases of cholelithiasis in children are reported. The first patient was a 10-year-old girl with hyperinsulinism and hypoglycemia as associated medical conditions. The second one was a 3-year-old boy who had no definable cause for cholelithiasis. Both patients were symptomatic. Recurrent abdominal pain was the main symptom. A specific and accurate diagnosis was readily made by ultrasound in both children.
