Ultrasonographic diagnosis of asymptomatic cholelithiasis in pregnancy.
Using a static B scanner, 203 pregnant patients underwent cholecystosonography at the time of a routine 24-week ultrasound study. The incidence of asymptomatic cholelithiasis, 2.5%, was less than that reported by others. This low incidence and the increased time needed for cholecystosonography suggest that studies should be done on symptomatic patients only.
