[Acute hydrops of the gallbladder in childhood].
The authors discuss four cases of acute hydrops of the gallbladder being examined in the Department of Pediatrics, Medical University School of Pécs. Diagnosis was based on ultrasonography. In all cases right upper quadrant abdominal pain and fatigue were observed. The causes of hydrops were Kawasaki's disease, sepsis, and multiple trauma. In one case the cause was unknown. In one of the cases cholecystectomy was done, in three cases the hydrops resolved spontaneously. The authors discuss the aetiology, the symptomatology and the therapeutical possibilities of hydrops. On the basis of their results the authors suggest the importance of the serial ultrasound examinations.
