title: [Cholelithiasis in children: apropos of 14 cases].
abstract: Between 1980 and 1990, we have diagnosed fourteen cases of cholelithiasis in children at our hospital. Abdominal pain was the most common symptom. Diagnosis was made by abdominal ultrasonography in all of the cases. Risk factors were found in 4 children. Family history was present in four patients. The treatments performed included cholecystectomy in five cases, extracorporeal lithotripsy in one case and a dietary regimen with regular clinical reviews in eight patients.
