title: [Non-calculous cholecystitis in children].
abstract: The analysis of treatment of non-calculous cholecystitis in 18 children has been done. Their age was between 5 and 14 years. The diagnosis has been done after several examinations because of recurring pain. The X-ray investigation was most important for the diagnosis and indications for surgery. The indications were: severe recurrent pain, short term remission after acute cholecystitis and gallbladder organic disorders (strangulation, long cystic duct and poor evacuation). Organic disorders of gallbladder and cystic duct were found in all cases intraoperatively. In all patients cholecystectomy has been performed. Long-term results were followed up in 15 patients. Total relieve of chronic pain in all cases shows that timely operation provides good results.
