Asymptomatic neonatal cholelithiasis.
Cholelithiasis in neonates and infants has been rarely reported. With the current widespread use of diagnostic ultrasonography, more neonates may be found with gallstones and common bile duct stones. We describe a case of asymptomatic gallstones detected incidentally at the age of four days who presented with early onset of neonatal sepsis and dehydration.
