[Features of diagnosis and clinics of gallbladder cholesterosis in children].
Cholesterosis in childhood--this is a new poorly studied disease, which only begins to highlight in current literature. According to this our work was to study the clinical characteristics and to develop diagnostic criteria of gall bladder cholesterosis in children.


METHODS
66 children with cholesterosis gall bladder at the age of 1 year to 15 years were under the supervision. There were 30 girls and 36 boys. The diagnosis was confirmed in the performance of transabdominal ultrasound examination and endoscopic (transesophageal) ultrasonography, magnetic resonance tomography. The cholesterosis of the gall bladder was confirmed by histological examination of the gall bladder wall at 41 children. This article describes the clinical course of gall bladder cholesterosis in children. It was shown an importance of laboratory and instrumental methods of investigation. It was presented an algorithm of children diagnostics and monitoring with gallbladder cholesterosis.
