- W2297154498 abstract "Introduction: Cholecystitis, for a long time considered as a disease of adults, has had an increased documented incidence of non-haemolitic cholelithiasis in the Pediatric Surgery practice in the last 20 years. Even though diseases of the gall bladder are rare in children, pediatric patients account for 4% of all cases with cholecystectomy. Cholecystitis and other diseases of the gall bladder should be considered in differential diagnosis in every patient with abdominal pain in the right upper quadrant, followed by jaundice, especially in children with history of hemolysis. Aim: The aim is to discuss the diagnostic and therapeutic modalities in 6 children with acute cholecystitis and cholelithiasis diagnosed and treated at the clinic of the authors. Patients and Methods: In the last 5 years, at UCCK, 6 patients under 12 years of age were operated, cholecystectomy was performed. The disease was more prevalent in female patients (66.66%—4 patients) than in male patients (33.33%—2 patients). Mean age was 8.6. Clinical manifestations presented: increased body temperature, abdominal pain and abdominal tenderness during examination. Other clinical manifestations included: vomiting in 4 patients (66.66%), jaundice in 2 patients (33.33%). Lab results showed leucosytosis in 3 patients (50%), disorders of the liver in 2 patients (33%). 2 patients were diagnosed with spherocytosis and splenomegaly, 1 patient had empyema of gall bladder (wall thickness of the gall bladder > 3.7 mm). Clinical diagnosis was confirmed with ultrasound. Ultrasound criteria are: gall bladder thickness (3.5 mm), stones ose sludge with acoustic shadow, and collection of liquid around gall bladder (pericholecystitis). Results: All patients were initially treated with naso-gastric tube (suction), fluids and antibiotics. Cholecystectomy was performed in 4 patients and cholecys-tectomy with splenectomy in 2 patients due to spherocytosis. Discussion and conclusion: Choleli-thiasis in children is most commonly associated with haemolitic and haemoglobin diseases (Hereditary Spherocytosis, Sideropenic Anaemia, Thalasemia etc.). The incidence of cholesterol stones is higher than pigment stones. Cholecystitis and cholelithiasis in children are more common than previously thought. Ultrasound confirms with great accuracy the presence of stones and acalculous cholesytitis. Treatment is usually surgical, laparoscopic or open surgery, depending on the stage of the disease and the experience of the surgeon." @default.
