Ultrasound characteristics and outcome of prenatally diagnosed fetal cholelithiasis

AbstractAim: To investigate ultrasound characteristics and outcome in fetuses with cholelithiasis.Materials and methods: We report a small case series of three patients with prenatally diagnosed fetal cholelithiasis. Ultrasound features, pregnancy outcome and neonatal follow-up are presented and discussed.Results: Sonographic pattern associated to fetal cholelithiasis is variable. Pregnancy issue is globally good with no ominous fetal or neonatal events.Conclusions: Prenatally diagnosed fetal cholelithiasis is a rare finding and doesn’t seem to carry an adverse effect on the pregnancy.
