Cholelithiasis and Nephrolithiasis in Two Infants with Down’s Syndrome: A Case Report
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Cholelithiasis in infants and children is rare. There are very few reports of cholelithiasis in infants with Down’s syndrome. Here we are reporting two cases of Down’s syndrome aged 3 months and 6 months respectively in whom cholelithiasis was detected. One of the babies had nephrolithiasis also. Down’s syndrome patients are at an increased risk of developing lithiasis and should be monitored throughout the neonatal period.
