We have reviewed in a retrospective study 38 children treated in our Hospital, during the last seven years, because of non congenital gall-bladder disease. The diagnosis established were cholelithiasis 58 for 100, hydrops 26 for 100, acalculous cholecystitis 13 for 100 and hemobilia in one child. Cholelithiasis was more frequent in females at a rate of 2/1. Just the opposite incidence was found for acalculous gall-bladder pathology. Mean age at time of first hospitalization was 7.6 years for the cholelithiasis group and 6.6 years for the rest. Symptoms in order of frequency were abdominal pain, vomiting and fever. Abdominal sonography has been basic in establishing to correct diagnosis in practically all cases. Our most interesting finding has been the clinical manifestations of patients with "Hydrops", consisting of abdominal pain which disappears spontaneously after 24 to 48 hours. The diagnosis has been established only after performing abdominal sonographic studies in children with abdominal pain of unclear etiology.
