Abstract
Cholelithiasis is uncommon in infants. A case of cholelithiasis in a preterm boy who required total parenteral nutrition (TPN) because of prolonged fasting is described. The diagnosis was confirmed by ultrasonography. Despite cholestasis, reintroduction of oral feeding and discontinuation of TPN resulted in the spontaneous disappearance of the gallstones.Entities:
